About Icona Pop

Icona Pop is a Swedish-American pop duo made up of Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo. They broke through in 2012 with I Love It, a bratty breakup anthem that became impossible to avoid and somehow still sounds fresh. The song's DNA is pure spite wrapped in sticky synth-pop hooks, and it introduced their brand of gleeful, no-filter pop sensibility. Beyond that breakthrough, they've spent the last decade refining a formula of catchy, radio-friendly songs built on the kind of production that sounds like it was designed for crowded venues and car speakers. Girlfriend and We Got Love followed in that same vein—aggressively upbeat tracks built for people who want pop music that doesn't apologize for wanting you to dance. They're not reinventing anything. They're just very good at what they do: making songs that feel like they were written specifically to annoy your ex.

Their shows run on pure audience participation. Every song becomes a sing-along, especially I Love It, which crowds clearly need therapeutically. They keep energy sharp and feed off the room. Don't expect introspection or staging tricks. Just a duo getting drunk on the fact that people are yelling their lyrics back at them.

Known for I Love It, Girlfriend, We Got Love, All Night, Drunk in Love

Icona Pop + Cleveland

Icona Pop played FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland on August 27, 2015. A stadium show in Cleveland was likely part of a larger event bill, but Icona Pop's sound is built to fill rooms that big. The duo's festival and stadium appearances have always translated well when the system is right.

Live Music in Cleveland

Cleveland's pop landscape exists in interesting tension. The city bred the Raspberries and has always respected melodic sensibility, but it's also a town that doesn't genuflect to whatever's biggest. Icona Pop's brand of direct, emotionally unvarnished pop should land here—it's the kind of thing that plays well to an audience that knows the difference between a real song and a manufactured moment.

Cleveland road trip to see Icona Pop?

Stay in Ohio City, where Victorian brownstones meet serious coffee shops and galleries. Dinner at Fairmount, where chef Jonathon Sawyer sources locally and cooks with real technique—expect seasonal American food that doesn't announce itself. Spend an afternoon at the Cleveland Museum of Art, which is free and genuinely excellent. Walk through the West Side Market before the show, grab something you don't need, and feel the bones of the city. The whole neighborhood has that working-class dignity that makes Cleveland distinct.
