New York, NY – Internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Lukas Graham has announced his forthcoming studio album, Good Times, arriving August 14th via Virgin Music Group. Built on reflection, heritage, and hard-won perspective, Good Times finds Lukas Graham leaning into the Celtic and folk traditions that shaped his upbringing in Copenhagen. A full tracklisting is included below. Pre-order/Pre-save HERE.  

To herald the announcement, he has shared his new single “Second Chance,” an infectious, foot-stomping anthem that channels the communal spirit of a front-porch hootenanny into a celebration of owning your mistakes, embracing renewal, and striving to become a better version of yourself. “Second Chance” is available now on all streaming platforms, with the official music video now streaming on his official YouTube channel. Listen HERE.

Good Times 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 Lukas returning to those roots with a collection that feels deeply personal and unmistakably his own.

The album was recorded with a rolling collective of musicians in Nashville and New York, many of whom had a personal connection to Eugene and the folk community Lukas grew up around. The players include Michael McGoldrick, one of the world’s great uilleann pipe and Irish flute players; bassist Sam Grisman; Tim O’Brien on mandolin and backing vocals; Stuart Duncan on fiddle; and Brian Sutton on guitar — a lineup that roots the album in the Celtic, bluegrass and acoustic traditions Lukas grew up around.  “People my dad knew. People who had slept on a couch in my mum and dad’s living room,” Lukas explained. “It was very important to me that we got a hold of some of these musicians and got that cultural connection.

Last month, he shared the first offering from the new project, “To Know a Girl,” an unapologetic, banjo-driven folk-pop anthem built around a soaring chorus and a powerhouse vocal. Lukas describes it as “short and sweet” but purposefully bold, introducing listeners to a new sonic chapter while remaining unmistakably Lukas Graham. 

The GRAMMY-nominated Danish soul-pop artist first achieved global fame with the 2015 breakout hit “7 Years” — a reflective ballad that earned three GRAMMY nominations, topped charts in more than 15 countries, and placed him among the first 25 artists in Spotify’s Billions Club. Over the past decade, he has built a multi-platinum international career spanning four albums, with hits including “Love Someone,” certified platinum in 18 countries. His work blends soul, pop, and deeply personal storytelling, exploring themes of family, love, and resilience — from the loss of his father to becoming one himself.

Known for his emotional depth and powerful live presence, Lukas Graham 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 will join 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, MN — for a full list of dates, see below.
