Wiz Khalifa’s major hits “Black & Yellow”, ”See You Again”, ”We Dem Boyz”, ”Work Hard, Play Hard” and many more, collaborations with The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Tyga, made him one of the most successful and acclaimed artists in the world. In June, you can get to see him perform for the first time in Romania, at SAGA Festival, on the Source Stage (Mainstage), live.
Lil Nas X, “an internationally recognized phenomenon” rose to fame in 2019 when he released “Old Town Road” and simultaneously upended the music industry – shattering genre norms, disrupting the charts and going viral worldwide. The song’s remix with Billy Ray Cyrus became the longest running #1 single in Billboard Hot 100 history after 19 weeks atop the chart, 16x Platinum hit – the most certified song in RIAA history, recognized with numerous awards including two Grammys. After releasing his eclectic EP 7 in June 2019, which features the 6x Platinum “Panini” and 2x Platinum “Rodeo,” Lil Nas X followed with the culture-shifting 3x Platinum hit “MONTERO (Call Me Be Your Name)” in March 2021, a queer anthem provoked much needed dialogue around the globe. Already named a fashion icon for all his incredible eye-catching looks, the multifaceted artist and internet king released his critically-acclaimed and GRAMMY-nominated debut album Montero in September 2021. Lil Nas X is currently in the studio working on his sophomore album.
As for Skrillex‘s genre-defying beats and electrifying presence, will just make you ask for more. For the first time in Bucharest, Skrillex has won eight Grammy Awards, more than any other electronic dance music artist. The DJ has collaborated with Diplo and Boys Noize to form the groups Jack Ü and Dog Blood respectively. It was announced on Moore’s 29th birthday, that he reunited with From First to Last and released a single named “Make War”. In 2017, Skrillex produced and mixed 8, the eighth studio album by rock band Incubus.
Through a unique production ethos, the music of Tale Of Us carries an exclusive sense of both urgency and restraint, taking ample time to carefully pace both the listener and the dance floor. Think: quivering keys, mesmerizing percussion and haunting chords, conjuring mystifying ambience and suspense. This ethos culminates in their latest inception: Afterlife, an odyssey through the realm of consciousness. With multifaceted focus, Tale Of Us breaks poetic and emotional boundaries, bringing reverence and awe to multiple scenes and levels, usually hemispheres away.
Renowned for his ability to craft hypnotic, high energy records that have captured the hearts of his fans, the Norwegian DJ and producer Alan Walker is truly a force to be reckoned with. By popular demand, he will be back to Romaero to make you vibe with him on the dancefloor.
Alan Walker arrived on the music scene in late 2015 with his debut hit single Faded, garnering over 1.4 billion Spotify streams and a massive 3.1 billion YouTube video views. After building a massive social-following and releasing a string of successful singles such as Alone and Darkside, collaborating with artists including Ava Max, Hans Zimmer, Noah Cyrus, Sia, Bruno Mars and Coldplay, the chart-topping debut album Different World arrived in late 2018, amassing over 4 billion streams on Spotify.
Stay tuned, more artists are about to be announced in the coming days!
