Eivør delivered a breathtaking, spellbinding performance that held the room in thrall for ninety minutes, carrying everyone into a world of magic, nature, darkness and light. She folded Nordic folk, electronica, synth pop, metal, new wave and cinematic textures into a seamless whole, compositions rich in harmony and texture yet immediate in impact, all driven by an agile voice that swept listeners through a maelstrom of feeling. The set centered on her 2024 album ENN but reached back to early recordings and included music she wrote for the series The Last Kingdom. She welcomed her sister Elinborg for a song from ENN and brought Ásgeir back for a striking duet on Pink Floyd’s "Us and Them." It was a performance where time seemed to pause, leaving a vivid afterglow long after the final note.
