Dubai Opera welcomes Norwegian indie folk duo Kings of Convenience - Erlend Øye and Eirik Glambek Bøe - to perform a one-off concert on October 16, 2025. Known for their smooth harmonies, thoughtful lyrics, and immersive acoustic arrangements, the duo is often compared to Simon & Garfunkel and Belle and Sebastian, and has built a global fanbase since their 2000 debut. The evening will feature songs from successful albums such as Quiet Is the New Loud, Riot on an Empty Street, Declaration of Dependence, and Peace or Love (2021). Hits such as Misread, I’d Rather Dance with You, Mrs. Cold, and Know How have amassed hundreds of millions of streams, with over 1.1 million monthly listeners on Spotify. The performance takes on a special significance in the refined and acoustically exquisite setting of Dubai Opera, offering an intimate and emotionally impactful musical experience. The two artists will interact directly with the audience, creating a warm and engaging atmosphere, far removed from hyper-spectacular performances and closer to authenticity. The event represents a rare opportunity to experience a genre that blends Folk, Indie, and Pop live, within a theater that elevates the show to a refined experience.
