 Björk's touring band for this tour consisted of drummer Chris Corsano, musician Mark Bell (who also accompanied Björk on the Homogenic tour), pianist Jónas Sen (who played celeste on the tracks Gratitude and Cetacea on the "Drawing Restraint 9" soundtrack), musician Damian Taylor and a 10 piece female Icelandic brass section.Björk had described the tour as "kind of primitive, raw, almost butch", in marked contrast to her 2001 tour for "Vespertine".At several of the concerts Björk had been joined on stage by some of the musicians who collaborated on the album (but who are not part of the touring band), including ANOHNI, Min Xiao-Fen and Toumani Diabaté.
