Alternative pop, electropop, synth-pop, and dance-pop have a strong contemporary multi-genre festival fit.
Tove Lo is a Swedish singer and songwriter whose emotionally candid electropop pairs club-ready production with writing about desire, vulnerability, relationships and self-destructive impulses. She broke internationally with "Habits (Stay High)" and has continued to move between mainstream pop and left-field electronic music as both a solo artist and collaborator. Her sixth studio album, ESTRUS, arrived in September 2026 through her Pretty Swede Records imprint, launching a new world-tour cycle that extends into 2027.
