Röyksopp’s Copenhagen appearance on their 2025 True Electric Tour was a study in sonic philosophy. Performed at Vega, the set distilled the essence of their career-long commitment to analogue instrumentation—a warm, textured counterpoint to digital ubiquity.

Since 1998, Röyksopp has navigated the delicate line between pop accessibility and experimental depth. Kraftwerk remains a clear influence, but the duo also borrows from prog-rock’s spatial ambitions—think Floyd, think Crimson.
The setlist highlighted this balance, with “Stay Awhile” (from Profound Mysteries III) emerging as a fan anchor. Yet, the omission of “Oh, Lover,” a Sundfør collaboration marked by lyrical finesse and harmonic poise, left a subtle void.
