KALEO

Icelandic rock band KALEO will release their highly anticipated third studio album, MIXED EMOTIONS, on May 9 via Atlantic Records. Produced by GRAMMY® Award winner Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Sierra Ferrell) and co-produced by frontman JJ Julius Son and GRAMMY® Award winner Shawn Everett (The Killers, Kacey Musgraves), MIXED EMOTIONS is a landmark rock album that tackles themes ranging from ending gun violence to overcoming despair.

The band's most ambitious work to date, MIXED EMOTIONS hits hard and digs deep in its mission to encourage listeners to embrace the full spectrum of human emotion in these trying times. The album showcases KALEO’s dynamic range—from high-octane adrenaline to restrained, introspective reflection.

Featured tracks include hit singles “Rock N Roller,” “Lonely Cowboy,” and “USA Today,” as well as their newest release, “Back Door”—a brooding, bluesy rocker that highlights JJ’s singular, gravelly vocals. “Back Door” will be released on Friday, February 21, across all streaming platforms.

With over 4 billion global streams and more than 60 international gold, platinum, and diamond certifications, KALEO have proven themselves as a worldwide phenomenon. The GRAMMY®-nominated rockers have headlined countless sold-out shows and graced the stages of iconic festivals including Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo.

Known for their electrifying live performances, KALEO toured nonstop for three years in support of their platinum-selling debut album, A/B, which spawned the mega-hit “Way Down We Go.” The track has now joined Spotify’s Billions Club with over 1.3 billion streams and has been featured in nearly 3 million TikToks—cementing its status as one of the platform’s most viral songs.

Following their sophomore album Surface Sounds, KALEO launched the Fight or Flight World Tour, performing 97 shows in 92 cities across 22 countries throughout 2022, selling over 250,000 tickets globally.

Most recently, the band wrapped their 2024 Payback Tour, selling out iconic venues including Red Rocks and Wembley Arena. In 2025, KALEO will bring their signature sound to Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, and South America, before returning to North America for dates through May 2025.
