Hotels for Sigur Rós with The Scottish Chamber Orchestra & Chorus

An orchestral and choral reworking of a catalogue built on slow builds and glacial swells, with strings and voices filling in the space usually left to reverb. Expect the quieter, more atmospheric corners of the band's music to carry the evening rather than the percussive climaxes. A midweek early start suggests a long programme, so the night has the shape of a concert hall performance rather than a standard rock gig. The pairing of a chamber orchestra and chorus with this kind of material rewards close listening more than movement.

A landmark of Glasgow's Clydeside, the OVO Hydro is one of the world's busiest arenas, its glowing dome hosting global music tours, comedy and sport beside the SEC campus and the river. The surrounding area is modern and purpose-built, with riverside walks and the Finnieston district's celebrated bars and restaurants close by.

Exhibition Centre station sits right alongside, linking quickly into the city centre. Booking a room in Finnieston or the centre lets you dine well before a show and walk or train back easily.
