Björk and Sigur Rós Team Up For Náttúra Concert
Icelandic Show To Be Webcast Live On Nat Geo Music

06/23/08

On June 28th, 2008 Icelandic superstars Björk and Sigur Ró
s (pictured) will team up to perform a free concert in
their hometown of Reykjavik. The Náttúra concert is a bid
to raise awareness of the destruction of Iceland's natural
landscape, and will be webcast live from from 7pm to 12pm
GMT (3pm—8pm EST) on Nat Geo Music.

The Náttúra concert will be an open-air event, held at
the Botanical Garden on Laugavegur, near the center of
Reykjavik, Iceland. The country boasts the largest unspoilt
wilderness left in Europe, and Náttúra is being organized
as a response to the ongoing environmental degradation
caused by Iceland's increasingly invasive aluminium
smelting activity.

"Too often battles being fought for nature turn into
something negative and into mudslinging," Björk said in a
recent press statement. "We will not go that way, we are
not saying that this and that is forbidden, we are rather
asking 'what about all these other possibilities?' The 21st
century is not going to be another oil century but rather a
century where we need to recycle, think green and design
both power plants and our surroundings in harmony with
nature."

The Náttúra concert will also spotlight the book
Dreamland: A Self-Help Manual to a Frightened Nation by
Andri Snær Magnason. The book, a best-seller in Iceland,
is published in English next month by Citizen Press and has
already won the Icelandic Literary Award and the Icelandic
Bookseller Prize.

Both headlining artists have recently finished a series of
touring commitments, with Sigur Rós releasing their brand
new album 'Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust' on
June 23 and Björk following 2007's 'Volta' with a huge
worldwide tour.

Last year, Björk released the Grammy-nominated Volta, her
sixth studio album. Sigur Rós will release Með suð í
 eyrum við spilum endalaust, their fifth full-length
album, on June 23rd.
