Sigur Ros perform at Bestival 2012
UK fans' only chance to see the band so far this year was their performance at Bestival, on the Isle of White, where the band were dismayed to have their night time slot pushed into daylight hours.
The band were so upset with the perfomance, which they described as 'miserable' that they issues a statement of apology to fans.
