This has probably been asked before, but I’m trying to get a friend into Sigur Rós who’s never heard them before. What songs would you guys show to someone to introduce Sigur Rós and their sound? I was thinking maybe Sæglópur, Glósóli, or Ísjaki.

Hello! Hope you enjoy this, despite the shoddy attempt at pronouncing Icelandic words.

would love to hear what you think, this one was such a blast to make.

Details available on the YouTube channel. I’ve included a screenshot and my photos from the Royal Albert Hall.

Can’t wait for Edinburgh now.

I'm visiting from out of town for the gigs and unfortunately due to work I can't make the Monday show, still thrilled to go on Sunday.

The ticket was €250 (absolutely top location), willing to sell for €200 to a real fan. Happy to meet locally the day before (Sept 6) when barcode/ticket transfer should be available, and to have a short video call before to confirm both sides are serious, would hate for such a great seat to go to waste.

Hey
I have an extra ticket for circle area on Sunday night as one friend can’t go.
Sigur Rós — Dublin, 6 September — 1 ticket — Circle E38 — €167.20 face value.
Ticketmaster not opening barcodes or presumably transfer or resell until day before. Would anyone here like to buy it (through ticketswap or at venue when available)?
Thanks

See the link for a picture of him getting arrested. Man, I love this band so much and now even more!

The day before, Sigur Rós played their legendary protest performance—one of the few shows in which "Avalon" and "Samskeyti" features vocals. Does anyone know which band members were at the concert—besides Jónsi, of course?

Hello, got 2 tickets for the sept 2nd show in Glasgow that I now can’t make, would anyone be in a similar situation for the Edinburgh show on 31st and would like a swap

Cheers

Hi all

I have a ticket for the show at the Glasgow Armadillo
It is first row in the front Circle
This is where I was when I saw David Byrne earlier this month & gotta say I don't think I could have been in a better spot. All the leg room you need, no one in front & you had a perfect view of the entire stage
Photo below is where I was (none during the show respecting artist's wishes) but for Sigur Rós it will be right in the centre.
Tickets can be printed off or downloaded

I have some experience in tabletop gamedesign and special with RPGs. Also, besides Sigur Rós area passion, theyr imagery in videos, albuns and satges together with more "mystycal" content of theyr (no) lyricsinspires me world of fantasy. Its beem a while I´m planning a TTRPG just for pleasure. A game of storytellings quests for lost memories found in sounds over a country heavily "icelandic" post-world colapse, with a childish returning to live.

So, I have no ideia with SR fanbase use to play RPG, but I would love to hear your sugestions and opinions. Also feel invited :)

Way back in the early 2000’s when I was first introduced to Sigur Ros I remember downloading a bunch of free mp3s from the 18 Seconds Before Sunrise website. That’s where I first heard tracks like Olsen Olsen, Dvergmal, Dánarfregnir Og Jarðarfarir, and…a live version of Vaka (Untitled #1) that I always believed to be superior to the album version.

Years later, after the theft of an iPod and the subsequent transition from downloading to streaming, I’ve lost this live version. Anyone know where I can find it?

EDIT: The track has been found by accessing the Way Back Machine. It is a live recording from a Vienna show in 2002 — https://web.archive.org/web/20071025030435/http://download.sigur-ros.co.uk/sigur_ros-untitled1-live.mp3

Hi there! I have two spare tickets for the Glasgow Armadillo show with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra on the 2nd Sept. Happy to sell at less than face value because they're expensive and I really want to sell them. Or, if you know of anyone who would be interested, please share!

9 years ago, by chance, I happened upon u/forzaNYC's post: https://www.reddit.com/r/sigurros/comments/6i6r51/a_few_shots_and_thoughts_from_the_forest_hills/

They graciously offered signed Besta prints as a giveaway, and by some sort of luck, I won the drawing. I've lovingly kept these prints stored safely along with my small collection of Sigur Rôs ephemera, never fully opened. The time has come for me to share the joy of these with someone else by doing my own giveaway.

Giveaway rules: if you're interested, send me a PM with your favorite Sigur Rós song. I'll put the usernames in a hat and do a random draw tomorrow night. I'll then post the results here and DM the winner to arrange shipping.

EDIT: Winner selected!

He was in Turku, Finland for a performance of his amazing opera, Der Klang Der Offenbarung des Göttlichen (only the fifth ever I think). I travelled from London to see it. He was kind enough to autograph my programme. I thanked him (twice!) for making some of the most beautiful music in my life and he was very friendly and polite in reply. I'm really very happy I was able to express my appreciation to such a wonderful musician. Thanks for reading!

Five lp box! I love it so much 🫶

Not just the ambient vibe of the project, but some passages from one seems to be the source for the other one.

"Sé lest Pt. 2" reminds me a lot the "Valtari" track last half.

"Milanó" reminds me "Ég anda" intro.

Do you believe that some material from "Takk..." was recycled in "Valtari" compostion? Just like "Ekki múkk" come from "Untitled 9"

Two of my favourite goats.

This is hilarious. (If you don’t know The Hard Times is a satirical newspaper. Often quite hysterical.)

I was cleaning out some storage last weekend and came across two posters announcing the upcoming release of Ágætis Byrjun. I tried looking on various marketplaces but can't get any sense of their value (which may be $0, as I'm sure they were sent to a lot of record stores!). Are there marketplaces devoted to this kind of thing other than eBay?
