[judaschrist]

One of the most influential and ground-breaking musicians of all time, Björk, joins us at bluedot 2020 for a very special festival exclusive set. She will close the festival with a uniquely commissioned performance alongside Manchester’s famed Hallé Orchestra featuring incredible bespoke projections on the Lovell Telescope.

[epicurus]

It’s a uk exclusive, so there might be other options outside of the uk?

I wonder if it will be a new piece Bjork composed and not a traditional concert. Very excited about some new news regardless!

i think it's both

[Me]

i am so excited about this!!!

I am moving back to the uk soon, so it will be a great opportunity.

[batsounds]

i will record the whole concert and share it with the ones here who will not make it

by the way : she hinted on this with the sister city hotel project in nyc with all that opening of her choral arrangements archives so my question is ... anyone who've been there could share the songs played ? it could mean potential songs to this cheshire gig's setlist ! ! !

i guess i read it somewhere songs like thunderbolt and where is the line get played that could mean she can bring them back

also : this project could mean the end of cornucopia's tour and start of something new ? because if not : this would be the first cornucopia outdoor gig

last not least : i joked about 808 state inviting her to sing ooops or qmart live when they get a chance and they liked my comment

just for the record : 808 state will perform at the bluedot festival too

(the dreamer in me haha)

[tellthemstories]

it could mean potential songs to this london gig's setlist ! ! !

just to clarify, this is not in london. it's in cheshire in the north of england

[arucinluv]

also : this project could mean the end of cornucopia's tour and start of something new ? because if not : this would be the first cornucopia outdoor gig

my guess is that it's going to be an one-off show like coachella in 2002, or maybe a mini tour throughout this year cuz, you know, a girl gotta get her coinzz

I laughed so hard at this ! ! ! when I read the news I instantly remembered the mini Vulnicura strings tour but I am really anticipating it because we could be about to see björk’s first gig with a full orchestra (if I’m not mistaken)

Very daring for her to perform classical music at an electronic festival

Ps. If there is anyone familiar with the halle orchestra’s work please let us know

[batsounds]

Now imagine this with bjork on stage :

I'm really excited to hear Bjork work with a full orchestra. Her composing and arranging skills have been really terrific from Medulla onwards with strings, choir, and brass (plus flutes) so I can only imagine when she has an entire orchestra at her disposal.

I wonder if this means a new project is upcoming or if this is another live iteration of Utopia...

[batsounds]

anyone thinks she will explore her scores book for the cheshire gig ? cause i do .

the dreamer in me crazy about a new world live debut and an orchestral version of declare independence and in my dreams she opens the concert with a full-on orchestrated gratitude

vespertine tour was with full orchestra, but yes this is very exciting

[batsounds]

I should have typed ‘full orchestra only’ haha because the vespertine tour was electro-acoustic (matmos)

Do you understand how excited I am ? Lol

[batsounds]

to celebrate bjork's upcoming cheshire gig with the the halle orchestra : here i ( tried to ) selected a few full orchestra-only songs performed during the vespertine tour :

[Simontreal]

I would like to here utopia songs with strings instead of flutes.

In 2007, at the volta tour, to hear string songs with brass was so exciting !

(and of course, she should record all those rehearsals and potential shows !)

[batsounds]

Turning utopia’s arrangements into strings will be very interesting indeed : then please bring :saint: back

[vos]

has anybody ever visited this festial. me and my husband are thinking of going on sunday (we are from belgium).

how many people are visiting this festival? wikipeadia says 15000.

many thanks !!

[epicurus]

I wonder when the day tickets are available. I want to fly over from belgium but not for 3 days

not to be that bitch but this is literally a dream with every letter.... her voice is getting worse and deeper every year and nowadays she sings the same songs basically (the anchor song, pleasure is all mine, isobel...). but i would love me sum 'play dead'.

realistically we're going to get 17-19 songs, some from utopia & some 'hits' like hyperballad and bachelorette (an octave lowered). definitely 'the anchor song' and 'isobel', i can vouch for that.

[odduck]

So exciting!

no need to be rude to her aging voice. Yea, she doesn’t sound like she did in the 90s, but saying her voice gets ‘worse’ only highlights your opinion. I happen to love the vocal aging. And it’s no way near an octave lower, at most I think aifol was lowered from C# to b, one full step. Stop exaggerating. Voices age. Learn to love it. Its beautiful.

We seldom talk about her new low register, new notes she’s able to reach that she hasn’t before. So there’s loss, but also gain. Ok end rant love yall

i meant worse because its so obvious that the place she is currently isnt exactly how she wanted it to be...

[Animal]

I saw her live a few months ago and her voice was extremely strong, both the high and the low notes & her screams were much more powerful and supported than during the volta and biophilia concerts I saw

i am excited to hear how she will sound this summer

[Mike K]

Does anyone have any idea when the day tickets go on sale??

[odduck]

24 July 2022, orchestral with special visuals

https://www.nme.com/news/music/bjork-wi ... 22-3034941

She’ll be joined by The Hallé Orchestra for her performance at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Jodrell Bank Observatory. The show will also feature a unique visual display as video and animation is projected onto the iconic, 76-metre wide Lovell Telescope.

of course... because someone apart from her knows where she wants to be...
