Björk’s Cornucopia live film is to be broadcast this Friday
Björk’s Cornucopia is broadcast at 7pm PT / 10pm ET US time so 3am Saturday Morning GMT January 25th.
The performance is of Björk doing Cornucopia from Lisbon, a one of a kind digitally animated show with moving curtains, a modern lanterna magica for live music, where 21st-century VR visuals are brought into a 19th-century theatre.
The concert was recorded in Lisbon. The Apple Music Live: Björk setlist was arranged to celebrate Björk’s lifetime of creative innovation – taking fans on a journey through her vivid early-career compositions like ‘Isobel’ and ‘Hidden Place’ up to her ambitious 2017 album Utopia and 2023’s Fossora .
The show’s live-recorded songs will be available after the livestream in Spatial Audio, on Apple Music.

Björk also sits down with Zane Lowe for her first on-camera interview in a decade – to talk about her climate-focused film “Cornucopia,” how she creates her music using technology, working with esteemed biologist Sir David Attenborough, and more. That happens at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET (6pm GMT Irish time)
Talkhouse partnered with Björk, Level Forward and Snowstorm Productions to fund and create the film.
The performance comes on the heels of Björk’s set as a part of Apple Music Live: NYE—which aired on the new Apple Music Club and Apple Music 1 on December 31st.
