Björk and Yoko Ono join Iceland Airwaves festival bill

October’s Iceland Airwaves festival grows curiouser and curiouser with the news that Björk will bring her her Biophilia live show to her hometown festival for a series of six performances at the Harpa - Reykjavík Concert Hall.

Björk will be joined at her performances by the 24-piece all-female choir Graduale Nobili. The shows will also feature her new range of specially built instruments, including a digitally-controlled pipe organ; a 30 foot pendulum that uses gravity to create musical patterns and a bespoke gamelan-celeste hybrid. While individual tickets for the shows sold out swiftly, package deals are still available from icelandair.

The festival has also recently added a host of other names including:
Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band
Owen Pallett
Glasser
Zun Zun Egui
Other Lives
GusGus
For a Minor Reflection
Kippi Kaninus
Sykur
Vicky
