The duo is set to release their sophomore album, Big city life, on May 23 through Danish label Escho.Using collages to capture moments of everyday life and dreams, Smerz tell stories of love, apathy, solitude and friendship. The pair operates at the intersection of genres, drawing inspiration from compositional techniques in classical music, the experimentation of computer music and the immediacy of pop music, all in the palettes of girly existentialism. The duo’s discography includes the critically acclaimed debut album Believer on XL Recordings, EPs Have fun and Okey, released through XL and Escho, as well as pop fantasy project ALLINA and choir piece Tidligere den dagen with vocal ensemble GAEA on their own label Shopping.Notable past performances include Tate Modern, MOCA Geffen, Berghain, Volksbühne, MIRA Festival with Weirdcore, KODE with the Norwegian National Company of Contemporary Dance, and Club To Club. From their choir performance at the MUNCH Museum to fashion runway soundtracks, throughout their work, Smerz have been known for their ability to navigate and create new sonic worlds.To learn more about SMERZ:Visit their Bandcamp page here - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/minneapolis/smerz/100001984332989388 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, music, dance, festivals, art, fine-arts, shopping, pop - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 30.97, max: 35.21, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Minneapolis - **state**: MN - **country**: United States - **location**: The Cedar Cultural Center - **lat**: 44.9694419 - **long**: -93.2476028 - **full address**: The Cedar Cultural Center, 416 Cedar Avenue South, Minneapolis, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: SMERZ - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/4b74bcf0d14fa9f124de8694f29de6b7d35f10c1760331bbdca2e37ecd275f46-rimg-w1200-h900-dc030303-gmir.jpg?v=1772730773 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is SMERZ being held? - **A:** SMERZ takes place on Fri, 22 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Fri, 22 May, 2026 at 11:00 pm at The Cedar Cultural Center, 416 Cedar Avenue South, Minneapolis, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for SMERZ? - **A:** Ticket prices for SMERZ range from USD 31 to USD 35 depending on the ticket type.
