Björk concert chronology |
The Vulnicura tour was the eighth concert tour by Icelandic musician Björk. The tour centered on her critically acclaimed 2015 album Vulnicura which chronicled the singer's breakup with American contemporary artist Matthew Barney.
The first half of each show featured the first six songs from the album, performed uninterrupted. Following an intermission, Björk returned to the stage to perform a collection of songs from her past, newly rearranged to take advantage of the 15 strings players, percussionist and hang drum player Manu Delago, and Arca on electronics. On festival dates The Haxan Cloak performed on electronics, debuting his remix of "Mouth Mantra" at the Governor's Ball in New York.
To date the Vulnicura tour remains the second Björk concert not to receive a corresponding DVD release, following the Greatest Hits tour in 2003. None of the 27 concerts are known to have been professionally filmed but a concert in Iceland on 8 November 2016 was, though no plans have been announced for a home video release or TV broadcast.
