My post from 6 years ago above just made me realize there hasn’t been a Bjork live release in almost a decade, which is a very long time for her.

And it’s not like she’s been keeping away from the stage; there was the Vulnicura Strings tour back in 2016/17, which featured—you guessed it—acoustic performances of songs from Vulnicura. Then there was the original Utopia tour, just a short run of European festival dates in 2018, probably cut short due to the death of her mother. Afterwards came Cornucopia in 2019, sort of expanding and improving on the utopian ideas, initially staged in New York, Mexico, the UK and northern Europe, and then put on hold due to Covid. Then, during the pandemic, she started the Orkestral tour, first as one-off streamable concerts in Iceland performed with local musicians, then morphing it into sort of a Vulnicura Strings redux, but focused more on the back catalogue—which after the world opened up toured intermittently alongside a new version of Cornucopia, updated with tracks from Fossora and adapted for larger arenas.

The word on the street is that a concert film of Cornucopia will be released later this year so perhaps a live album as well.
