CONCERT:
Held in a large park, Laugardalur, which is near Reykjavik, the concert also features local musician Ólöf Arnalds and will be held between 5pm and 10pm on Saturday 28th June 2008.
Entry is free and all of the performances will be in broad daylight with Iceland's capital city and dramatic rolling scenery providing a perfect backdrop to what is expected to be one of the biggest concerts the country has seen.
Both headlining artists have recently finished a series of touring commitments, with Sigur Rós releasing their brand new album 'Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust' on June 23 and Björk following 2007's 'Volta' with a huge worldwide tour.
BOOK:
If Dreamland: a self help manual to a frightened nation was an equivalent best seller in America, 20 million people would own a copy. Now translated into English, respected Icelandic author Andri Snær Magnason offers a unique perspective on the environmental problems that two musical superstars have dedicated a whole concert to addressing - that of the dramatic increase in aluminium smelting destroying pristine Icelandic nature.
The book was a runaway hit in Iceland and has inspired a renaissance of environmental consciousness, specifically against the industrial metal processing plants that are ruining vast chunks of Europe's largest unspoilt wilderness. Andri's work has been published in twenty countries around the world and he's collaborated with several musicians, including fellow Icelanders Múm.
A feature length documentary film based on the book is scheduled to be released this autumn.page << 1 2 >>
