On the cusp of an international tour run, Sofi Tukker kicked off their first live show of 2022 by previewing songs from their forthcoming sophomore album,WET TENNIS, at CRSSD Festival on March 6. The eclectic duo’s live performance from the Ocean View stage cemented their first headlining slot at a major music festival.
