Ólafur Arnalds Announces Falling Apart Together World Tour
The award-winning artist, composer, and producer will bring his immersive live show to Europe and North America.
Ólafur Arnalds is about to have people all around the globe Falling Apart Together. The award-winning artist, composer, and producer has announced plans to bring his immersive live show Falling Apart Together to both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, with 19 shows spread out across Europe and North America.
Arnalds, a native of Mosfellsbær, Iceland, is world-renowned for his mixture of classical and electronic elements, infusing his hybrid sounds with a dynamism that stems back to his time as a metal and hardcore drummer. He calls the high-concept, high-tech Falling Apart Together “an attempt at dismantling the distance between us. A concert hybrid that reveals the layers we construct in order to feel safe, the moments in which those layers tremble and the sense of intimacy and shared humanity that emerges when we allow ourselves to be exposed.”
