Björk Announces Revival of Cornucopia Concert Tour and Theatrical Production
Icelandic artist and icon Björk announced that she will continue her Cornucopia world tour in 2023 with a series of arena shows across Southern Europe, Australia, Japan and the U.S.
Cornucopia debuted in 2019 as the tenth concert tour and first theatrical production by Björk. It was rolled out over eight non-consecutive days at Manhattan’s The Shed culture center, marking one of the first shows performed at the venue, which opened in April of that year. The project showcased her studio album Utopia. For the production, Björk experimented as much with staging as she did with sound with shows featuring live support from the flute group Viibra and a 50-person choir, as well as dynamic digital and analog visuals.
In a statement, Björk shared her intentions for the future of the production. She wrote,“cornucopia was always intended to be a world for both Utopia and the album after that, which is now out there called Fossora [released Sept. 30, 2022]…. so i am truly excited to premier those 2 worlds colliding, this autumn in southern Europe.”
The 2023 iteration of Cornucopia will premiere in March with a four-show residency in Perth, Australia, followed by orchestral performances in Japan. Björk is also slated to perform an orchestral show on Coachella’s festival stage in April.
The official tour will begin in Lisbon, Portugal, on Sept. 1 and will include performances in Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic, Austria, Poland, Germany, and Switzerland. The concert series will conclude back in France on Dec. 5.
