Kaleo
KALEO has unveiled his new song Rock N Roller and announced his Payback Tour for the autumn.
Today, multi-platinum, GRAMMY Award nominated Icelandic rock band KALEO have unveiled their new single Rock N Roller, which is available now on all streaming platforms. After performing the fan-favourite song as part of their encore at countless concerts since their launch, the band has now decided to finally record and release the song to their fans around the world.
Schedule
Commenting on Rock N Roller, KALEO frontman JJ Julius Son said. We started playing it right away and have been playing it in our sets ever since, usually as the last song in our set during our shows. When we went into the studio for our next album, we all decided it was time to record the right version of the song and finally release it to the world."
At the same time, KALEO have also announced the European leg of their Payback tour, which will see the band perform at arenas across the continent, including London's legendary OVO Arena Wembley.
KALEO recently celebrated their 10th anniversary, which they commemorated with a special concert in the Archaeological Park of the Colosseum in Rome, in the shadow of the world famous amphitheatre, in front of 250 of their biggest fans. With this performance KALEO joined the roster of Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, The Cure, Elton John and Paul McCartney. The performance was filmed and will be released later this summer under the title KALEO: Viva Roma in the Shadow of the Colosseum.
MVM Dome
MVM Dome is the seventh largest indoor event venue in Europe. Its capacity for sports events and concerts is significantly higher than that of the Budapest Sports Arena. It has 20,022 seats; a total of 50,000 square metres of floor space; innovative, rearrangeable spaces for many indoor sports (handball, basketball and volleyball, futsal, ice hockey, tennis, skating) as well as certain athletic, equestrian and motorcycle competitions, and even swimming competitions and water polo matches in the mobile pool. Through the six entrances to the building, spectators can enter the arena’s interior using eight escalators, leading to the walk-through grandstands accessible on three levels. The structure of the building’s exterior is reminiscent of muscle fibres: the light strips placed on the outward-leaning, elliptical sections not only embrace the building, but the light shows, programmed using various colours, appear to set the entire building in motion. There is a 600 square metre display on the façade of the building. The Main Entrance leads to an impressive foyer, where visitors will be greeted by a grandiose hanging light installation of 848 handmade glass tubes. The programmable sports lighting is also suitable for HDTV broadcasts of the highest-level world competitions, as well as for super-slow-motion recordings due to flicker free technology. The lighting system also plays an important role in the events and concerts, as it is suitable for changing the colour temperature of the auditorium, which means that the lighting functions can be changed without rearranging the arena, only through the pre-programmed lighting controls. This design is the first and is unique in Europe for luminaires of this power. A central display (cube) provides information in the auditorium during the events.
