Thank you to the Icelandic Tourist Board for always keeping me so well informed: The good people at National Geographic are webcasting this Saturday's (June 28) concert with Bjork on their website from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET (begins at 8 p.m. BST/London or 7 p.m. GMT/Reykjavik). Fans can see concert only at: worldmusic.nationalgeographic.com
National Geographic Music, will Webcast the open-air Náttúra concert live from Iceland on Saturday, June 28, 2008. Two of the world's most important and visionary musical entities, Björk and Sigur Rós, will headline the free concert.
To be held in a large park near the center of Reykjavik, all of the performances will be during daylight, with Iceland’s capital city and dramatic rolling scenery providing a perfect backdrop to what is expected to be one of the biggest concerts the country has seen. The Náttúra concert looks to raise awareness of the impact of the growing aluminum smelting activity on Iceland’s natural landscape.
“One of National Geographic Music’s main goals is to offer artists and experts who care about global culture and the environment an outlet to create awareness for important issues. Spotlighting these amazing artists performing live in a spectacular backdrop allows our worldwide audience to enjoy great music and become aware of Iceland’s environmental concerns and join the conversation,” said David Beal, president of National Geographic Entertainment.
Takk fyrir (thank you) National Geographic!
Not sure I'll actually be able to see any of it because of band practice all day Saturday, but still!
For all Icelanders' supposed stoicism, they sure know how to rock a concert. I'm so excited to be seeing Sigur Rós at the Greek Theatre this October. I've said it a million times, but seeing them is a religious experience. It's like being lifted out of your body and becoming music itself for two hours.
Also, Noah seems to be down for showing Heima on his projector one of these days. Really, if you haven't seen it, you should.
