‘We’ve been touring so many years. It was time to do something new, something exciting. This felt like the perfect time to do it.’
Following the release of ÁTTA, their first album in a decade, Sigur Rós launched a limited run of orchestral concerts with London Contemporary Orchestra - beginning as part of Christine and the Queens’ Meltdown Festival 2023.
In this exclusive look behind the scenes during rehearsals at Maida Vale Studios, we get the opportunity to see the band’s preparations for this first live performance of the collaboration and hear more from bassist Georg Hólm and LCO’s conductor Robert Ames about what this partnership means to the artists.
Drawing on their 25-year catalogue and new album ÁTTA, Sigur Rós performed with the London Contemporary Orchestra at Royal Festival Hall on Friday 16th June 2023 as part of Christine and the Queens’ Meltdown Festival.
