Andy
says:Amazing show. Thank you guys so much!
Jenn
says:I am genuinely sad that the show did not last forever. As always, Sigur Ros did not disappoint. I absolutely loved this show. I didn’t believe I could love them more, but adding the orchestra adds a completely new dimension to their already rich musical styling. The toned down visual elements brought focus to the music. It was not a detractor. I found myself more than once immersed in the sound. Picking out the various instruments. There were songs that I had not heard live. I was moved tears more than once. If I could, I would be seeing you in Nashville. Thank you for another beautiful performance.
Chad
says:What a special evening. My fifth show. Last time you were in town I brought my daughter and tonight I was able to bring my son. Every time I have seen Sigur Ros live it has been something different altogether, tonight was no different. Thank you so much for truly being one of a kind. A night I won’t forget anytime soon.
Matt
says:That show is firmly in my top 5 shows of all time. Bravo.
Sarah Marmor
says:From start to finish, this was a transporting and immersive performance. The music is, of course, very beautiful — made all the more so by the wonderful Wordless Orchestra. At the end of the first act, I felt like I’d been through ten years of therapy. Cares washed away. Joy and contemplation of the wonders of life and music replaced them. I hope you will consider making a recording of the show for those who weren’t lucky enough to see it live (and for those of us who were). It was perfect. Thank you.
CHRISTIAN Hapner
says:Concert, venue, everything was just incredible. I had goose bumps the entire time sigur ros was playing. An incredible experience.
Jay S
says:I’ve been fortunate enough to have seen the band a few times and greatly treasure each opportunity. Last night’s show with Wordless Music Orchestra was tremendous. From tears welling up with the angelic voice of Jónsi on Ekki múkk to the bring-the-house-down cathartic release on Hoppípolla, this was another unforgettable Sigur Rós experience. And this is what it was – not solely a concert but an experience. I hope to see the band many more times in the future and would look forward to it at the Auditorium Theatre additionally, as it’s a perfect venue to capture their music. Thank you Wordless Music Orchestra and Sigur Rós!
Pamela Ginley
says:I discovered you guys in 2006 and have always wanted to see you in person. Last night in Chicago was everything I could have ever hoped for and so much more. Thank you for creating simply beautiful music.

says:Just an absolutely stellar show, a perfect gem!!! Last year I was fortunate to be able to travel to Seattle to see the show with the orchestra. This year it was such a blessing to see them closer to home and to be able to bring my wife along! We both had a wonderful time. The sound was immaculate, and everything played and sung so beautifully — like messages of solace from a better, angelic world! Takk fyrir!!!

says:Andvari always hits a nerve in me, and I am very thankful they play it. I brought my nephew to this show and he loved it. The whole show was amazing, just like the others with orchestra and without. I’ve been a fan since the 90’s and it’s been a dream of mine to see them in Iceland, and finally I am lucky enough to have tickets to see them in Reykjavik in December. Hoppipola right before they finished was a great and sweet surprise!
