Out of Sync

Out of Sync is a fictional boy band consisting of four theatre artists who actively tour throughout Finland, Europe, and soon Japan as well! The band's performances combine energetic dance numbers, lip-sync, and comedy. Pete, Nico, Wayne, and Cummy bring a larger-than-life show that makes audiences from infants to pensioners fall in love, be moved, go wild, and want more - time and time again. The Youth Pride opening is the starting shot for the group's most anticipated summer tour!
