Lukas Forchhammer, one half of the music duo Lukas Graham, is set to open for Ed Sheeran on his US tour. Despite the exciting opportunity, Lukas prioritizes his children, ensuring he is present for their school start. He plans to fly back and forth between the States and Denmark to balance his music career and family responsibilities. Lukas is thrilled about the upcoming tour with Ed Sheeran and is looking forward to releasing their new album, Good Times.
The collaboration with Ed Sheeran is a perfect match for Lukas, as they share influences from folk and hip hop music.
