Milky Chance Adds Summer Gigs
A glance at the spring itinerary for the reggae/electronica mashup that is Milky Chance features gig after gig that’s already sold out. Two nights in New York plus an evening in Brooklyn? All three sold out. Two nights in Toronto? Ditto. Two nights in Chicago? Double ditto.
Reminding us that hit records sell tickets, the group’s debut album, Sadnecessary, hit No. 4 on iTunes Overall Top Albums chart and peaked at No. 1 on the Alternative Albums chart. Meanwhile, the single “Stolen Dance” is still racking up spins on radio stations.
Milky Chance will play on your TV this week when the group appears on NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” April 1 to perform “Flashed Junk Mind.”
