This is the first performance of Björk in a while, and only concert in Iceland for two years, according to the artist.

Björk told the local news siste Vísir that she would not be able to add any further concert dates in Reykjavík this time around. Which means the April 9 concert is the absolute last opportunity to see Björk perform in her native Reykjavík during this decade: Next time she will be playing in Iceland will be in 2020.

Björk's two Reykjavík concerts are a debut of her upcoming world tour for her latest record Utopia, her tenth solo album.
