The almost godlike Bjork will be playing a benefit show at the tiny Housing Works (300 capacity)–with Dirty Projectors!–on May 8. Tickets are expensive (cheapest is $100), but it is a benefit concert. You can get tickets online now or after 4/1, “physical tickets will be available at the Housing Works bookstore on Crosby Street as well as a couple Brooklyn locations TBA.” Here’s a description of the show from the Housing Works site:

In a never before seen or heard collaboration with The Dirty Projectors, Björk will perform a suite of new music composed for her by David Longstreth of The Dirty Projectors. The suite, written for five voices, will pair Björk with the Projectors (Dave Longstreth, Amber Coffman, Angel Deradoorian, and Haley Dekle).

Dirty Projectors have been added as the opening band for the TV on the Radio show at Summerstage on June 5, and are playing the Dark Was the Night concert at Radio City Music Hall on May 3 with Feist, The National, My Brightest Diamond, Dave Sitek (of TV on the Radio), Sharon Jones, and the recently added Bon Iver.
