Tour Details
The Icelandic artist’s unique, immersive and theatrical shows resumed on the U.S. West Coast in late January and February 2022, with performances at the Shrine in L.A. and Chase Center in San Francisco. The control system and stage package were provided by UK-based Southby Production, based of elements that were used on a previous European arena run, while the main loudspeaker system components were supplied by Eighth Day Sound. The two-hour Cornucopia shows, which began in 2019, are rooted in her 2017 album, Utopia. For the West Coast shows, the team deployed a 180-degree Soundscape system to align with the size of the venues, making use of a new tool, En-Snap, developed through a d&b partnership with Gareth Owen Sound.
