SOFI TUKKER Presents: Animal Talk
SOFI TUKKER brings Animal Talk to The Anthem for a high-energy electronic dance performance featuring Kungs and Nala. The GRAMMY-nominated duo, Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern, are known for joyful, globally influenced music, Brazilian-inspired sounds, and exuberant live shows. Their work includes the GRAMMY-nominated single “Drinkee” and album *Treehouse*, as well as releases including *WET TENNIS* and *BREAD, butter*.
The Animal Talk project began as a party and record label before being relaunched in 2025 as a management company supporting adventurous, dance-oriented artists. Kungs joins the bill with an upbeat blend of house, funk, disco, and French Touch. He is known for international hits including “This Girl,” “Never Going Home,” “Substitution,” and “All Night Long,” as well as his albums *Layers* and *Club Azur*. Nala is also scheduled to perform.
When: October 16
Showtimes: Doors open at 6:30 PM, and the show begins at 7:30 PM. Door, opening-act, and set times may change.
Lineup: SOFI TUKKER, Kungs, and Nala
SOFI TUKKER: The duo consists of Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern, who met at Brown University and chose to form a band rather than pursue separate musical paths. They have released four studio albums, earned billions of streams, received Platinum certifications across five continents, and performed at venues and festivals including Red Rocks, Forest Hills Stadium, Coachella, and Tomorrowland.
Kungs: The French producer from Toulon first achieved worldwide success with “This Girl,” which topped charts in more than 45 countries. His later work includes the post-lockdown anthem “Never Going Home,” the album *Club Azur*, and collaborations with Purple Disco Machine, David Guetta, PNAU, and others. His 2026 album *OUT LOUD* explores disco, rock, and French Touch.
