The Duo Royel Otis is Hitting the Palace Theater

Australian indie-pop duo Royel Otis is bringing their dreamy, genre-blending sound to Palace Theatre in St. Paul on Thursday, October 2, 2025, as part of their Meet Me in the Car tour. The duo is made up of Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic, long-time family friends who realized their mutual love for music back in 2019, and decided to start collaborating, into what eventually became Royel Otis. The show will offer a promising evening of shimmering melodies, nostalgic vibes, and emotionally rich performances.

The band has quickly risen through the indie ranks with viral covers of “Murder on the Dancefloor” and “Linger”, alongside original hits such as “Oysters in My Pocket”, “Sofa King”, and “I Wanna Dance With You”. Their latest album, Hickey, showcases their evolution—balancing upbeat hooks with thought-provoking lyrics and a signature lo-fi charm.

Joining them on stage is bby, a rising act known for their bedroom pop aesthetic and mellow grooves, making for a perfectly paired lineup. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering their sound, this show is set to be a highlight of the fall concert season in the Twin Cities. Expect jangly guitars, heartfelt vocals, and a crowd ready to sing along. If you want tickets to the show, you can find them here!
