Last week Icelandic experimental rock band Sigur Rós announced an upcoming North Americantour for the Fall.

Further information and exclusive presales will be available to subscribers of the Sigur Rós mailing list; sign up info can be found here:sigur-ros.co.uk
As with the other dates on the tour, the band will be appearing without a support act, instead offering the audience two sets (with an intermission) starting from 8:30pm. Tickets for the rest of the tour are on sale now, with the exception of September 24 at Hollywood Bowl, which is on sale now for 5 or more tickets (single tickets go on sale May 1).
The month long run is comprised primarily of theater shows, marking 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. The shows will give the group a chance to road test new music, the first time since the tour leading up to the acclaimed ( ) album in 2002 that the band has performed new material ahead of album recording sessions. Alongside this experimentation played out in public, the band is also planning on attempting new interpretations of old songs that haven't been played in a very long time.
