Björk Transforms Touring with Mini-Residencies

Icelandic musician Björk has transformed her touring approach since the release of her 2011 album 'Biophilia', opting for mini-residencies that allow for more personal and downtime. She emphasizes the need for flexibility in her schedule, stating that this change has been influenced by her desire to create a healthier work-life balance for herself and her crew. Björk expressed her resistance to the traditional, grueling touring model, aiming for a more accommodating environment where artists can maintain personal lives. Her recent 'Cornucopia' tour showcased this vision with an elaborate production featuring 27 screens and immersive visuals, running from 2019 to 2023. In addition to her touring innovations, she recently released 'Cornucopia: The Book', documenting the tour and her artistic journey. Björk's shift reflects broader changes in the music industry towards more sustainable touring practices.
