Electric Callboy keeps on growing and showed it off on the European leg of the “Tanzneid World Tour” with an epic show full of hits and special moments!

At the beginning of March, Electric Callboy came back to Belgium to take over the Lotto Arena in Antwerp and do things bigger than even before! And they really set the place ablaze with the help of support acts Holding Absence and Future Palace!
