It's to celebrate the release of new album, Kveikur...
Icelandic act Sigur Rós will tonight (Wednesday June 19) perform a selection of songs from their latest album, Kveikur in a special interactive webcast broadcast from their site.
The band - interviewed in tomorrow's issue of Hot Press - are inviting fans along to [link]www.sigur-ros.co.uk/kveikurlive360[/link] at 7.50pm GMT to enjoy a show live from Dresden, Germany. What's more, fans will be able to take control of the 360 cameras around the stage, and watch the show from whichever angle they choose.
Speaking about Kveikur (which means candlestick, fact fans), Georg Hólm tells Craig Fitzpatrick in our new mag; "The last album was made over such ridiculously long periods of time. The first recording of it was in 2005. While we were making the finishing touches to that, we were meeting up and started writing more stuff. It just came so quickly, the new stuff. We decided to go into the studio and I believe it was only three or four days recording all the basics."
