Today, Sigur Rós are pleased to announce the EU/UK leg of their unique world tour that sees them collaborating with orchestras, bringing their latest album »ÁTTA« to life alongside favourites from their extensive catalogue. This tour will see them playing in some of the world's most iconic orchestral venues. London’s Royal Albert Hall, Rome’s Sala Santa Cecilia, Paris’ Salle Playel, Brussels’ Bozar and the Konzerthaus in Vienna are just some of the storied venues included.
This tour arrives off the back of their acclaimed 2023 album, »ÁTTA«, as well as last year’s sold-out orchestral tour across Europe and two recently completed sold-out tours in North America. The 2024/2025 shows will be the last chance for fans to see this orchestral performance from Sigur Rós, making these dates another important milestone in their career. 2025 will continue to be a special year for the band, with their seminal album »Takk« reaching its 20th anniversary.
Playing at the Royal Albert Hall for the first time in their career, Sigur Rós will be joined by and performing with the London Contemporary Orchestra (LCO). All shows will be conducted by Robert Ames.
Other orchestras the band will be collaborating with in 2025 include the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra, Taiwan National Symphony Orchestra, Resound Collective, Brisbane Philharmonic, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and more.
In 2023, Sigur Rós set upon having orchestral accompaniment as part of their tours, with the band wanting to put a spotlight on a series of phenomenal orchestras around the world, not just themselves. Having reunited with keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson in 2022, the members played alongside full orchestras in grand concert halls across Europe and North America. The band enlisted the Wordless Music Orchestra for their Stateside dates and were described as »an articulation of beauty almost beyond comprehension« (Dallas Observer), the performances are simultaneously as expressive and indescribable as Hopelandic, all a testament to the timeless pull of Sigur Rós.
The new tour comes in the wake of a fruitful era for the band’s fans. At the start of the new decade, the band dove deep into their archives for long-anticipated works. They first released »Odin’s Raven Magic« (2020), an orchestral album originally made nearly two decades prior, and later reissued for its 20th anniversary in 2022. Their first collection of new material in nearly a decade, »ÁTTA« (2023) leans heavily towards the orchestral, featuring contributions from the London Contemporary Orchestra. With close to ten million albums sold, Sigur Rós stands as one of the most ambitious and acclaimed bands of recent times, whose new artistic endeavours only points towards an expansive, exciting future.
Program and cast
Wiener Konzerthaus
The Wiener Konzerthaus ( Vienna Concert House or Hall) is one of the largest and most artistically progressive institutions in international musical life. During the course of a season, which extends from September to June, some 750 wide-ranging events take place and more than 600,000 visitors can listen to around 2,500 different compositions. With this comprehensive and varied selection, the Wiener Konzerthaus – together with the Vienna State Opera House and the Musikverein – is central to Vienna’s reputation as one of the world’s leading music capitals.
From its earliest days, the Wiener Konzerthaus has held the highest cultural aims and artistic mission: «To act as a venue for the cultivation of fine music, as a meeting point for artistic endeavour, as a home for music and a cultural centre for Vienna». It was in this spirit that the Konzerthaus was inaugurated on 19 October 1913 with a festive concert attended by Emperor Francis Joseph I. To mark the occasion, Richard Strauss wrote the «Festliches Präludium op. 61», which was followed by Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. This programme combination, comprising a contemporary work and a masterpiece from the past, served as a model for the Wiener Konzerthaus’s future direction: today, too, an awareness of tradition and the joys of innovation form the main pillars of the Konzerthaus’s artistic identity.

Great Hall
In the heart of the building (which consists of more than 600 rooms) lies the Konzerthaus’s flagship, the Grosser Saal (Great Hall). Designed with a sense of space and classical balance, its stage has provided the setting for many memorable concerts over the years. In this room, artists, audiences and atmosphere blend into a harmonious triad.
Home to world-famous orchestras, virtuoso soloists, renowned conductors and legendary jazz musicians, the Great Hall can accommodate an audience of 1,800 and offers the perfect venue for a wide variety of musical activity. The Great Hall has emerged from the major renovation with renewed splendour and, despite improvements in technical installation and audience comfort has continued to conserve its original elegance. Its unique atmosphere ideally lends itself to the broad range of artistic activities offered by the Vienna Konzerthaus.
Mozart Hall
Open and relaxing, welcoming and intimate, with its incomparable appeal, the Mozart Hall constitutes a jewel of international musical life. The perfect setting for all types of chamber music, from lute and Lieder recitals to string quartets and chamber orchestras, it can accommodate an audience of around 700 – an ideal size in which to experience the intimacy of chamber music and recital performances.
The Mozart Hall enjoys world-wide acclaim on account of its unique acoustics. This distinction makes it a top favourite with leading ensembles and soloists – as well as a popular venue for recordings. This was taken into account during the major renovation of the building: as with all other rooms in the Konzerthaus, the Mozart Hall is directly linked to a recording studio and a technical control room.
Schubert Hall
With its festive character, the Schubert-Saal presents the perfect model of a music salon, the restored use of the windows follwing the renovation having returned the room to its elegant, airy appearance.
Equipped with around 320 seats, it lends itself to a wide range of chamber-music concerts, as well as to receptions, dinners and lectures. It is home to the popular lunchtime concert series, as well as to events which enable promising young musicians to experience a professional concert stage. Many a musical career has been launched in the Schubert Hall of the Vienna Konzerthaus.
