" my most elaborate stage concert yet, where the acoustic and digital will shake hands"

i neeeed to see this

[tofu]

Omg. Please let it be filmed

[Erik]

Im already planning a March nyc trip so hopefully that works out!

[jp4151]

I'm also curious how this show will differ from the utopia tour in terms of setlist, if at all. This is very exciting news!

[jp4151]

I was planning a March trip to Boston. Luckily I haven't purchased any tickets yet so I will hold off until the dates are announced. I hoping early March so I can still so my family events and see this show once or twice...

[epicurus]

Woow ... look at this: https://youtu.be/KX_odXZqHIY

[arucinluv]

utopia tour was already amazing in terms of visuals so this is going to be huge. i only wish that she puts more old songs in the setlist

btw, this pic is way better than the og album cover

[elemikpl]

Omg! i need to go, like i must go!!!

[travieso]

I've been excited to see the shed be built since I heard about it a couple of years ago. even more so now! My guess is that even if this is filmed, it will not be released since the work is a commission by the shed. I bet this will not premiere until early May and that it will somehow involve 3d mapping of the space to project digital manifestations of the utopia environment in the space.

[DrBenway12]

I just hope the tickets don't get snagged immediately. I flew to NYC for her concerts for vulnicura I'll do it again as long as I get a hold of the tickets haha

[travieso]

the website says members get Advance access to tickets before general sale and becoming a member only costs $10. I went ahead and did it. even if I don't wind up going it's cheap enough and nice to support anyways.

[tellthemstories]

that venue looks incredible!!!

[borsijb]

i really hope nyctaper (or some other "professional" bootlegger) will be going to the concert. It would be nice to have at least 1 high quality bootleg this era.

Really interesting what cornucopia will be. Choosing an extra title for a concert is a first, or ??

[cowboy]

But what cornucopia means?
Maybe this will be a title for a release too ala voltaïc?

[ultramarine]

let's see if i'll be able to get tickets for this

[vincovinco]

But what cornucopia means?

the cornucopia is a mythological symbol for fortune and abundance used in ancient greece/rome.
today we still use this symbol,particularly in naples because of its greek origins
it fits very well with the utopia theme

cornucopia = horn of plenty

(latin: cornu = horn, also ancient wind instrument // copia = supply, luxuriance, prosperity)

[odduck]

I hope the strap on will make a comeback!

It is a first for Bjork, but it's quite common for other artists to 'name' their tours separately from the albums. Perhaps this time they're giving the performances a new name and branding because by the time the concerts happen it will have been about 1.5 year since the album was released?

I wouldn't expect big musical surprises (the backing band is the same and the 'elaborate' setting will possibly limit possible setlist variations) but I'm sure the visual aspect of the show will be amazing. Here's hoping a video recording will surface.

will fly for that to nyc

[jp4151]

The viola tour kinda went through a name change to voltaic, at least when it was released on cd/dvd. I get the feeling Cornucopia as a physical package will be closer to voltaic than a traditonal live album.

On a side note, as a completist it would be great to get a utopia live album before cornucopia begins in the spring. Then cornucopia could contain the live dvd and maybe a cd version a la Biophilia live...

I guess it depends on whether Cornucopia is a oneoff or not. Not that it hasn't stopped her in the past, but I suppose she hasn't mentioned whether it's just The Shed or more shows

Nice, yes, i have seen that imagery before

I don't know if it's a one off experience but from the wording it sounds like it's going to a residency-type situation with multiple shows at The Shed. When the Utopia Tour was announced, it was described as a 2 year world tour, so I imagine she'll continue performing Utopia live after The Shed, at least until next summer (late 2020 album release?). I would love it to travel the US and visit our friends in Canada and Mexico, too.

But after whatever Cornucopia is, I would really love for a final evolution of Utopia Live to be a series of acoustic shows. I don't think flutes are as versatile as strings so maybe Viibra could be joined by a cello (for body memory and literally countless other songs). Manu Delago and the Hang would be great as well, or maybe just the harp. Though to be honest when the Utopia Tour was first announced without Katie Buckly I was really excited for all the harp parts on Utopia being done on the Hang...

[humbuk]

mcqueen had a collection called cornucopia

[An Echo, A Stain]

I had a cornucopia fund set aside but I suddenly needed to get a new computer and now that piggy bank is empty... I hope tickets don't get announced before I can save up again!!!!

[Magnetar]

Just received this at the end of the Harvest Festival in Animal Crossing New Leaf.

[perUmbram]

i wonder whether 'spring 2019' will be the next 'very soon' as no dates have been announced yet

[elemikpl]

i want that ticket under my christmas tree...this year

[jp4151]

i want that ticket under my christmas tree...this year

Yeah we are running out of "later this year" time.

I'm planning my trip back home to Boston around the concert but I need dates to start planning

[Erik]

yeah, it's getting kind of late to announce a spring show if you ask me..

[Apex]

guess she´s busy with private life.

we´ll see.

[jotafred]

i still think how this could be more elaborated than biophilia?

[ultramarine]

updates, sort of, from the shed:

We announced more new commissions, including Björk’s Cornucopia, the artist’s first staged concert produced with theater collaborators

[epicurus]

8 shows and joined by a chorus ...

In a first for the innovative multidisciplinary artist, Björk and a team of digital and theatrical collaborators, including Tony Award-winning director John Tiffany, will present a new staged concert of live musical arrangements, digital technology, and stunning visuals. A chorus and cast of musicians will join Björk for this eight-concert engagement in The Shed’s iconic space, The McCourt.

[odduck]

I really hope we get a live stream. Or at the very least the shows will be recorded and released later.

I think Biophilia is most likely the greatest thing has ever done. So I'm here for this, but does the music and theme of utopia require all of this? It's not the epic that vulnicura was and it's not the solid concept piece Biophilia was.

one single contrabass flute would've made the flute concept work musically. Instead all of this is just playing her princess-fantasy schitck that's getting a little tired.

I'm hoping to eat my words and be blown away by substandard music being played really, really well.

I will book my tickets right fücking now if it means hearing Body Memory live

I think she will perform more re-arranged versions of her catalogue rather than exclusively or predominantly Utopia material, otherwise she would have kept the "Utopia Tour/Show/Live" rather than coming up with a new live show concept.

You're right and I'm really intrigued about the back catalogue with this. She's been making us wait to hear a proper revival of aeroplane.
