Sigur Rós announce the ultimate U.S. leg of their globe-spanning tour, which will consist of a final, 20-show run including a stop at the Fabulous Fox Theatre Tuesday, October 1 at 8pm. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 14 at 10am at the Fox Box Office, online at metrotix.com or by calling (314) 534-1111. Ticket prices are $55.00, $39.50, & $29.50.

The tour began a year ago on the East Coast trailing the release of the band's sixth studio album Valtari, and will continue following next week's release of its hard-rocking successor, Kveikur (out June 18th). This tour will reach deep into America, and will see Sigur Rós play the biggest shows of their career in some of the country's most renowned venues, which included NYC's Madison Square Garden earlier this year. Sigur Rós' acclaimed live show is not to be missed, and can be seen for the final time in the U.S. during their tour this fall - when it's done, it's done.

Starting today, you can stream Kveikur, the band's first release on XL Recordings worldwide, in its entirety via Amazon.com. The Icelandic three-piece - Jón Þór Birgisson, Georg Holm and Orri Páll Dýrason - have already given us a taste of the new album on the American late-night circuit, performing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Sigur Rós also made a special guest appearance and scored part of the season finale episode of The Simpsons. For more information, visit sigur-ros.co.uk
