Bjork to perform at Iceland Airwaves

Bjork, Iceland’s much loved songstress, will be making a special appearance with her Biophilia live show twice at this year’s Iceland Airwaves music festival (taking place 12th – 16th October), alongside another four intimate shows at the newly opened concert hall Harpa, located in downtown Reykjavik.

For these special shows, Bjork will be performing new songs from the forthcoming Biophilia studio album as well as music from her genre-defying back catalogue with a group of unique musical collaborators and a choir of 24 girls. The show will feature a range of specially conceived and crafted instruments, among them a bespoke digitally-controlled pipe organ; a 30 foot pendulum that harnesses the earth’s gravitational pull to create musical patterns.

Bjork will be performing twice at the Iceland Airwaves music festival on Wednesday 12th and Sunday 16th October.

The Biophilla show will also be taking place on Wednesday 19th, Saturday 22nd, Tuesday 25th and Friday 28th October at Harpa and tickets can be obtained for these shows via www.icelandair.is/bjork.
