"We love to bring the studio to life on stage; we bring our favourite toys and keep things spontaneous and fresh” – Galantis
With upcoming UK performances at Creamfields and EDC UK, as well as main stage appearances at Tomorrowland and Mysteryland this summer, critically-acclaimed Swedish production duo Galantis have announced a European tour starting this October. Dates include London, Manchester, Hamburg, Zurich and a hometown show in Stockholm.
The duo consisting of Christian Karlsson (Bloodshy of Miike Snow) and Linus Eklöw (DJ/producer Stye of Eye), have had a spectacular 2016 so far and have no plans of slowing down. Already gaining 2 Grammy nominations for their gold certified smash, ‘Runaway (U&I)’ their latest single, ‘No Money’ has garnered over 155 million streams to date (currently one of the top 10 streamed tracks in the world), spending 7 weeks in the UK Top 10. And… more new music is on the way!
Tying in with the European tour news is the duo’s quirky remix for Peter Bjorn & John’s ‘Dominos’, which injects the original cut with the duo’s high-tempo, signature bounce.
Since their first live performance at Coachella in 2014, the duo has established themselves as an exceptional live electronic act. Their distinction lies in recreating their studio on-stage, with a growing passion for incorporating percussive elements. As they continue to excite crowds with their spectacular high-energy sets, Galantis is set to raise the standard this year with their unmissable European tour.

About Galantis
Setting a new standard for songwriting in dance music, Galantis is a collaborative project between Christian Karlsson (aka Bloodshy) and Linus Eklöw (aka Stye of Eye). Embraced early on by influential DJs like Tiesto, Kaskade, Diplo and Pete Tong, and now festival staples, the powerful live act performed a monumental first-ever live performance at Coachella in 2014, and has dominated festival stages ever since. Their debut album 'Pharmacy' (2015) is an anthemic, transcendent, 13-track feel good record that was written and recorded in Los Angeles and on a tiny archipelago near Stockholm, Sweden. The album also spawned the Platinum and Gold-certified worldwide hit singles 'Runaway (U & I)’ & ‘Peanut Butter Jelly’.
