hmph, I'll be in France when they play England and Ireland when they play France. I'm going to have to wait for the next tour methinks. If they're touring does this mean that there's a new album on the way?

Mutant_Fruit

nooooooooooo!

I'd kill for an irish date. Damn them! i live in hope that they'll annonce one soon.

I know it wouldn't suit their sound but they are free on the weekend of Oxegen. They play Manchester on the Friday night, might go to T In The Park on Saturday, and then Oxegen on Sunday.

Just an idea....

wait, sigur rós are playin oxegen!?

July 9th is a saturday. That's when they play in Manchester.

i have to say no irish date is somewhat surprising, in my own experience they are really popular with students and what have you and would have thought they would have sold more then enough albums here to justify a date. dam them anyway, seeing them on yahoo music playing live tracks really makes me wanna see them (i was of the previous opinion they could not pull it off live).

John

I'm also surprised there's no Irish dates considering they've played here about five times already, the last two times being two nights in a row at the Ambassador which were both sold out. Great gigs.

damien

I've seen them live twice. Once at their own show in Dublin and in Paris when they took part in the "Odin's Raven's Magic" concert. More about that show.

I'd advise anyone to go see that show if it happens again. No matter where it's on. Just wish I brought someone else with me to experience it. I'm still lost for words 6 months later. Greatest concert I was ever at.

please for the love of sweet jesus let that statement be true

John

I second Deadwing's wishes of truth, especially for a date in August or September when I'm actually around to see them

Are they not playing London either?

nope, there was a tour planned (and fully scheduled) for may, but it was eastern europe. that tour was postponed until august/septemberish.

to be honest i cant see an irish concert this tour, i hope it happens, but if they arent doing it on this leg, then doing it in a few months isnt very likely. after the leg that was mentioned in the first post, they still have to do eastern europe and america.

the new album will be released september-ish

download some of the tracks on sigur-ros.co.uk media section, they can certainly put on one hell of a live show. its not for everyone granted, but if you are a fan, then you'll love them live.

Slightly less surprising - no date for the Czech Republic

Better get myself to Berlin I guess.

there will be eastern european dates later this summer. someone told me sept 24th for prague, but thats complete speculation at the moment, cos sigur rós always changed their dates/plans

i know they block booked a venue here for May but they then postponed it saying that they would be coming back later in the year after summer.

damien

Right, I'm going to book for London. Cheap flights there with Aer Lingus at the moment too.

ah interesting, i didnt know that. i did have the previous tour dates for the cancelled may tour in eastern europe, didnt realise there was another tour schedule floating around. they do have a tendancy to plan/cancel a bit. like a few years back (2002?) when they were gonna play the galway arts festival.

damien

Ahhh, better link. Got my ticket and my Aer Lingus flights. Woot.

IanluvsKathleen

apparently it wont be til later in the year now.

MCD are organising it tho.

Deadwing

I dont care when it is just as long as it happens!!

I downloaded the mp3s from their site and just listening to it i'm lost for words. I can imagine actually seeing that show would leave such an affect!!!

I haven't seen them live yet.... have to see them this time around

odins ravens magic is still being performed every now and then, it was debuted in 2002, then done twice i think in 2003 and then twice again last september in paris.

also it has been recorded and will be released on dvd in some form over the next year or so.

there are bootlegs available of four performances
2002.04.21 barbican [odin's raven magic]
2002.05.24 reykjavík [odin's raven magic]
2004.09.28 paris [odin's raven magic]
2004.09.29 paris [odin's raven magic]

you can get them from our dc++ hub . my user name is "darren" in there, im in there a lot.

They were brilliant in London. Fantastic venue too. The songs from the upcoming album seem far more upbeat than the songs from (). I think I may book some flights to Boston to see them in September.

drrnwbb

cool, i see them in copenhagen on saturday and to be honest i cant wait. i might be going to that boston gig aswell, so if you're going let me know. (tickets go on sale july 16th on ticketmaster)

I was going to go to England to see them, but I totally forgot.
If they play, we have to go mad with the stencils, yeah?
After seeing Mogwai, I would love to see Sigur Rós.
