Icona Pop
Hollywood Casino Amphitheater — Maryland Heights, MO

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 brought their particular brand of breakup catharsis to Chaifetz Arena back in 2014, when they were riding high on the strength of "I Don't Care." The Swedish-American duo has always known how to work a crowd that wants to feel something, and St. Louis was no exception. It's been a minute.

St. Louis has a soft spot for catchy, confrontational pop—the kind that doesn't overthink itself. That's Icona Pop's lane. The city's pop-rock backbone runs deep, from early 2000s garage stuff to current indie-pop acts. Icona Pop's unfiltered, hooks-first approach should land well here. St. Louis audiences appreciate honesty over polish.

Base yourself in the Central West End, where the tree-lined streets and converted lofts give the neighborhood a genuinely livable vibe. Hit Broadway Oyster Bar for something with actual character, or Park Avenue Coffee if you need to ease in. Spend an afternoon at the City Museum—it's genuinely weird and worth your time, not a tourist trap. The Pulitzer Arts Foundation is also worth an hour if contemporary art is your thing. St. Louis takes itself less seriously than most cities, which makes it easy to move around and find decent food without overthinking it.
