Björk will broadcast three concerts live next month in association with Iceland Airwaves Festival, to raise money for the charity of mujeres islandesas Kvennaathvarfio.
The musician will present shows at the Harpa Hall in Reykjavik on 9, 15 and 23 of August. They will appear before a Live audience, which will be allowed under the blocking laws in Iceland.

The first show will see Björk perform with the Hamrahlío Choir, the second with strings from the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, and the third with the brass section of the orchestra and the Viibra flute septet.
Every concert will showcase new instrumental arrangements of songs from its later catalog, and the profits will go to Kvennaathvarfio, a charity that supports women and immigrants from different backgrounds within Iceland.
After the show, organizers will serve food to raise funds for the charity, while live viewers will be invited to donate online.

Björk said the concerts are in honor of “the people most affected by the coronavirus and the Black Lives Matter movement, and to honor how many Icelandic musicians I have worked with over the years.”
Earlier this month, meanwhile, the entire subsequent Björk catalog was put up for sale on Bandcamp, and the proceeds went a Black Lives Matter UK.
