Australian indie duo Royel Otis brought a dazzling, high-energy set to MGM Music Hall at Fenway on October 10, confirming their fast-rising status in the global music scene. From the jangly opener “I hate this tune” to the euphoric encore “Oysters in My Pocket,” the show was a tight, joyous mix of shimmering guitar pop, infectious grooves, and effortless charisma.

Touring behind their debut album PRATTS & PAIN, Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic delivered crowd favorites like “Car,” “Moody,” and the viral “Who’s Your Boyfriend” cover with a balance of polish and raw fun. The production was clean but impactful, with a massive screen flashing visuals, lyrics, and cheeky messages to the crowd. The Boston audience responded in kind — dancing and singing along to every lyric. It felt like more than a concert; it was a communal celebration.

Royel Otis proved they are not just a streaming sensation — they are a compelling live act with staying power. This was a victory lap that did not feel premature.
