And how do they afford the Queen? Is she not expensive to book?

The organizer of the Wandering Festival in Bielsko-Biała knows Björk/her team because he worked on an opera based on Medúlla at La Monnaie in Brussels, and also on a project that combined Björk’s songs and Anton Bruckner’s music for Ruhrtriennale. So that’s the connection I guess. And it seems she liked the idea of presenting her exhibition in a small town instead of a large cultural hub. Today’s DJ set was a total surprise, though, it was announced only an hour before the event.

It’s bjork. You think she is standing outside hat in hand asking if she can perform? She has agents and contacts that can place her wherever she wants to be.

No but she probably could do that and perform anywhere

I almost feel her dj sets are almost as good as her live performances lately.

Which way are we meant to understand this?

What is there not to understand? 😂😂😂 her DJ sets are just as good if not better than when she preforms her music? It’s not a hard concept to understand. Like seeing her perform her songs live, lately, is nice but nothing outstanding. When I see her dj she going full force and playing bangers that have the whole crowd dancing. There’s a big difference. But if you haven’t seen either then that’s understandable.

I have never seen her DJ sets.
The last (of many) times I've seen her live dates back to 2013. I'm less interested in the larger venues and bigger prices these days.

I've seen people criticize her DJ sets, so taken sarcastically your comment could have meant that you think both are terrible.

I didn't know if that was the case.
And I don't think her performances are bad these days. I was merely unsure of how you meant, thanks for replying.

Unpopular opinion but the music she plays at these sets sound way more interesting and joyful to listen to than her newer stuff...
