About

ROYKSOPP IN CONCERT:

Norwegian electronica legends Royksopp have been experimenting with synths and drum machines since first stepping onto the scene in the late-'90s. Their live shows are a feast for the eyes and ears as the band plays signature hits like "Eple" and "Happy Up Here" dressed in elaborate stagewear, often making several wardrobe changes during their sets. Whether they're building beats or toying with unique sounds on stage, Royksopp deliver an electrifying performance every time with an amazing light show and frequent guest appearances. Swedish electropop sensation Robyn will join the band for their Royksopp and Robyn Do It Again Tour 2014, treating fans to a special collaboration on a string of worldwide tour dates. 

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Original Royksopp members Svein Berge and Torbjorn Brundtland met at a young age and became friends after realizing their mutual love for electronica music. Although they parted ways soon after, the duo reunited eight years later to form Royksopp, breaking into the mainstream with their 2001 debut Melody A.M, a No. 1 hit in their native Norway. Since then, the band has released three more chart-topping studio albums, won seven Spellemannprisen awards (AKA Norwegian Grammys), and remixed artists like Coldplay and Peter Gabriel. The collaborations continue for the band as they set out on the Royksopp and Robyn Do It Again Tour 2014 alongside the fellow Scandinavian singer.   

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"The music was so amazing live and they were very energetic and played for an extra 15 minutes which was much appreciated. I would definitely go see them again!"

"That was one of the best concerts ever... the place was cool, the music was great and the people were fantastic. Very well done show! Royksopp are true artists, their music is just amazing. Top -of-the-line performance. Thanks guys!!!"

"Loved it! Great music and great venue -- perfect for the type of music."

    By far the best show I've been to yet! Very high energy, not oversold (so it wasn't too crowded), and the music and the band was fantastic. I was worried that they weren't going to get enough publicity since the ticket sites were not posting blurbs about them, but it was a great and sold out show. :3 Would definitely recommend again, and would see again if they came back.

    Royksopp

    by ruderoodi on 4/1/11The Regency Ballroom - San Francisco

    Sooo cool! These guys are probably my favorite group right now. They kept the list mostly to Junior (which is a good thing) and had plenty of energy. They had a guitarist and a bassist, and a singer which I believe is the woman who sings on a few of their album songs such as You Don't Have a Clue (my favorite song). She really has an incredible voice. After they left they came back for an encore. After that they came back AGAIN and did a King's of Leon cover. The venue was beautiful but booze was super expensive (surprise surprise). A Great show.

    wow!

    by wadsie on 3/31/11The Regency Ballroom - San Francisco

    i was expecting a pretty mellow show. instead it was a full-frontal rock and roll rave assault. it was great - just very unexpected! i had never seen them so maybe they always rock out like this. in any event, they were fantastic - the guitar and bass players were excellent and the Royksopp duo brought a great amount of energy and freakiness to the stage.

    Better the 2nd time around ..

    by SonicAzure on 3/31/11The Regency Ballroom - San Francisco

    The first time I saw Royksopp at this venue was Nov 09, while they were heavily promoting Junior. The show in itself was good but acoustics alongside being directly up front didn't blend well, which I think put a damper on my experience. This time, we went a few rows deep this time, and from the sounds of how they tweeked their live sound to include less shrill electronic effects, it made for a much better experience. The music was far less predictable as well, though they opened with a few singles here and there which were greatly accepted by the crowd, my mind exploded when they suddenly dropped down into a live rendition of the Milde Salve mix of their re-rub of Steve Reich's Electric Counterpoint. Though it came early on, it was definitely the high point of the concert for me. Everything after that was phenomenal as well, a light sprinkling of singles here and there coupled with some TEAR the ROOF off live tracks that made me think I wasn't so much at a concert but was raving again. Very very very energetic set that closed with (on their, what, 4th encore?) a remix of a Kings Of Leon tune that I found mighty dandy. My biggest gripe though is that I was really expected to hear some more kicked up versions of tracks on Senior. I got faked out bad when they began playing Alpha Male thinking it was Senior Living, but yeah .. should have guessed they weren't going to play material from a decidedly ambient album on a live stage .. despite the fact that merch was selling primarily "Senior" gear. Regardless, thanks again Senor's B & B! 8/10.

    One lucky Leno!

    by alichan4 on 3/30/11The Regency Ballroom - San Francisco

    The Regency Ballroom sets a grand atmosphere with elegant chandeliers, balcony seating and a large open floor to be close to the musicians. Drinks are available, although pricey at $4 for bottled water. The show was close to 2.5 hours including a 20 minute intermission. I am sure the performers came with their own lighting technicians as both shows were extremely well done. Entering with a mix of familiar tunes including Epple, Royksopp's performance had the crowd bobbing and dancing from the start. After the introduction came Remind Me, then vocalist Anneli Drecker appeared amidst wild cheering for Sparks. Throughout the show the group appeared in various robotic costumes for added dramatics. It is one thing to listen to the music on an iPod and another completely fresh experience to be surrounded by and participate in it through live performance. In addition to the set the duo came back for not one, but two encores! One featured Only this Moment, the second a remix of the Kings of Leon The Immortals. Absolutely stunning and really played the crowd well. Royksopp we love you! Come back soon!

    Royksopp showed great willingness to experiment with their best songs, but I didn't care for the results. Stage presence was fair, helped or hurt by their costumes.

    Royksopp does it again--fantastic show!

    by juju22 on 3/30/11The Regency Ballroom - San Francisco

    I've seen Royksopp only once before about eight years ago and was impressed with their energy and overall stage performance, as I was already a fan of the Melody A.M. album. This time around, they pulled out some extra goodies and had more live music onstage. (the Kate Bush classic, "Wuthering Hieghts", for instance) They rocked it!

    Royksopp was unbelievable.

    by Celer on 3/30/11The Regency Ballroom - San Francisco

    I absolutely loved the show; would highly recommend Royksopp to anyone interested in a fantastic, energized, and overall fun electronic show. The costumes mixed with the lights and effects only added to the already stellar musical performance. It ruled.

    Incredible Concert & Performance,need 2 see again

    by xsailor on 3/30/11Masquerade - Atlanta

    Still under the influence of this concert. Although I was there, I keep watching the youtube videos of it, just to remind myself that I was there and wasn't dreaming. Type in Royksopp Atlanta in youtube, and watch them all. Venue: It actually makes me feel depressed that I might never get to see Royksopp ever this close. I was so close with no barriers between audience and the band, that I shook Torbjørn's hand. Masquerade is a great venue to watch any concert. You have freedom to be up close to the band while dancing without crashing into people. Everyone has their own space and freedom. Opening act: Jon Hopkins. This already acclaimed and famous DJ was newer to the Atlanta audience. However it only took him 2 songs to get everyone pumped up and dancing. His music is above the general realms of an electronica genre. At the end of his set, everyone was ready to pay the same ticket price paid that night, just to see Jon Hopkins next time he is in Atlanta. Royksopp: Amazing music, and stage performance... They captured the hearts of the entire audience that day. I keep going back to that day. It's very hard to write a review when you keep wanting for more. Royksopp was clearly enjoying entraining the audience. It was definitely an amazing experience. I hope they come back to Atlanta very quickly!!

    Absolutely amazing!

    by Anonymous on 3/30/11The Regency Ballroom - San Francisco

    This was my first concert ever, and on top of that it was my birthday, so maybe that increased my excitement for the event, but I think it was just them being awesome :-D. Been listening to their music for some time and they definitely played a lot of their signature songs, but hyped it up a bit and gave it a more intense feeling. A lot of my favorites popped up and they definitely played a lot of songs for us!

    What an amazing show!

    by M7769 on 3/30/11The Regency Ballroom - San Francisco

    Röyksopp is a one of a kind, unique group to experience. From start to finish everything was incredible. They wore these funny burlap outfits with their heads covered, then they changed into minimalist, electronic green glowing helmets. Too cool for words. First time I ever saw a group perform two encores! The crowd went wild! I'll definitely see them again.

    Royksopp was mesmerizing!

    by observador on 3/30/11The Regency Ballroom - San Francisco

    What an amazing night. The music was energized and hauntingly beautiful at times. The peformers were all in sync. Anneli Drecker paid homage to some great voices, Robyn, Dreijer Andersson and Kate Bush... Can you say two encore performances!?! The only disappointment was that they didn't play longer and played none of their new stuff. I can't wait to see them again.

    Fan friendly, yet independent...

    by mozolini on 3/30/11The Regency Ballroom - San Francisco

    ... from the opening act, Jon Hopkins, who mixed his usual ambient soundscapes into some gritty, big beat free form experience to Royksopp' choice to not play a single cut from their newest, atmospheric Senior. Slightly unexpected, but a great show! Royksopp were very active with many costume changes and hopping around the stage. It was a very Euro-Disco-Pop-Dub-Groove-Rock show with superb vocals by Anneli Drecker. Jon Hopkins has a great ear, great equipment, and a great balance between Soundtrack Ambient and Gritty hiccup, deep bass, beats. I have since bought all his work. Very good show with unexpected twists.

    Great Show

    by ScrabbleRock on 3/30/11The Regency Ballroom - San Francisco

    Felt like a Burning Man event. Royksopp came out in what looked like burlap bags and pillow cases over their heads. Lots of odd headwear. Music was great, had everyone moving.

    Royksopp live delivers

    by JoeyZZ on 3/30/11The Regency Ballroom - San Francisco

    Live electronic music acts usually take a unique approach to the performance aspect of the show. On one end of the spectrum, There's the humble DJ set, sometimes with a vocalist. The performance aspect is minimal, but still usually effective from a dancability standpoint. Then there are artists that go out of their way to recreate the composition live by using an incredible amount of on-stage hardware, programming, live sample and sequence triggering, and completely MIDI-timecode synchronized equipment. Only a few acts pull this off effectively, notably The Prodigy and Orbital. Deadmau5 is getting there. Royksopp sits somewhere between these two extremes. An effective amount of hardware for sequence triggering and track "embellishment" helps keep the show interesting, and the MIDI-synched beats make sure that you could dance, if you wanted to. They retain flexibility on stage by using some pre-programmed elements, notably drum loops and basslines. The "live" performers "playing" the guitar and bass took me out of the moment though, as perfectly sequenced guitar arpeggios would be nearly impossible to pull off live. Nevertheless, the show was great and I really enjoyed dancing to tunes that so many memories had been made of.

    Great live show

    by LarsDavis on 3/30/11The Regency Ballroom - San Francisco

    It was really interesting to see songs from Melody AM performed live. The studio album is so beautifully mastered I was curious to see how it would play out in a live performance. Not only did they play nearly the entire album at the show but there was much improv added to most the songs. Like true songwriters you could see how the musical expression and fluency eased from these guys. Truly gifted artists and musicians. Very original and exciting performance.
