Sigur Rós Extend North American Tour, Add Second Vancouver Show

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Apr 11, 2016

It looks as if there will be even more evenings with Sigur Rós this fall than we had originally thought. The Icelandic post-rock favourites have announced they've extended their upcoming trek, with a second show added in Vancouver.

A press release confirms that, due to "overwhelming demand," the band have added dates to their forthcoming "An Evening with Sigur Rós" trip. The tour now starts a day earlier, with the act delivering a two-night stand at Vancouver's Queen Elizabeth on September 18 and 19. They've also slotted in a second show at Brooklyn's Kings Theatre on October 7.

As previously reported, the trip also hits Toronto's Massey Hall on October 3. You'll find the updated itinerary below.

The month-long trek is being promoted as "the band's most intimate tour in a decade," with the stage setup eschewing brass and string sections to focus on the core unit of Sigur Rós.

Across two sets a night, they'll be road-testing new material and reinterpreting material "that haven't been played in a very long time."
