Tickets for the November 3 show at the Tbilisi Concert Hall venue were sold out days following the announcement of the celebrated artist's tour to Georgia.

The October 31 appearance at the Opera and Ballet Theatre is still available for attendance, with tickets on sale through the tkt.ge website.

On her first visit to Georgia, the multiple MTV Video Music Awards- and BRIT Awards-winning artist will perform at the two venues with the string musicians of Georgia’s Philharmonic Orchestra.

The shows will take place as part of the second edition of the Stream of Unconsciousness (SOU) Festival, which opened in Tbilisi earlier this year.

While in Georgia, Björk will also learn about national and ethnic music in the country by travelling to regions including the mountainous Svaneti, western subtropical Guria and the winemaking province of Kakheti.
