Icelandic wonder band Sigur Rós has announced plans to return to the U.S. after a limited run this summer surrounding their appearance at the 2012 Outside Lands Music Festival in Golden Gate Park. Notably, the tour begins in Washington, DC before the band makes their first headlining appearance at Madison Square Garden. On the band’s tour dates page, the show is being billed as:
“the most expansive sigur rós live experience yet, with the band taking the stage alongside all the additional players and expanded brass and string sections of the summer shows. this time, however, they will be incorporated into a completely new show, which also comes with the potent promise of brand new material, post-dating even this year’s ambient-leaning ‘valtari’ album.”
With a stop in Phoenix and San Francisco scheduled between the two weekends of Coachella 2013 in Indio, CA and no plans for an LA show, it seems that a return appearance at the mega festival is almost a sure bet with openings during both weekends (4/12-14, 4/19-21)
Finally, all fans purchasing tickets to the 2013 shows will receive a digital copy of a three-track ep, containing new and unreleased music, made available to ticket holders on march 22nd, 2013.
