‘Fireflies’ was of course that megahit by America's Owl City, the project of musician Adam Young. At the time he was often compared musically with The Postal Service (the indietronica project of Death Cab For Cutie singer Ben Gibbard and producer Jimmy Tamborello from Dntel) but then with a distinct pop-chart feel. Young made his synthpop in the basement of his parent's house and then spread it via social-network site MySpace. His songs were so popular that Universal Music promptly offered him a lucrative contract. He released his third album ‘Ocean Eyes’ on that major label in 2009, on it you can find the aforementioned ‘Fireflies’. We just recently saw the release of ‘Alligator Sky’, the first single from album ‘All Things Bright And Beautiful’ which should be out on June 14. On that album Young experiments less with electronica and works with guitar and piano too.

Owl City will bring along 2 support acts.

British duo Long Lost Sun consists of Sarah Russell and Jethro East and makes alternative but sugary-sweet pop songs. They also provided a nice remix of Owl City’s ‘Umbrella Beach’.
Unicorn Kid is the nom de plume of young Scottish producer Oliver Sabin. He makes 8-bit dance music (think first-generation video game soundtracks) with a big wink to genres like dubstep. Has already shared stages with an extremely diverse list of musicians like Crystal Castles, Hadouken! and Pet Shop Boys. He's also provided official remixes for the Pet Shop Boys and for Gorillaz.
