Swedish duo Icona Pop helped start countless dance parties in 2013 with their infectious mix of dance-punk and electro-house. Singles such as "Manners” and “I Love It” (which Pitchfork labeled a Best New Track and peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100) made them an impossible-to-ignore force on the EDM scene. Both tracks were included on their international debut, This Is... Icona Pop, in 2013, which came out on Big Beat Records and debuted at No. 36 on the Billboard 200. Many songs from the album appeared on an earlier self-titled, Swedish-only release in 2012. Icona Pop won legions of more fans in the US by playing to ticket holders on the festival circuit as well as at concerts opening for indie faves Passion Pit and Matt & Kim. Icona Pop is made up of Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo, who grew up in Stockholm and first met at a party in 2009 despite attending the same music school. The two clicked and started collaborating almost immediately.

Tremendous performance with lots of energy and enthusiasm. Light show and song selection were on target.
The concert itself was good--high energy, material from their new album. However, get ready to deal with a crowd full of pushy teenagers who don't understand the concept of personal space or not spilling beer all over you, even if you're towards the back specifically to avoid that. If you're facing the stage, I'd recommend being on the left hand side, otherwise you'll be doused in smoke the entire time from the smoke machine.
Their light show was cool and they sounded incredible!
Huge fan. Energetic crowd. Great performance. Sound quality was below average and it was the shortest set, shy of an hour. Bit disappointed
The girls were awesome - great show, fun music, entertaining and good-quality voices. The opening bands were not that good, but the duo compensated for this and delivered a great show. Also, they were very humble and fun to watch. If you enjoy pop-dance music and jamming to some good beats, these two girls will not disappoint.
Dancing is really cool except when I jump up and down too much like an idiot and hurt myself.
I came ready to dance my butt off and I did! The crowd was disappointing - a bunch of hipsters on their cell phones doing nothing. Icona Pop is DANCE music and I feel like they were jipped out of a great crowd. But I am so happy they came to Cleveland and I had a blast. The 2 opening groups were great too!
Icona Pop blew my expectations away! The mood went from acoustic to party and every song had something different feeling.
Perfect! The show was in a smaller venue which allowed for a perfect viewing experience. The sound system was amazing and the event was fantastic.
The opening acts were different and fun. Once Icona Pop came on stage all I wanted to do was dance and enjoyed every second of their set!
The only complaint I have is that the two warm-up bands played longer than Icona Pop. The warm-up bands were on for over an hour and a half while Icona Pop played for 45 mins. Especially the second band, K-flay. Way too long! I wanted more Icona Pop, since I paid to see them more.
I would definitely recommend going to the House of Blues in Orlando for a concert. Not only were we greeted fantastic, we were treated as if we belonged there. Everyone was so energetic, amazing, and wonderful. The bands were fantastic. Shilah, K Play and of course Icona Pop. What a great bunch of girls and there band coparts were awesome too. Thanks again for making My Daughters first concert enjoyable. I Love It.......
The opening acts were amazing! They seemed to have upstaged the main act, Icona pop. I was expecting this crazy DJ set from these awesome girls. Something to blow my ear drums off. What I got wasn't it. They were great opening for Marina and the Diamonds last year. Maybe they're trying to branch out more. I'm not even sure. Something was missing from their concert, too cookie cutter, passion for their music was missing. Maybe they were having an off night but I wanted a lot more than I received from them when it came to energy.
Loved the concert! great lights, amazing music, close up.
I was really impressed wit the performance by icona Pop!! They are hugely talented. They played all the instruments and sang flawlessly. Their stage production what dope as well. Glad I checked them out
Besides the long waits between acts, it was phenomenal. They killed it!
Icona Pop was SO GOOD last night!! A must see. Great energy and performance.
I loved every minute of them you feel like you're in a club with them they pump up the crowd so well and you never feel bored any second they're on!!
