Icelandic experimental rock band Sigur Rós is playing a show at Queen Elizabeth Theatre on September 19.

Comprised primarily of theatre shows, this will be the band’s most intimate tour in a decade.

In keeping with the scale of the venues, the group will be performing without the string and brass sections that have been characteristic of recent performances, opting instead to focus on the core unit of the band itself.

Sigur Rós will be road-testing new music as well as attempting new interpretations of old songs that haven't been played in a very long time.

Tickets for the show are priced at $56.50 to $76.50 (plus service charges and fees) and go on sale this Friday (April 8) at 9 a.m. but Straight readers can take advantage of the presale on Thursday (April 7) from 9 a.m.-10 p.m. by going to the Ticketmaster website and submitting our exclusive presale password GRANDI.
