Where music and art collide: NIKO NIKO TAN TAN head to their first Australian shows

Japanese music unit NIKO NIKO TAN TAN are set to perform at Melbourne’s RISING festival and Sydney’s VIVID. The trio have drawn attention for their unique fusion of music and visual art. Speaking ahead of their Australian debut, the members shared their thoughts on expanding overseas, the roots of their creative process, and their commitment to live performance — while saying they want to remain “a group that can’t be easily defined or boxed in.”
