CONCERT

Celebrating
the February 7th release of their third studio album, Church,
Galantis has partnered with entertainment technology company
Wave to create ‘Church of Galantis: Live Virtual Concert in
Wave,’ a stunning VR experience that will be shared with their
global fanbase on February 26 at 11:30 AM PT.
“We’re so excited to be able to share the Church of Galantis
show with all of Seafoxnation around the world,” said Galantis.
“We had this idea to bring Church into a virtual realm, where
everyone could come together as one body of music lovers and
share this awesome experience no matter where you live. This
virtual tour stop with Wave will be a special one.”
Galantis will use Wave’s proprietary technology to transform
into custom avatars in real-time and perform an exhilarating,
live 30-minute set. Fans from around the world can join via
Galantis’ YouTube channel as Seafoxes, embodying the beloved
Galantis mascot for the show. The show will be a magical, one-of-a-kind
live experience, incorporating fantastical elements and surprises
fit for the Church of Galantis. The show marks several monumental
moments for Wave. The show - premiering on YouTube - will be
the first to capture two live performers with motion capture
technology, translating Christian Karlsson and Linus Eklöw’s
dynamic movements and artistry in the virtual world. As always,
there will be unforgettable moments and very special cameos
that can’t be missed. In addition, Wave will rebroadcast Galantis’
virtual experience across multiple time zones, allowing their
fans from all around the world to experience the magic. A special
virtual reality experience rebroadcast in the Wave app will
also be available, time and date to be announced soon.
“This is one of the most breathtaking shows we’ve created,”
said Wave CEO and cofounder Adam Arrigo. “We look forward to
inviting Seafoxnation into this beautiful virtual venue. We
loved collaborating with Galantis and the amazing team at Atlantic
Records - we are believers!”
Internationally-acclaimed Swedish duo Galantis released their
third studio album Church on February 7 via Big Beat
Records. The collection takes listeners on a euphoric sonic
journey, with the title extending beyond the words’ surface
– rather tapping into broader senses of community and inspiration.
“‘Church’ doesn’t necessarily refer to a building or
specific religion,” explained Galantis, “but instead to people
banded together in similar belief for a better humanity. Whether
it’s advocating peace, change, or just lifting each other up
– that is our ‘Faith’ and ‘Church.’”
Galantis & Dolly Parton's collaborative single "Faith"
saw a #1 debut on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Chart before
quickly reaching #1 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay Chart where
where it remained for 5 weeks. The country music icon takes
a leap even further into futuristic dimensions, with a celestial
"cameo" in a live virtual concert hosted by Galantis. Her status
as a pioneering trailblazer has no bounds. Look out for this
moment with the biggest star, made of stars.
No headset is required for this virtual performance - simply
attend through the duo’s YouTube Channel at the time of the
event and be whisked away into the Church of Galantis. (A time
and date for the rebroadcast of the special virtual reality
experience in Wave will be announced soon.)

About
Galantis
Setting a new standard for songwriting in dance music, Galantis
is a collaborative project between Christian Karlsson (aka Bloodshy,
one-third of Miike Snow) and Linus Eklöw (aka Style of Eye).
Their debut album Pharmacy reached No. 1 on the Billboard
Dance album chart on the strength of RIAA gold certified single
“Peanut Butter Jelly” and platinum certified smash “Runaway
(U & I)” – the latter of which earned GRAMMY nominations for
“Best Dance Recording” and “Best Remixed Recording” – while
their 2017 sophomore album The Aviary (featuring platinum
certified single “No Money”) saw a top 10 debut in 23 countries.
The duo have received over 3 billion cumulative worldwide streams,
and over 1 billion video views to date.
The duo’s first new album in three years, Church, features
Galantis’ explosive single “Faith” with country music icon Dolly
Parton featuring Dutch singer-songwriter Mr. Probz. Praised
as “a life-affirming dancefloor jam” by Entertainment
Weekly upon release, “Faith” saw a #1 debut on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic
Chart before quickly reaching #1 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay
Chart where it remained for 5 weeks. The track listing also
includes the duo’s blockbuster collaborations with OneRepublic
(“Bones”), Passion Pit (“I Found U”) and YellowClaw (“We Can
Get High”), among new standout tracks “Never Felt A Love Like
This” with Hook N Slingfeaturing Dotan and “Hurricane” with
John Newman.
The story of Galantis started back in 2009. Working as Bloodshy,
Karlsson’s songwriting collaborations have included Madonna,
Kylie Minogue, Katy Perry and Britney Spears (whose “Toxic”
earned a GRAMMY for “Best Dance Recording”). After reaching
out to Eklöw (who produced Icona Pop’s hit single “I Love It”
as Style of Eye) to remix Miike Snow’s “Animal,” the two continued
to collaborate until ultimately Galantis was born. Following
their blockbuster performance debut at 2014’s Coachella Valley
Music and Arts Festival, the duo quickly rose to become one
of dance music’s most dynamic and in-demand live performers.
