A new chapter is on the horizon for the highly influential electronic duo Kiasmos.

Consisting of longtime friends and collaborators Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen, their seminal self-titled debut album was released to critical acclaim in 2014, followed by a series of EPs which have since continued to find fans all around the world. Blending minimalist techno with neoclassical textures and ambient soundscapes, Kiasmos carved out a unique space in electronic music; emotive, immersive, and deeply human.

Beyond Kiasmos, Arnalds has become one of contemporary music’s most celebrated composers, earning Grammy and Emmy nominations and winning a BAFTA for his score on the hit series Broadchurch. His genre-defying approach to piano, strings, and electronics has seen him perform on major stages worldwide, including a lauded Tiny Desk concert for NPR.

Now, after more than five years away from the stage, 2025 marks Kiasmos' long-awaited return to live performance, reigniting excitement among longtime followers and new fans alike.

Making their New Zealand debut at Auckland’s Powerstation on July 22nd, the Icelandic-Faroese duo will perform music from their critically lauded 2024 release II; a stunning follow-up that builds on the cinematic beauty of their debut while exploring new sonic terrain. Don’t miss this rare chance to witness one of electronic music’s most cherished live acts in a spellbinding evening of sound and emotion.
