Ashnikko Ignites St. Paul’s Palace Theatre with High-Voltage Pop Spectacle (PHOTOS)

Ashnikko brought pure, electrified chaos—in the best possible way—to the Palace Theatre in St. Paul on March 31, 2026, lighting up a nearly sold-out, all-ages crowd on the Smoochies tour. The night opened with a short but impactful set from Princess Nokia, immediately setting a bold, high-energy tone.

From there, Ashnikko took full command with a wildly theatrical, sexually charged performance that blurred the boundaries between hip-hop and pop spectacle. Fans arrived in force—and in striking fashion—sporting colorful, imaginative outfits that mirrored the vibrant energy onstage. With choreographed dance routines, vivid visuals, and relentless movement, the show felt less like a traditional concert and more like a surreal, fever-dream performance piece.

The setlist leaned heavily on newer material while still delivering the fan favorites, with explosive highlights during Slumber Party and Daisy, both of which sent the crowd into a full-on frenzy.
