Feverish, theatrical and gloriously genre-fluid, Laikka tear through the binary with a post-pop sound that bends rules and breaks expectations. Their music is a high-voltage collision of glitchy electronics, oversized emotion and melodic hooks that hit like theatre set on fire. Weirdness meets grandeur, pop melancholy meets explosive energy — every performance infused with the effervescence of queer culture.
After the albums Morning Glow (2021) and Bleach (2023), and a support tour with ÄTNA, Laikka released I close my eyes, tomorrow in autumn 2024, celebrating with a release show at Flex. In 2025, they were nominated for the Amadeus Austrian Music Awards and joined the SHAPE+ program, marking their growing international momentum.
Beyond sonic experimentation, Laikka’s art is a bold statement against restrictive gender norms. Refusing to be defined by gender or genre, they embody music’s transformative power — proof that embracing one’s true artistic identity can spark connection far deeper than the pulse.
