Secret Sounds and Double J are excited to announce that much lauded Icelandic band Sigur Rós are set to return to Australia for a run of truly special, one-of-a-kind performances. May 2025 will see them bring their distinctive and ethereal music to stages with Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra, along with shows in Sydney. There are few bands that cut through the noise and distractions of the world to bring you a pure elemental truth or feeling like Sigur Rós. It seems only fitting that now they will return down under with 41-piece orchestra and their most intimate and emotionally direct album to date, ÁTTA. Since their formation, the band has masterfully blended ambient electronics, orchestral and rock instruments, with the haunting falsetto of frontman Jónsi at the helm. The band ?rst emerged from Iceland with their debut album, Von, in 1997, but it was their sophomore album, Ágætis byrjun, in 1999 that propelled them to international acclaim. The album won them the prestigious Shortlist Music Prize and was declared Iceland’s Best Album of the Century. Following this success, their third album, ( ), was celebrated for its innovative use of Jónsi’s made-up language, known as Hopelandic. Entry Cost All tickets $129.9
