While i would enjoy any opportunity to see Sigur Ros live, after seeing them up close in a reasonably sizezd venue, the last place i want to see them is at a festival
They're also on the 3rd line of the lineup poster, which doesn't bode well for a good set-time. Imagine seeing them in the day.
That show at the Agganis was amazing.

Does anyone have these songs on their playlist translated? Or do you just keep the Icelandic names? I just wonder if they all translate.

That looks pretty similar to the sets they were playing last year. I wonder if they'll be changing it up much this tour.

I love Sigur Ros. But they are probably the one band where I can look at an entire list of their songs and have no idea what any of them sound like by name alone.
