Legendary Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós played a sold out show at King’s Theater in Brooklyn on Friday, August 18. The band played accompanied by the 41-piece Wordless Music Orchestra.
The incredible stage design featured a variety of lighting fixtures, both to light the orchestra’s sheet music and to provide a warm visual. A heavy atmosphere floated over the crowd, and fans sat captive in their seats throughout the entire performance. The lights pulsed and danced gently with the ambient sounds of the music. The only interruption from the rapturous ensemble came at the end of each song, when the crowd would let out big cheers.
King’s Theatre is easily one of the most beautiful concert venues in New York, and provided the perfect setting for Sigur Rós and their orchestra to hypnotize the audience into sheer bliss. This show proved to be an experience quite unlike any other, and there’s no doubt fans will be reminiscing on this for quite a while.
