Robyn in Chicago

Robyn is a Swedish singer, songwriter and producer born in Stockholm in 1979. She makes electronic pop and dance music, and first found an international audience with “Show Me Love.” Her best-known recordings also include “With Every Heartbeat,” “Dancing on My Own” and “Call Your Girlfriend,” while Body Talk and Honey are central albums in her catalogue. The All Hearts Tour paired Robyn with Kelis across North America in 2010. She later toured with Röyksopp behind their collaborative release Do It Again in 2014, then returned to major theatres and arenas on the Honey Tour in 2019, including Madison Square Garden in New York and Alexandra Palace in London. Her festival appearances beyond Sweden have included Coachella in California and Glastonbury in England.

Peaches is the stage name of Canadian electronic musician and performance artist Merrill Nisker, who was born in Toronto and became closely associated with Berlin’s electroclash scene. Her stripped-down electronic beats, punk delivery and sexually explicit writing reached a wide audience through the album The Teaches of Peaches and the song “Fuck the Pain Away”; later releases include Fatherfucker, Impeach My Bush and Rub. In 2022, Peaches mounted The Teaches of Peaches Anniversary Tour, revisiting the record that established her solo work. The production travelled through North America and Europe and reached London’s Royal Festival Hall, where Peaches performed with musicians and dancers as part of the album’s anniversary celebration.
