In concert Kygo takes ticket buyers on a euphoric journey, quickening pulses with massive builds before unleashing massive drops that rattle the venue walls. He pairs party-starting cuts like "Firestone" and "Stole the Show" with a state-of-the-art light show, and the resulting audiovisual feast fully immerses fans in one seriously invigorating and blissed-out concert experience. With his cutting-edge sound and inimitable skills as a selector, Kygo has rightfully earned a place among dance music's most coveted live acts.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Kygo, aka Kyrre Gorvell-Dahll, was born in Singapore and spent his early childhood traveling the world (his father worked in the maritime industry), but the bulk of his youth was spent in Bergen, Norway. He started playing the piano at age six and began producing electronic music in his teens using Logic Studio and a MIDI keyboard. After a stint studying business and finance at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, he dropped out to pursue music full-time as Kygo. His early singles were popular with Scandinavian audiences, and he gained international recognition in 2014 with his breakthrough single "Firestone." The song climbed charts across Europe, racking up 80 million views on YouTube and earning him remix gigs for major acts like Coldplay and Diplo. Kygo followed up in 2015 with a string of popular singles including "Stole the Show" and "Stay," and in 2016 he released his debut album Cloud Nine. The record was a critical and commercial success, cracking the Top 20 in both the US and UK and leaving fans eager to dance the night away to the new tunes in concert.
