Galantis on Tour

Galantis combines the dance-meets-pop genius of two Swedish super-producers: Christian "Bloodshy" Karlsson (a member of Miike Snow who's worked with Britney Spears, Katy Perry and Madonna to name a few) and Linus Eklöw, aka Style of Eye, (cowriter of Icona Pop's "I Love It" with tracks on such respected electronic labels as OWSLA, Fool's Gold and Dirtybird). It should come as no surprise that these two know how to work a crowd. Sure, they're known to fire up the flame cannons, program wild visuals, twist knobs with abandon and bang on a long line of physical drums during their shows. But with Galantis, it's all about the energy and emotion in the music itself as the superduo's studio expertise comes to mega vivid, incredibly loud life. They cycle through upbeat styles, mixing and remixing their melodically blessed hits, but when the drop comes, it's less likely to be a bass blowout than an epic sing-along. Their mastery of mood has been on display since they played their first gig at Coachella in 2014.

Galantis in Concert

Both members of Galantis began making music as children growing up in Sweden. Karlsson's first loves were punk rock and hip-hop, which he discovered via skateboarding, while Eklöw's path began with listening to soul and jazz at home and starting to play drums at age 10. The former joined bands and started producing with an old friend (they'd later cowrite Spears' "Toxic" as Bloodshy & Avant). The latter kicked off his career DJing drum ‘n' bass at school dances, then became a Stockholm underground mainstay. After crossing paths in Karlsson's Robotberget studio, the pair bonded over the idea of fusing EDM's huge energy with pop's emotional pull. They built their own studio on an island in the Baltic Sea and found their approach: rather than start with a beat, they write on guitar or piano, keeping the song spare until they're sure they love it, and only then add the electronic flourishes. The superduo's LPs — 2015's Pharmacy and 2017's The Aviary — are carefully composed, dynamic mixtures of melancholy and mania, house beats and bright vocals, music theory and visceral thump. All of that is contained in Galantis' singles, too, which include collaborations with rock-oriented acts like OneRepublic and Passion Pit.

    Fun, vibes were all over the place

    by Liz on 11/27/23The Salt Shed - Chicago

    I’m a long time fan of Galantis but this was my first time seeing them. I was surprised how few of their songs were played normally, nearly all the the drops were not the versions I knew. I don’t mind some remixes, but when more than 75% of what’s played is unfamiliar versions it’s a little harder to enjoy. They also didn’t play full versions of most songs. Most of them only had one drop before moving on to the next one. The Avicii tribute and crossovers were really cool though. Loved that. Still a fun concert, and if you’re just wanting to dance this is a still a great one to see.

    Had a lot of fun seeing Galantis at Salt Shed. The visuals were great and so was the sound quality. Set was overall a lot of fun.

    Played a dj set at their own show

    by Talha on 11/25/23

    Barely got to experience Galantis songs — random ones were played for the most part and they weren’t good either. I first saw them in 2020 and they did a great job back then. Not sure what happened this year. Big let down.

    Amazing!!!

    by Ash on 11/25/23The Salt Shed - Chicago

    First of all, this was my first time at the salt shed and it was AMAZING. Probably one of the top venues I’ve been to in Chicago. Indoor and outdoor area, clean and big bathrooms in an easily accessible area, affordable drink prices and free parking right outside!!!!!! A very intimate venue as well!!!! Only complaint was the line for the bar could have moved quicker but even for that I only had to wait like 15 minutes. Galantis had an amazing set and I literally had the time of my life. I keep rewatching the videos and living it all over again. It was AMAZING. Thank you salt shed & thank you galantis !!!! I will be back!!!!

    Great Show. Venue Needs Some Changes

    by Mark on 11/25/23The Salt Shed - Chicago

    First time going to The Salt Shed. Galantis was great. The light and sound production was good. The parking is a disaster. $40 parking for valet or on site. I paid $45 since I used a card and didn’t know they don’t have accessible street parking within a reasonable distance. Coat check was also inefficient. Took almost 20 minutes. I paid for a GA floor ticket, but no one checks your ticket to get into the floor, so it got so crowded we couldn’t even go down there and had to go in the seated section. If I pay more for a specific ticket, I should be able to access the section without being cramped like a sardine. I ended up paying an extra $20 for nothing. The premium seating section didn’t have this issue.

    Not what I expected

    by Kaela on 11/25/23The Salt Shed - Chicago

    It was a fun show, but it wasn’t what I expected. I wanted to hear Galantis music not a mix of a bunch of throwback songs. I also wanted to see the girl with the mask. I still enjoy the artist’s music, but I don’t think I’ll ever go to a concert again.
