EPK | PSYCHEDELIC SINGALONG

THE STORY

In a crowded landscape of festival acts, Psychedelic Singalong stands out as a revolutionary pioneer. This one-of-a-kind live mashup show offers a completely immersive experience where the audience not only sings along to the greatest hit songs of all-time, but some of them also get to join the show on stage. This unique opportunity creates priceless and euphoric moments, making it an absolute must-have for any festival.

Five years in the making, Psychedelic Singalong finally debuted at Envision Festival in Costa Rica in 2023, captivating audiences with its innovative blend of music and spectacle.

Led by award-winning jazz singer turned electronic music producer Gary Underpants (a.k.a. Adam James), and accompanied by professional female dancers, Psychedelic Singalong celebrates six decades of hit songs in a trippy, fun, and interactive way. Laxmi Sylvie Dady, one of the curators of Oregon Country Fair, describes it as “a joyous experience that brings everyone together in celebration and silliness. This was my favorite show at this whole festival.”

Some of the mind-bending mashups are: The Eurythmics mega hit, “Sweet Dreams” overtop of Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition.” And then the Beatles “Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds’ becomes a sensual funky vibe provided by Galimatias and Alina Baraz’ “Fantasy.” Then there’s the female power medley where Gary asks the ladies to join him onstage to sing Rihanna’s number one hit “Only Girl In The World,” accompanied by Earth Wind and Fire’s anthem, “September.”

Don't miss the chance to add this unique and inclusive celebration of humanity and music to your festival lineup!
