The release arrives alongside an official music video weaving together archival footage from before and during Lukas\u2019s rise, captured by the photographers and videographers who documented his journey, celebrating the friends, family, and moments that shaped him.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Good Times\u2019 brings Lukas full circle, reconnecting him with the Irish heritage of his late father Eugene, a Donegal-born music lover who booked folk musicians throughout Scandinavia and helped introduce Lukas to the sounds and traditions that shaped his earliest relationship with music. After years of global success and life on the road, the album finds him returning to those roots with a collection that feels deeply personal and unmistakably his own.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lukas Graham - Good Times\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6QgmgNKA_mU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The album was first introduced with \u201cTo Know A Girl,\u201d a banjo-driven track paired with a soaring vocal and powerhouse chorus. He followed with \u201cSecond Chance,\u201d a foot-stomping anthem that channels the communal spirit of a front-porch hootenanny into a celebration of owning your mistakes and choosing to become a better version of yourself.<\/p>\n<p>The record was made with a rolling collective of musicians in Nashville and New York, many with personal ties to Eugene and the folk community Lukas grew up around. The lineup includes Michael McGoldrick on uilleann pipes and Irish flute, bassist Sam Grisman, Tim O\u2019Brien on mandolin and backing vocals, Stuart Duncan on fiddle, and Brian Sutton on guitar, grounding the album firmly in Celtic, bluegrass, and acoustic tradition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople my dad knew. People who had slept on a couch in my mum and dad\u2019s living room,\u201d Lukas explained. \u201cIt was very important to me that we got a hold of some of these musicians and got that cultural connection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lukas first achieved global fame with the 2015 breakout hit \u201c7 Years,\u201d a reflective ballad that earned 3 Grammy nominations, topped charts in more than 15 countries, and placed him among the first 25 artists in Spotify\u2019s Billions Club. Over the past decade, he\u2019s built a multi-platinum international career spanning 4 albums, including \u201cLove Someone,\u201d certified platinum in 18 countries. His work blends soul, pop, and deeply personal storytelling, exploring family, love, and resilience, from the loss of his father to becoming one himself.<\/p>\n<p>Known for his emotional depth and powerful live presence, Lukas has sold out tours across Europe, North America, and Asia, and performed on major stages including the Grammy Awards, MTV VMAs, and Good Morning America. This year, he joins Ed Sheeran as a special guest on select North American dates of the 2026 Loop Tour, beginning August 15 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Good Times Track Listing:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Good Times<br \/>Second Chance<br \/>Before You Go<br \/>To Know A Girl<br \/>Freetown Road<br \/>River Run<br \/>Falling<br \/>Carry Me Home<br \/>Days Like These<br \/>Rich Man<br \/>Nights I Won\u2019t Forget<br \/>Last Mile<br \/>Loved You Better<\/p>\n<p><strong>North American Tour Dates with Ed Sheeran:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Aug 15 \u2013 U.S. Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, MN<br \/>Aug 20, 21 &amp; 22 \u2013 Rogers Centre, Toronto, ON<br \/>Aug 29 \u2013 Ford Field, Detroit, MI<br \/>Sep 4 &amp; 5 \u2013 MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ<br \/>Sep 19 \u2013 Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA<br \/>Sep 25 &amp; 26 \u2013 Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, MA<br \/>Oct 3 \u2013 Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, GA<br \/>Oct 10 \u2013 Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, IN<br \/>Oct 17 \u2013 Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, NC<br \/>Oct 24 \u2013 AT&amp;T Stadium, Arlington, TX<br \/>Nov 7 \u2013 Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, FL<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.thatericalper.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Family and heritage sit at the centre of Lukas Graham\u2019s new song. \u201cGood Times\u201d is the spirited, roots-charged title track and opening song from his forthcoming 13-track album, \u2018Good Times,\u2019 out August 14 via Virgin Music Group.
