Sigur Ros November in 3arena

Howard Beale

Any other Sigur fans? Very unique creative band always put on a very unique show. I am looking forward to this it's always a treat to see them live.

Hopefully songs from Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust  (rolls of the tongue that!) gets a outing. I really love that album. So incredibly creative and yet simple in parts.

Sigur Rós | 3Arena

Irish Aris

One of my favourite live bands ever!!

This will be my 4th time seeing them live!!!

Watched the movie about them playing in all the small Iceland venues a few years ago. Great band.

Same as. Olympia long time ago, 3Arena and Kilmainham. The gig in the Olympia was special. They were just getting known around that time. Had one or 2 songs as background tunes on TV ads e.g. Hoppipolla and Saeglopur. Tickets were only €30, but became like gold-dust by the time the gig came around. I paid €100 to a tout for the only ticket which seemed available outside the Olympia. And that was about 15 mins before it was due to start. I'm so glad I did. The semi-transparent curtain was pulled across for the last song - Untitled 8; bouncing light all over the Olympia. An amazing spectacle.

3Arena was really good too. Great setlist. The Kilmainham one was alright. Definitely not an outdoor gig band. Music gets lost in whatever bit of wind is swirling around, an general chatter of the crowd.

I saw that movie in the cinema - their little tour of Iceland. It was great catching it on the big screen. Heima it was called.

Just read there that they are playing some new songs on their tour right now. Must check them out.

This link is the setlist for the Sydney gig. If we get that in Dublin, I will be ecstatic.

I've seen them a couple of times and I'm going in November.

I first saw them in the Temple Theatre in 2001. I still have the t-shirt.

Does it still fit Delbert? I was at the Olympia gig too, one of my favourite gigs ever. I haven't really listened to them in an age but looking forward to getting them on again in the run up to the gig.

Yes. I'll probably wear it to the gig.

Respect.

Wish this was in the Olympia rather than the 3 but I'll defs end up picking up a ticket. Probably no pressure to do so quick though given how sparse the 3 was last time!

Was that perhaps the Temple Bar Music Theatre (now Button Factory) in 2000 supporting Godspeed You Black Emperor with Fly Pan-Am also supporting? That was a loooooong night.

No, this was their own gig in the Temple Theatre on Temple Street in April 2001. They had a guest vocalist on the night, Steindór Andersen. The Temple Theatre was a converted 18th century church and the venue was used primarily for clubbing events. It was open from 1996 to 2003 (Google is my friend). The Sigur Rós gig was an unusual departure for them, which probably explains why it was the only occasion I was in the place.

Yeah i remember the Temple alright! As you say, an odd choice to have Sigur Ros in there.

Hi, I hope there are no issues with this post. If there are just let me know and I will remove it.

I have 2 good seated tickets (block E row 31), I am probably going to put them up for resale on ticketmaster, but if someone here is interested I would prefer to sell directly rather than giving TM more money. I am happy to sell at face value (60 each)....or a bit less if you ask nicely.

I still remember that temple bar gig. I had never heard of them before but I was hooked after that night

My tickets are now sold.....

I put together a playlist of the setlist for the current tour. I won't say anything about what's on it, in case people don't like knowing, but I'm listening to it on my drunken train ride home and, **** me, it's majestic. Cannot wait

I had a look on setlist.com a few weeks ago. It's an unreal setlist. And will be a long gig if they play the full version of all of those songs. I normally prefer to stand at gigs. But I think I'll be getting seated for this one. I haven't really listened to any new stuff. Is there anything that stands out on the recent tunes?

I think the only new song is Gold 2, which is being debuted this tour. They've not released a regular album since Kveikur and that was 9yrs ago, lazy buggers 😋

They have a couple of other new songs in the mix.

They seem to have dropped the other new songs for the EU tour. And yes it's a long show but they split it into 2 sets with 15-20 minute intermission.

Ya. They also play a couple of other tunes - maybe b-sides from singles?? I never heard those. I must put the tunes that I don't know from the setlist into a playlist, and have a listen.

Pity they don't play Von. I'd love to hear that live. Otherwise, the setlist is perfect in my opinion.

Have you got it on Spotify? Any chance of sharing the link please?

No, sorry, I'm too cheap to pay for Spotify 😂

One of them - Rafmagnið Búið - is the intro to Ny Batteri that only appeared on the Ny Batteri single. The other one - Smáskífa - is from the Vaka single and has been regularly played live for many years (and is also one of favourite songs of theirs).

WindmillWarrior

This will be my first time seeing them live indoors. Very much looking forward to it. The set list is very beautiful

flasher0030

Anyone know the actual time the band are due on stage. It seems like they play a very long set. 9 is the general time the main bands kick off. But I have a feeling this will kick off sone time earlier than that. Maybe even 8.15??

Fanirish

8pm on stage. No support

Fanirish

As per mcd twitter account on Tuesday

I saw them in the Ambassador just before the release of ( ). They played lots from that album but because nobody had heard it yet the atmosphere was a bit subdued for much of the gig. Of course that album is now a classic, and has just been rereleased. I also saw them at the EP one year but for various reasons don’t have a great memory of that gig.

Can’t go tonight, unfortunately. Good luck to those who are!

Eod100

Don't think I'd seen the curtains down for standing area before

FortuneChip

First time seeing them tonight, something always got in the way.

Did see Jonsi solo before in Paris many years ago.

Anyway, stellar show.

They sound fantastic. Visuals were good craic too. Definitely some tunes I didn't know, but got a good few bangers in there throughout. Really enjoyed it.

Nice being at a gig where nobody dares sing along obnoxiously 😁

accensi0n

Was brilliant.

Stillill42

Spectacular stuff. Loved that.

Electric Nitwit

Thought the first half was brilliant, but the second half... wow, that was incredible!

The hit of the second half of Festival never fails, just absolute joy. Following that with Kveikur was quite a shift in mood, still awesome but a lot more evil!

They're so tight now, every song was great. Particularly loved them all huddling together for Samskeyti.

The visuals and stage set up were probably pared back from what I've seen before from them, but were still great

As mentioned above, the sound was brilliant. I've often heard people say the sound isn't great in the 3arena but they proved it's all down to the sound engineers. Credit to them, crystal clear last night

Anyway, absolutely loved it, can't wait to hear the new album next year. Hopefully they tour with it, but I suspect we might have to wait a bit

delbertgrady

Probably my favourite time seeing them. Also, in a world where t-shirts at nearly every big gig are €35 or €40, it was great to see some really nice ones there for €25.

As it happens, I'd been to three concerts in the space of a week (Pavement, Perturbartor and Sigur Rós) and this was the one I enjoyed this the most. I really liked how they played a good long set with an intermission to break it up. The choice of songs was perfect, the sound was excellent and the crowd in the standing area around me seemed to be just as enthralled by the music as I was. I definitely won't be waiting so long to see Sigur Rós again.
