Jónsi - Go

The Sigur Ros front man steps out from the shadows with a solo live show already described by Pitchfork as "seriously epic", (on the basis of a few models of what's going be on offer). In fact the world's second most famous Icelander* will be over-reaching even the vast ambition of a Sigur Ros live extravaganza with a show designed by 59 Productions which promises to be unlike any previously seen in a rock show. Wild animals, burning buildings, Biblical storms, gradual rejuvenation and ultimate redemption, are all on offer in what promises to be a major theatrical performance. Jonsi will be joined for the shows by a new band of handpicked young musicians, under the tutelage of arranger and "hottest young composer in the world" (Telegraph), Nico Muhly. The show will comprise everything from Jonsi's eagerly awaited new album, plus additional exclusive material never before heard anywhere.

A sneak preview of the live stage show 59 Productions is creating for Jónsi's 2010 tour - a cross between film, art installation, theatre performance and live gig.
Live show: Designed by 59 and Phil Eddolls.
