SOFI TUKKER have been playing the biggest headline shows of their career to ecstatic sold out crowds across the world this year, bringing WET TENNIS’ celebration of resilience to life with jubilant career-spanning sets featuring Bob’s Dance Shop that break down the boundary between performer and audience.

It debuted last month at New York Fashion Week with a rooftop presentation at Spring Studios. Sign up at http://wettennis.club to stay posted on the next drop.
