Sigur Ros at Prospect Park in July (more by Amanda Hatfield)

SIgur Ros made a triumphant return this year after a four-year hiatus with a great new album, Valtari, and an equally great return to the live stage on their tour which brought them to Prospect Park in July. Now the band have announced that they’ll be back in North America next year for their largest headlining tour to date, including what is by far their largest NYC show ever at Madison Square Garden on March 25, 2013! Tickets for the show go on sale Friday (11/16) at 9 AM with a fan presale starting Wednesday (11/14) at 10 AM. All dates on the tour, which looks like it might hit Coachella, are listed below.

Sigur Ros recently played a new song, “Brennisteinn,” at Iceland Airwaves, which you can watch a video of below.

Meanwhile, Nowness also premiered a film for the title track off Valtari today (11/12) which you can watch below. It’s part of the band’s Mystery FIlm Experiment and was directed by Christian Larson with choreography by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui.

As mentioned, their Mystery Film Experiment is screening worldwide soon and NYC will get their screening on December 7-9 at TBA location. Tickets are still on sale, however.

A list of all dates and both of those videos are below.
