The first night will feature signature tunes from their discography dating to the late 1990s, including their latest album Peace Or Love (2021), a top 10 hit in countries such as Norway, Scotland and Germany.

The second show, dubbed B-Sides, will see the duo take on hidden gems, songs they rarely play live.

MRT: City Hall
When: Monday and Tuesday, 8pm
