OF MONSTERS AND MEN have come a long way from their native Iceland. They quickly became a phenomenon in 2011 with the quadruple-platinum “Little Talks” and their chart-topping debut, My Head Is An Animal, which has since moved 2 million copies worldwide. Since then, the group have delivered rapturous performances at festivals such as  Lollapalooza,Bonnaroo, Coachella, Newport Folk Festival, Osheaga, Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds,Pukkelpop, and Splendour in the Grass as well as at countless sold out headline shows the world over.
