The unexpected weather added to the excitement (at least for those dressed properly), turning the concert into a winter wonderland and making SOFI TUKKER’s performance even more memorable.

The elaborate choreography and energetic movement across the stage captivated the audience, adding a unique visual element to the already stunning performance. While a departure from their famed WET TENNIS tour-era stage, their production still enthralled those who played witness.
