A hypnotic force redefining experimental music with raw energy and boundary-pushing artistry. Singing in Russian, French, and English, their performances are electrifying, provocative, and impossible to ignore. With roots in Saint Petersburg, they've shared stages with global icons like The Kooks and alt-J, dazzling audiences across premier festivals - Haldern Pop, OFF, Pop-Kultur Berlin, and The Great Escape. Shortparis, following in the footsteps of Sergey Kuryokhin's legacy of provocative performance art, is a genre-defying spectacle. Described by The Quietus as "ambitious, bombastic, erotic, and full of revolutionary potential," Shortparis melds electronic, dark wave, post-industrial, and avant-garde sounds into a captivating, genre-defying spectacle. It's a provocative performance art meets danceable chaos—an unapologetic collision of dark-wave punk and avant-garde pop. Shortparis isn't just music; it's an experience that challenges, thrills and seduces. We acknowledge that this event is held on the stolen lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. We pay our respects to Elders, past, present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.
