On the Iceland Airwaves web page Björk is described as a rare artist – a true original, a non-conformist with wide appeal, an extraordinary genre-busting musical individual who speaks to the heart, the head and the feet.

"She is the quintessential modern musician, ceaselessly innovating, and completely multidimensional in the way she uses performance, technology, fashion, video and art to complement her music."

Björk recently released her eighth studio album, Vulnicura, written, produced and recorded in collaboration with Venezuelan producer Arca and British musician The Haxan Cloak with string arrangements by Björk.

Iceland Airwaves will kick off November 4th and close at November 8th.

The first Iceland Airwaves show was held in 1999 as a one-off event in an airplane hangar at Reykjavík Airport. Today, thousands come to visit Iceland, specifically to attend the festival.
