Icelandic musician Asgeir will play an over 18’s headline show in The Sugar Club on Friday the 11th of April.
Last year, at just 20 years of age the singer-songwriter became an overnight sensation in his domestic music scene with the September release of Dyrd í dauðathognbreaking all records to become Iceland’s fastest selling debut album by a home-grown artist – staggeringly, almost 10% of the Icelandic population now own the album.
2013 has been good for Ásgeir as he gets closer to the worldwide release next year of the English language version of his debut, In The Silence. In February he was presented with four Iceland Music Awards and nominated for the Nordic Music Prize on the eve of Dyrd í dauðathogn‘s wider release in the Nordic countries. He appeared at Sonar and by:Larm festivals the same month before making his US debut, including two appearances at SXSW in March. May saw his first exposure to UK audiences, playing support to John Grant (who was also responsible for the English translation of the lyrics).
Tickets €16 including booking fee on sale now from Ticketmaster. Ásgeir’s debut Album ‘In The Silence’ released via One Little Indian, 24 January 2014
