Bjork Comes Back to North America This Fall

Will that Björk ever quit? We sure hope not! Following tours and new albums and singles alike, you'd think she'd wanna take a nap or hang out with her kids or something. Not our Björk, though; when it comes to her public, she just gives and gives. And it's a good thing, too, 'cuz from her, we'll gladly just take and take.

She's added a few North American dates to her continuing trek in support of the colorful Volta. Atlanta, Detroit, Montreal, and New York, you're in luck. But don't you weep, continent: we have a feeling there are more dates on the way.

09-11 Detroit, MI - Fox Theatre
09-14 Austin, TX - Zilker Park (Austin City Limits Festival)
09-17 Atlanta, GA - Fox Theatre

what that it's ?!?

that's a mini tour - I mean damn when was she ever in the DC Baltimore area?

Detroit? No Las Vegas. What an abomination.

Guess Las Vegans will have to continue traveling to music festivals to catch acts.

E

There will be more dates.

My questions:

How much? (as if it matters )

When do they go on sale?

Come back to L.A., Bjork, we miss you!

You've had her enough! Give the rest of us a turn.

I only got to see her once.

Montreal is in Quebec.

I only got to see her ZERO.

"Will Bjork ever quit"

Puh-leeezzz

Apparenty, she quit touring most of North America!! WTF!!

I don't want to drive 8 hours to see her play 30 minutes at some fuckin' hippie/alternative music fest and I can't make it to Europe. So I guess I'm screwed. Hopefully she'll add LA but I'm not holding my breath.

Was she assaulted in LA? Why does she keep giving us The Finger? You can't skip LA. I mean you can skip MI, Washington DC, and most of Canada but not LA.

I have only seen her in concert once as well, and that was at UK's Reading Music Festival in 1995

You're getting the Spice Girls, you have to no right to complain about anything ever again!

I'm curious to know why Bjork never comes to Washington DC.

I've never been able to see Bjork in concert and I hate that. Her only Texas show is in Austin at an all-day festival. I won't be able to go to an all-day festival due ot other responsibilities. I hope she adds a Dallas show that I can attend.

Florida gets the hate too. Atlanta's a good 8 or 9 hours from here.

I'm going to try and see Bjork in Toronto but I hope she makes a stop in the midwest since I'll be moving there next month.

I've seen her 3 times, first was the Post Tour. Awesome.
At Axis in Boston, either axis or Avalon, can't remember.

She just came through SF, but played at the shitty shoreline so I boycotted her!

"You're getting the Spice Girls, you have to no right to complain about anything ever again!"

WTF!!! I hope it's for an extended stay at Caesar's Palace or something.

Picked up tix for Detroit this morning. Stage left, front row. Not bad at the $50.00 price point.

I'm mildly annoyed there aren't more North East shows that aren't festivals - and I refuse to see anything on Toronto Island again after, ironically, seeing Bjork there in 2002. What a nightmare it was to get off afterwards.

However, considering "Volta" hasn't really warmed for me and the setlists and live stuff I've heard from this tour have been a bit underwhelming, I guess I'm not too disappointed to have to pass. Besides, the 2002 show - despite venue issues - is as good as modern-day Bjork is gonna get I've got a feeling, so I'm bound to be disappointed anyways.

Such is life.
