    Sensational. What a show. Cant wait to see you again. Saw you in Manchester in March and you didn’t do Festival – so that was my highlight from the night. Although Poplaggid was wonderful too. Enjoy the rest of the tour.

    Thanks for a great concert. Pop Song at the very end was sensational. Your music has been such an important part of my life for over the last ten years. It was wonderful seeing you live for only my second time. I hope to do so again soon. Have a great winter tour.

  • Chris

    says:

    I’ve waited years to see Sigur Ros live, and I’m so glad it was just as epic as I had hoped it would be. What a show – for less than 50 euros too! Fantastic !

  • Dave in Dublin

    says:

    I’ve become used to amazing performances by Sigur Ros but this one was special, even by their incredibly high standards. Mesmerising, epic, mindblowing, peerless.

  • Emma

    says:

    Last night was fantastic! Sigur Ros but on one hell of a show. They have to be one of the best live bands going. They evoke real emotion from everyone. Sheer passion and love from both the band and crowd.
    Come back soon!

  • Paul

    says:

    Sublime live experience. A beautiful show with all elements of the production working in total harmony. Best lighting design I have ever seen with exquisite projection design too. Sound was crystal clear and the musicianship and music were first rate. Thank you so much please come back before too long.

  • Neil

    says:

    Seamus, the last song is Untitled No. 8 off the Brackets () album. Also know as popplagid.

  • Cath

    says:

    Amazing…..a feast for the senses. Ears grappling with the confluence of minor major clashes, eyes dancing in rhythmic unison, heart thumping vibrations resonating……mystical, magical……brilliant.

  • Shan

    says:

    Seeing Sigur Rós live is kind of like finally getting with that someone you fell in love with just before s/he leaves the country, it was everything you thought it would be and more. But the next day you’re really sad because you know that it will be a long before it you see them again and all you are left with is the memories, and nothing else will ever compare that one night.

  • haymer

    says:

    best live band i have ever and possibly will ever see

  • Pat

    says:

    I’ve been to every gig you’ve played in Ireland, apart from Oxygen. And you never cease to amaze me. The two hours were over in a flash. You rarely get a gig that is received with such respect and attention. The complete audience completely entranced! The gig of the year and that includes Roger Waters. Come back soon, PLEASE and TAKK…..

  • Pat

    says:

    what an amazing show/experience, we saw you in Manchester in March and thought nothing could top that concert but you’ve exceeded even that, the set list was well balanced with old & new classics. We can’t wait to see you perform again, takk guys for so much :-)

  • Joanne

    says:

    It was more than just a concert, it was an experience. An experience that I shall never forget. It was an absolute honour to see you guys. Thank you for coming to Ireland and please come back again soon!!

  • rachel

    says:

    my first ever concert, absolutely breathtaking and such an incredible atmosphere. effects were astounding and the music was absolutely perfect, takk fyrir ?

  • luke

    says:

    My friend and I left the O2 arena absolutely speechless. The whole performance was breathtaking. The sound along with the visual really made the experience exceptional. Please come back again!

  • Jozef V.VODA

    says:

    I go to gigs all the time, and only last Saturday I saw Depeche Mode at the very same venue, but I have to admit, Sigur Ros absolutely kick ass! Amazing match of music and visuals; crystal clear, powerful sound and brilliant performance. I loved the veiled intro, which worked so well. Actually, it reminded me of The Devotional Tour intro Higher Love, but that is a different story. Great support band. I wish this tour was recorded and released on DVD. massive TAKK!

  • John

    says:

    I was literally in tears at one stage. Unbelievably faithful to the original material, but so full of life and energy as well. I was worried that it wouldn’t be the same without Kjartan but the eleven piece band more than made up for his absence. 10/10

  • Jp

    says:

    Takk

  • John

    says:

    My first Sigur Ros show, an amazing experience, loved the veiled intro and visuals throughout, fantastic finish and great crowd reaction. Takk.

  • Brian

    says:

    Amazing show from start to finish. Brilliant band and feel very lucky to have seen them. I hope you will come back soon.

  • Náraic

    says:

    Beautiful intensity, transcendent heartness. Still have the sounds/visuals resonating. Takk!!

  • Ciaran

    says:

    Amazing night, thank you.. Who were the support act & why weren’t they mentioned anywhere….Very good!!

  • Luca

    Amazing gig, you are true artists. Can’t wait to see you again, sad it’s not this weekend!

  • pjdd

    says:

    first sigur ros concert sucha magical experience sounds like you come from another planet , loved it , takk !
    come back soon

  • Michael

    says:

    My mood was dampened by the poor display Ireland put on against Australia but then…Sigur Ros…. I was transcended to places that I’d never knew existed. You touch the soul and seem to know the pure essence of music. Creative, multiple mood changing,spiritual, heavenly, emotional, original, innovative,magnificently beautiful music.

  • Amy

    says:

    Thank you so much for coming to Ireland, the show was inspiring, best performance I have ever seen. Please come back soon!

  • Julie Anne

    says:

    Go Raibh Míle Maith Agaibh Sigur Rós! What an experience, I’m still in awe of the beauty and power and magic of your concert in Dublin. My first Sigur Rós concert and it just blew my mind like I hoped it would! Please come back to Ireland when you can! Ethereal. Peace and Love x x x

  • laura

    says:

    We first saw you guys 7 years ago in Manchester when my partner and I were just friends. It was that weekend of the concert we realised we really liked each other more than that. As we drove home from Manchester through some beautiful mountains – Hoppipolla came on the radio and was a very special moment.
    We have seen you loads of times since and each time has been great.
    …This Dublin show though was particularly special for me as after the show, whilst we were walking back along a pretty part of the river Liffey, my boyfriend proposed!
    So all 7 years and 2 children since we first saw you – when we first got together as a couple,we are finally getting married!!!
    We will always have a special place in our hearts for Sigur Ros and I will be walking down the aisle to Hoppipolla.
    Takk xxx

    Brought family (incl 2 daughters aged 9 & 12 – nights like this an important part of their education). Bloody wonderful. The kids had better pick a nice nursing home for their parents when we’re older :-)

  • debbie

    says:

  • Sinéad Ward

    says:

    I feel so good since Saturday night’s Dublin gig. It was beautiful, visual, emotive and perfect. Something you don’t get to experience often but when u do you want to cling on to & recreate the feeling for as long as possible! So now I’m in a Sigur Ros music bubble !! & like one other fan put it, a bit sad that it was so beautiful but I know I can’t have that again soon …. Please! come back before too long & Thank you! x

    on the day you are coming to Finland 30/11/13, i have to work, so had to fly to Dublin to see you for the second time this year (Ilosaari).. First time for me in The O2 arena. Great arena, spectacular band.. perkele!

  • Paula

    says:

    1st time seeing Sigur Ros, it was amazing. I really didn’t expect to have been as blown away, I was on the verge of tears during a few songs. The gig was beautiful from a very gorgeous band. I will be back to a Sigur Ros gig, hopefully in the near future.

  • Kamil

    says:

    First time I saw your concert and it was one of the best experiance ever.
    My wife has all your albums and this was a gift for her
    as she loves what you are doing. She said after the show
    that her dream came true. Thank you for creating something such beautyfull!!! Can’t wait to see you again and thank you for that unforgeteble experiance. Dziekujemy :)

  • billy

    says:

    stunning. i saw them in Brussels in February and they blew me away – but they topped that in Dublin. essentially the same show but even better second time round. the sound, the visuals, the reproduction, the set list, the genius. an absolute must see.
