GoodLuck LIVE Electronic BAND

BIOGRAPHY

Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, GoodLuck is one of the most exciting live-electronic bands who have consistently smashed out top 40 radio hits and high-energy live shows since 2013. As one of the country's most successful exports, the band has been touring the world with a clear focus to use their music as a force for good.

GoodLuck's music is madly diverse and continually evolving, it seems the duo (Jules & Ben) are constantly expanding their vision and creative ideas. Since the band's inception, GoodLuck has reached 27 x Top40 radio singles, 11 charting number-one radio singles and performed 1000’s of shows around the world.

The band has sold out shows across South Africa, The UK, Germany, The Netherlands, Namibia and Vietnam. They founded and produced their own summer festival series Get Lucky Summer as well as their music & safari festival Beats in the Bush which have grown to sell around 25 000 tickets every year. You’d understand why there’s such ardent support when you see their live show. Simply put, it’s crazy. I would challenge anyone to try and not dance when GOODLUCK is performing. It is high-energy, high engagement and a whirlwind of saxophone, keyboards and the maddest array of electronic instruments that all create a backdrop for Jules (the dynamic lead vocalist).

In some ways, GoodLuck is the best-kept secret. An act that has performed alongside some of the top artists in the world (like Pharrell Williams, Groove Armada, Martin Garrix, Lost Frequencies, Basement Jaxx, Jungle and more) and still control the underground hype of the undiscovered gem.

As GoodLuck prepare for the next phase of their career, the band keeps true to the core of who they are and why they exist. "We know that if we keep writing great songs that can help people through all the chaos in life and if we can keep us all dancing... everything else will fall into place."
