Sigur Rós 2013

[scenicworld]

I already know that I'm going to miss one or two of my top acts in favor of Sigur Ros, but I'm ok with that.

[Thisismyname]

In terms of the SF Bay Area venues they've played, they are usually in the 1500-2500 seat range (Fox, Greek, Fillmore). They did headline one of the stages at OSL this last year.

They're playing the Bill Graham this year.

And on the subject of Sigur Ros, I better have absolute quiet during their set from you punks. I'll cut a bitch.

Yeah from what I saw on all the OSL youtube videos, the crowd was LOUD and TALKATIVE and seemed generally annoying and unappreciative of what was transpiring on the stage in front of them.

It was like that at the festival too. Lot of kids who chose their set over Metallica, it got annoying as fuck.

[oddlyenough]

Sigur Rós is quickly becoming my most anticipated act of the weekend.

I was there and I didn't find that to be the case so idk.
I was in the front so maybe the talkers were behind me?

Maybe. Most of the youtube videos of that set I've seen have been from people recording at least halfway to 3/4 of the way back. Social butterflies all up in that crowd, at least from the videos I've viewed.

STFU people, Sigur Rós is playing!

[WhatLies]

Sigur Ros was beautiful at osl. I elected to isolate myself from my group for the set so I could enjoy their set in peace. Best decision I made that weekend

and while we're on the subject, I support Sigur Ros closing the mainstage 12:30-1:00 after phoenix

A thirty minute set? Fuck ya!

[chrismowgli]

As someone who has never really listened to Sigur Ros can someone post some songs to will help me get into them?

[Bob_Loblaw]

A thirty minute set? Fuck ya!

lol

[reyhanmamara]

Finally I'll watch them first (live in Jakarta) before Coachella starts

[gacbullet]

YOU WILL CRY

[AeroplaneJunkie]

of the giant clusterfuck that saturday night will be AGAIN, all i'm hoping is to see the Postal Service and Sigur Ros, with decent spots at both. So basically, one band would have a sunset slot on the main, with the other closing the outdoor

[sjnewberg]

This might be my most anticipated set. Saw Jonsi in 2010 and was completely blown away even though the sun was out and he should have been given a night slot.
Grow Till Tall was one of my favorite songs of the weekend. If Sigur Ros can match that even 80% I will be more than satisfied.

[naterased]

I saw them this summer at Summer Sonic in Japan. Sooooo good. They better get over an hour set. Please crowd stfu during the set.

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

The most important thing is that they get a night slot and hopefully it's on the Main Stage. I think it will be really crowded if they get thrown on the Outdoor stage before Phoenix takes on he Main Stage. Everyone I talk to agrees that this is one of the most anticipated gigs of the weekend. Fuck - they should just headline they whole thing.

[ameeps]

The most important thing is that they get a night slot and hopefully it's on the Main Stage.

I think, or at least I hope that Goldenvoice has enough respect to give them a nighttime slot. Plus i'm sure GV has seen how annoyed they were over having a daytime slot at Lollapalooza.

[AllAlright]

Have any bands who have played the mainstage ever repeated Coachella on the Outdoor?

Air played the Mainstage in 04, then the Outdoor stage in 07.

Some pics I took of Sigur Rós in 2006:

[AnthonyMBeck]

we were on lsd for their set at osl and we could not help but be beyond fully engaged for that set. it was my buddies first time, he had always been into blues based rock and well, this opened him up a bit.

[ManImCool]

Rando question - has anyone here seen them live outside of the US?

[anonimouse]

GV isnt stupid guys, they know how to make the "magic" sets happen unlike some of the other fests. it will 100% be a sunset/post-sunset setime either on the main or the outdoor.

And on the subject of Sigur Ros, I better have absolute quiet during their set from you punks. I'll cut a bitch.

because of that reason i'll probably spend their set on the sidelines lying on the grass eyes closed as i did for bon iver weekend1 last year. being crammed in with a bunch of people is the last place in the world i want to be when listening to sigur ros. if they pull a hologram tupac with the new light show i can always try braving the crowd weekend2 i guess

I caught part of their set at Osheaga in Montreal last year. The crowd was dead silent in awe of how incredible it sounded.

[ghettosteez]

Here's to hoping they aren't booked in such a way that a ton of uninterested people somehow end up yapping their mouths off during the middle of one of the most beautiful sets ever (see: Outside Lands)

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

So far on the main I have 2 Chainz > Janelle Monae > Franz Ferdinand > Two Door Cinema Club > Sigur Ros > New Order > the XX > Phoenix

you have no idea what you're talking about.

Daytime is out of the question.

[Jakedeez]

They were on the Main stage in 06, i believe before Massive Attack. Why wouldn't they be on Main stage now 7 years later. They have a big stage production, i think too big for Outdoor

[deegee]

i seriously can't wait for this performance man.. so excited
