This unexpected addition introduced a unique edge to the show and showcased Sofi Tukker’s flair for creating one-of-a-kind experiences for their fans.
Throughout the night, Sofi Tukker’s setlist seamlessly wove between upbeat dance tracks and more mellow, reflective moments, allowing fans to experience the full range of their music.

Their undeniable chemistry resulted in an electrifying and intimate performance, drawing everyone in attendance into their world.
As the show approached its conclusion, they played “Purple Hat” with a delightful drum and bass twist that surely delivered.
