Aino Jawo and Caroline Hjelt met on a Saturday night in the February of 2009 which they can only recount as “the best thing that ever happened.” After their hangovers had cleared, these girls from the Stockholm suburbs formed an electronic pop duo band, booked their first gig and Icona Pop was officially born. Since then, Icona Pop has teamed with The Knocks, Patrik Berger (Robyn), Elof Loelv (Niki &The Dove), Fredrik Berger, and Style of Eye, and booked sessions with UK producers like Starsmith (Kylie, Ellie Goulding) and Burns.

The Icona Pop ladies will support Passion Pit and Matt & Kim on their upcoming North American tour, including a performance at the legendary Madison Square Garden.
