Tickets are on sale now for Sigur Ros' headline show at the 2013 Live From Jodrell Bank series. See below for more details.
The Icelanders will perform in the shadow of the iconic Lovell Telescope on Friday, 30 August 2013 from the Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire.
Sigur Ros enjoyed a fantastic 2012 with a number of festival performances that edged them towards the mainstream map and look to continue that form in 2013.
Elbow have sold out the event in previous years and frontman Guy Garvey has cited the series as one of the most amazing music concerts of the year.
Garvey says of the band's performance: "Jodrell was a dream come true. All the thrills of space exploration for a band of the Star Wars generation, plus some pretty amazing cold war era hardware."

Live From Jodrell Bank is a unique experience that fuses music and science which will see Sigur Ros project visuals onto the famous 76 metre Lovell telescope.
Before the Sigur Ros concert, attendees will be able to visit a number of science workshops and have full access to the Discovery Centre.
Wayne Coyne of Flaming Lips also believes the Live From Jodrell Bank series was an awe inspiring experience, speaking when the band headlined the event.
He said: "To stand here in the symbolic shadow of this great achievement I think is the greatest place to be on all of planet Earth right now."
