Citadel confirm first headliner for 2016 festival – access the presale

Sigur Rós will headline Citadel 2016, with the festival returning to London’s Victoria Park on Sunday 17 July.

This marks one of only two UK shows for the Icelandic trio in 2016, seeing them bring their stunning brand of majestic post-rock to the one-day event next summer.

“We are pleased to announce that we are playing Citadel next summer,” the band said. “In the spirit of adventure, all we can say right now is it’s going to be different. In addition to playing all the songs you know and love, there will be new unreleased songs, a new show and more… Trust us on this one.”

We're very excited to begin the next chapter of #Citadel16 with the announcement of our headliner, @sigurros… pic.twitter.com/9NO0rkwzLh
