Björk announces global cinema release of Cornucopia concert film
ADVERTISEMENT Icelandic wonder Björk has announced that her new concert film Cornucopia will be getting a 'limited release' in theatres globally. The upcoming release, in collaboration with Mercury Studios, is described as capturing the magic of the singer's most elaborate live performance to date. The theatre release has a run time of 1h39, and also comes with an additional screening of three music videos – each curated by the iconic Icelandic singer. It will be available in approximately 500 cinemas in over 25 countries on 7 May – including Germany, UK, Denmark, Sweden and the US. Spain will get the release on 8 May, while France's date is set for 11 May. Voir cette publication sur Instagram Une publication partagée par Björk (@bjork) 'The Cornucopia concert film offers a rare opportunity to experience the full magic of the original show in stunning 4K and Dolby Atmos in a cinematic environment, making it an unmissable event for both dedicated fans and newcomers alike,' reads a press release. The Cornucopia concert tour, based on Björk's studio albums 'Utopia' (2017) and later 'Fossora' (2022), ran from May 2019 to December 2023 and was comprised of 45 shows across North America, Europe, Oceania and Asia. It was a music and theatre hybrid, featuring direction from acclaimed Argentine filmmaker Lucretia Martel. Amy Freshwater, VP Content Acquisition Mercury Studios said: 'Experiencing a visual performer's concert on the cinema screen isn't just watching a show – it's immersing yourself in the full scale of their artistry in the way Björk intended when designing the spectacle of 'Cornucopia'." Björk AP Photo Elsewhere, Björk went on the record to state that Spotify 'is probably the worst thing that has happened to musicians.' Speaking to Swedish outlet Dagens Nyheter, the Icelandic artist recently discussed her preference for creating new music over touring . 'The live part is, and always will be, a big part of what I do,' she said, adding: 'I'm lucky because I no longer have to raise money on touring, which younger musicians are often forced to do.' 'In that respect,' she continued, 'Spotify is probably the worst thing that has happened to musicians. The streaming culture has changed an entire society and an entire generation of artists.' It isn't the first time that Björk has been critical of streaming platforms, and even refused for her album 'Vulnicura' to be released on Spotify in 2015. 'Vulnicura' turned 10 in January. In our Album Anniversary review from January, we said: 'Anyone who's been through heartbreak can attest that it's not pretty. Healing is never easy, and it isn't a quick process. However, in Björk's hands, sentimental anguish can be beautiful.' You can read the full review here . Björk's second album, 'Post', turns 30 in June 2025.
