Of Monsters And Men (Out-Store Gig)

Tickets on sale from 5pm, Wednesday 13th August.

PLEASE READ: These exclusive fan shows are set up to help artists get more visibility and boost their sales during their album release week. Getting a great chart position can really help an artist get future gigs, promotions, and overall success. We want to help the artists we work with hit the highest chart position possible and the more albums we sell, the better their chart position, and the more awesome events we can put together in the future.

If you choose the Ticket Only* option when booking for this show (which we have to offer to follow chart rules), you’ll still get into the show and have a great time. But just so you know, you won’t be helping the artist’s album campaign or boosting their chart position. So, we really encourage you to grab an album bundle instead of just a ticket. Every album counts, and each one helps the artist reach their goals. Show your support—be an awesome fan by picking up an album bundle for just a little bit extra.

*PLEASE NOTE: 'Ticket Only' is limited to one purchase per household, multiple orders of Ticket Only option will unfortunately be cancelled. Please choose from the multiple album/ticket bundles which enable you to buy more than one ticket with a CD or vinyl album.

Albums will be available to collect from store, on or after release date, Friday 17th October.

“All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade”. It may sound a little strange, but the title and beating heart of Icelandic indie-folk collective Of Monsters And Men’s fourth album hits a lot closer to home than you’d expect. A tapestry of stories, moments, and conversations, the album explores how love and pain intertwine. Feelings that might seem at odds with each other, but co-exist simultaneously and need one another. Tales both big and small — from the loneliness and longing of living in a block surrounded by strangers, to missed connections in a grocery store, to the lives and losses of a community of mice in a vacant house during winter.

Of Monsters And Men went from Reykjavík to the global stage with their breakout 2011 debut My Head Is An Animal, which propelled them from Icelandic indie darlings to international chart-toppers. The album’s breakout single “Little Talks,” a defining song for a generation, now boasts over 1 billion Spotify streams.  Amid their meteoric rise, the band released their sophomore album Beneath The Skin in 2015, which debuted in the Top 3 of the Billboard 200 and was accompanied by a surprise cameo on HBO’s huge hit series Game of Thrones. Their cinematic sound has popped up everywhere from The Hunger Games to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, while their festival appearances — Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, and more Over a decade in, the band have gone from folk-tinged newcomers to digital-era mainstays, with 9 million monthly listeners on Spotify and a new generation discovering that Iceland’s beauty extends beyond fjords and thermal baths.

Out-store shows are amazing opportunities for fans to see their favourite artists play a more intimate show. This may be acoustic or stripped back and may be shorter than a normal gig.

Timings will be confirmed nearer the time of the show.
