Somebody at Showbox at the Market on Sunday, March 14, 2027, is going to try the dance. You know the one, even if you don't think you do: knees, hips, a goofy stomp, a video that went around the world in 2018. Little Big is coming to Seattle, and the room is going to be ridiculous in the best way.

Doors are at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. The Showbox holds 1,150. The date was announced Nov. 3 and tickets are on sale now through AXS. The show listing has the details.

If you only know one Little Big song, it's "Skibidi." The video came out on Oct. 5, 2018, went viral, and spun off the "Skibidi Challenge," according to the band's Wikipedia entry. Years later the word took on a second life online through an unrelated meme series, and the band has been quick to point out, in its own press materials, that it got there first. They leaned into it last year with a 17-date North American run called The Original Skibidi Tour, which opened at Webster Hall in New York on Oct. 22, 2025, and closed in San Diego in mid-November.

There's more to the band than one dance, though. Little Big formed in Saint Petersburg in 2013 and left Russia less than a week after the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, relocating to Los Angeles, where they work now. The current lineup is Ilya "Ilich" Prusikin and Sonya Tayurskaya. Their videos are built on outrageous visuals and social satire: "Coco Copter," one of their recent singles, takes aim at AI's encroachment on human creativity, per the band's announcement of the track, and they've described their sound as genre-defying punk-pop-rave. Music Connection caught one of their hometown shows in L.A., and that piece is a good primer on what you're in for.

There's more to Little Big than one dance, but you should still learn the dance.

The band has stayed busy on the road. This fall they've been working through a European tour that kicked off in Oslo on Oct. 11, with stops including Hamburg's Große Freiheit 36 on Oct. 26. By the time they reach Seattle in March, the show should be well-oiled.

Showbox at the Market is an easy pick for a band like this. At 1,150 capacity, it's big enough for a real crowd and small enough that the costumes and choreography on stage don't get lost. A Little Big show works best when the audience is half the performance, and this room makes that easy.

A Sunday show in March is a good excuse to end a gray Seattle weekend on a loud note. Buy tickets, practice the dance in your kitchen, and don't take yourself too seriously. The band certainly won't.
