2024
The first half of the year included a concert at the Roman Coliseum, a return to Red Rocks, the promise of a new album with the release of "Lonely Cowboy" -- AND the start of their 2024 Payback Tour! They kicked off the summer in North America, and finished off the year in Europe.

They’re calling it “The Payback Tour” as the band grapples with budget realities in the 2024 music biz.
“To be honest, we called it ‘The Payback Tour’ because we’re actually working our way out of debt,” Júlíusson said. “We’re a big band with two tour buses and a truck, so it’s challenging, but we’re making steps in the right direction. COVID didn’t help and obviously we feel like artists should be getting paid more in every aspect of the game, so I hope that environment changes soon. We’re happy to be back on the road and playing for the fans.” (from WTOP news interview)
2023
A few concert dates, summer festivals, and an announcement for some much needed downtime. As much as us fans would like them to continue making music and perform every single day, it's a lot. I hope all of the Kaleo members continue to prioritize their mental and physical health, and know that we'll still be here when they come back.

2020

Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, this year has officially been a letdown for us fans. The new Surface Sounds album has been delayed from a summer release to an end-of-year release. Fight or Flight tour dates were rescheduled to 2021, with some shows being completely cancelled. WE WANT MORE!

Get an inside look at how @OfficialKaleo​ started out as a young band from Iceland to become one of the hottest acts of the year. pic.twitter.com/4Pspj1Mi7h

— Alcatel USA (@ALCATEL1TOUCH) November 7, 2016
​This was a busy year for Kaleo! They basically were on tour all year, but in the meanwhile also managed to record an album, play a bunch of festivals, go back home, shoot a couple of music videos, do secret shows in secret spaces and and threw in a few small office concerts for fun...
From Billboard: "Kaleo makes its maiden voyage on Top Rock Albums, Alternative Albums and Americana/Folk Albums, as A/B, the Icelandic quartet's first record since signing to Elektra/Atlantic, begins at No. 4 on the former chart and No. 3 on the latter two (17,000). The set's lead single, "Way Down We Go," rises 6-5 on Alternative Songs, while its harder-charging Vinyl theme "No Good," also from A/B, lifts 18-17 on Mainstream Rock Songs, returning to its peak."
(Soundtrack: I Can't Go On Without You)

Thank you Amsterdam and thank you to our wonderful crew! None of this would be possible without them! Go team Kaleo. See you next year Europe!
