LOS ANGELES, United States (Jul 2026) – Honoring the legacy of a late parent is a deeply personal journey, and global singer-songwriter Lukas Graham is channeling that raw emotion into his latest musical chapter ahead of a massive stadium tour. The Grammy-nominated artist recently unveiled "Good Times," the title track and opening song from his upcoming 13-track album set to drop on August 14 through Virgin Music Group. The track serves as a sonic homecoming, heavily leaning into the Celtic and folk traditions that defined his early life. A tribute to family and musical heritage The inspiration behind the music stems from his late father, Eugene, a Donegal-born music enthusiast who booked folk musicians across Scandinavia. This environment introduced the young artist to the traditional sounds that would later shape his career. After years of touring worldwide, this project marks a conscious decision to reconnect with those foundational sounds. To bring this vision to life, the album was recorded in Nashville and New York alongside a collective of musicians who shared personal connections to his father and the folk community. The lineup features notable acoustic and bluegrass players, including uilleann pipe player Michael McGoldrick, bassist Sam Grisman, mandolinist Tim O'Brien, fiddler Stuart Duncan, and guitarist Brian Sutton. From streaming milestones to stadium stages The Danish soul-pop star first captured global attention with the 2015 multi-platinum hit "7 Years," which secured three Grammy nominations and earned a spot in the Spotify Billions Club. Over the last decade, his career has expanded to include four albums and massive hits like "Love Someone." The release arrives with an official music video featuring archival footage that documents his journey from his early days to global stardom, celebrating the people who supported him along the way. Pinoy fans can watch the official music video on YouTube. The announcement comes right before the artist joins Ed Sheeran as a special guest on select North American dates for the 2026 "Loop Tour," which kicks off on August 15 at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
