They are breathtakingly colossal, their music hauntingly beautiful, their artistry overwhelmingly entrancing. They are pure auditory bliss, captivating, and almost like wrapping yourself in a warm blanket on a cold winter's night.
They are the Icelandic post-rock band that took the world by storm with their ethereal sound, haunting falsetto vocals, and otherworldly sounding bowed guitar. They are the very band Alex Somers referred to when he said “they’re so good, man!”, and the award-winning creators of pure musical magic that leaves heads and hearts full.
They are Sigur Rós, and they have just announced the final leg of their unique world tour alongside local orchestras and renowned conductor Robert Ames. And this fall you’re getting really lucky, Portland, because Sigur Rós is coming to the Moda Centre on 14 November 2025 alongside the Wordless Music Orchestra!

Just when you think pure musical ecstasy doesn’t exist anymore, you meet Sigur Rós and you have no choice but to change your mind. And just when you think that Sigur Rós can’t get any better, they reach new heights and blow everything you thought you knew about music out of the water.
This fall, the final leg of the unique world tour that has seen the Icelandic post-rockers collaborating with local orchestras under the masterful baton of acclaimed conductor Robert Ames, is coming to shore in North America. The ethereal performances are slated to kick off in early November 2025 in San Diego, California, breezing through multiple major venues before wrapping up at the end of November 2025 in Mexico City, Mexico. It is everything you could possibly want and more - from favorites from across their extensive catalogue such as Svefn-g-englar, Starálfur, Glósóli, Hoppípolla, and Ekki Múkk, to beloved hits from their 2023 studio album, Átta, and various songs from their fourth studio album, Takk….
Even though Sigur Rós’ usual performances are more electric-driven, the orchestral approach casts a whole new light on their post-rock-meets-dream-pop sounds. It’s literally music that surpasses the visual - it’s joyous and delicate - an absolutely immersive wave of sound that promises to leave heads and hearts full.
From the magnificent study in perfect sound, Von, and the serene Andvari, to the wafting strings and melancholic piano of Varðeldur, from the spiritual, yet somber and slightly hymnal Ylur and the joy of Sé Lest to the captivating Vaka, enigmatic frontman Jónsi Birgisson, bassist Georg Hólm, and multi-instrumentalist Kjartan Sveinsson are bound to engulf audiences with a sonic experience that surpasses anything they have ever experienced before.
Sigur Rós is slated to fill the incredible Moda Centre with impeccable vocals and mind-blowing musicianship this fall - and you simply have to be there! The performance is scheduled to make use of the ‘Theatre of the Clouds’ setting - featuring an installation of a full curtain set and a seating capacity of 3,000 apart from the additional 6,500 seats the Skyboxes and Party Suites offers. With the venue’s state-of-the-art sound and lighting, superb acoustics, impeccable sight-lines, every seat is a great seat!
So go on, get your tickets now, and get in on a concert experience that will leave you wanting more!
