The performance was filmed during the singer’s October 2021 show at Copenhagen’s Den Gra Hal. The show sees the singer work with her Live creative director Rob Sinclair to create a unique stage show, who is known for his work with Tame Impala, Shania Twain and Zara Larsson. Alongside tickets, fans will also be able to purchase merchandise, including T-shirts, totes, stickers and pins.

The press release provides the following statement describing the event, “For this unique one-time performance, MØ has transformed her favourite venue into the Motordrome, inviting fans to step inside of her creative vision for the album. The exciting, dynamic Moment will find MØ performing songs from her latest album, Motordrome, for the first time, alongside career-spanning hits. As a celebration for the release of the record, MØ is bringing the complete live experience to fans around the world who weren’t able to see her return to the stage in person.”

As stated, fans will be able to hear the singer’s back catalogue as well as her newest material from Motordrome. The album is the artist’s first full release since her 2018 album Forever Neverland, to mark Motordrome’s release the singer also released a new single entitled “New Moon”. The single dropped with an official music video directed by Fa and Fon, the London based duo known for their work within multi visual design.

The new album has also sired four previously released tracks, all of which have garnered great critical acclaim. Stereogum described the album’s third single “Brad Pit” as “one of the best ’80s synth-pop updates”. The next single to be released “Goosebumps” also received rave reviews, Flood declared the track was “a sincere love song that blossoms into sexy synth-rock”.

The press release for Motordrome describes the origin story behind the album’s name and the healing properties in which the process held, “Motordrome’s title came from a conversation MØ had with her mother about her battles with anxiety—the panic and intrusive thoughts called to mind the dødstrome, an old carnival trick in which a stuntperson rides a motorcycle around the vertical walls of a motordrome at death-defying speeds. The making of the album proved to be MØ’s escape from this deepening spiral, although the album is very much a document of a person-in-progress. While there is a strong sense of empowerment and of brighter days ahead, it also serves as a reminder that everyone has to deal with their own dødstrome—that there is no perfect remedy for life’s struggles, and that’s OK.”

Fans from all over the globe will be able to purchase tickets to watch the live stream, dates and times for each territory can be found below. Along with the recently announce streamed event, MØ will also be hitting the road in July for a series of live performances in Europe and North America.

In speaking to IQ Magazine, CEO Michael Rapino has said that fans can, “expect shows at scale next summer,” after putting in the relevant safety measures in place due to Covid-19. He confirmed that, “From venue sanitation procedures to fan-friendly policies and on ticket purchases and the latest testing options, we are setting standards that will give the fans, crews and artists peace of mind before, during and after the show.”

Due to the uncertainty of when things will return to normal due to the current crisis, Rapino told IQ Magazine that they can, ““expect shows at scale next summer,” but he added that the, “exact timeline of this return will vary by region, and so we continue to focus on remaining flexible.” Last month ticketmaster also laid out their plans for the future and explained how fans can be assured that they will remain safe during live shows. Their new ‘Smartevent Technology’ enables organisers to easily distribute tickets for Covid-19 protected shows.

In talking to Kerrang in June, Live Nation promoter Andy Copping talked about the impact that the Corona virus has had on the ‘live music scene’ saying, “The concern is that we might not see gigs as we know it this year, certainly in the bigger rooms. I’m hoping that some of the smaller venues will be up and operating towards the end of this year, and that will hopefully energise the live business and we can get back to some kind of normality in early 2021.”

He spoke about the affects this has had on artists, bands and their fans by saying “We’re frustrated about not going to shows, but the bands themselves are super-frustrated about not being able to play – that’s what they do for a living! Yeah, they’re writing songs and just spent the past three-and-a-half months sat in their houses, but most bands make their money being on the road so they wanna get out there. I’m hoping we see some kind of light at the end of this hideous tunnel and we get back to live music sooner rather than later.”

There is no doubt there is a lot of angst when it comes to the future of live music but Rapino remains optimistic by saying to IQ Magazine that Live Nation, “will maintain flexibility and focus on innovating,” and looking forward to the future of live music.
