Talk about a socially-distanced concert: Less than a week ago,
Lukas Graham
posted a
video
of himself and his band performing their hit “Love Someone” while standing hundreds of feet in the air on top of one of the pylons of the
Øresund Bridge
, a five-mile-long span that connects the countries of Denmark and Sweden. He says it was “scary as hell,” but still a “great experience.”
The video was taken from a livestream concert that Lukas did last year. “T
here
was,
like,
a
20-
year
anniversary
planned
for
the
construction
of
the
bridge
and
they
couldn’t
do
the
big
festival-ish
concert they
were
going
to
do,” he explains to ABC Audio.
”
So
they
looked
for
a
band
that
was
big
in
Denmark
and
Sweden and
they
asked
us,” the Danish star continues. “And
I
was
like, ‘600 feet in the air…in between two countries, in the middle of an ocean’ — I don’t know
why
I said yes! It was like a daredevil thing.”
“It was scary, but breathtakingly beautiful as well,” he adds. “I think me and the guys were the first ones to ever set foot inside that pylon without, like, [taking] a big security course first!”
“It was scary as hell,” he laughs, “But I wouldn’t have given it up for the world. It was a great experience.”
Lukas and the band are currently working on the follow-up to 2018’s
3 (The Purple Album)
, which includes “Love Someone.” On Friday, he’s releasing a new song, “Too Late,” a collaboration with rapper
Wiz Khalifa
and electronic group
Cash Cash
.
