Lukas Graham concert
The Danish four-piece pop and soul band, Lukas Graham – named after lead singer Lukas Graham Forchhammer – released their first eponymous album in 2012, and even though the record peaked on the top of several local charts, the band only earned international fame with their second album that includes superb singles like “Mama Said” and “7 Years”, which charmed crowds worldwide. It seems like the boys burst into fame from nowhere, and now they embark on an expansive tour that crisscrosses the globe through mid-April, including stops at several major European cities like Budapest, where they step on stage on March 19th.
