MORE ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Lindsey Stirling is an electronic music impresario, classically trained violinist, dancer, and artist who has quietly and humbly become one of the 21st century’s most innovative stars by clinging to her groundbreaking vision of cinematic violin-driven electronic music. After bowing at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 and #1 on the Dance/Electronic Album Chart, holding #1 on the Classical Album Chart for 21 consecutive weeks, and receiving a Billboard Music Award for “Top Dance/Electronic Album,” her sophomore opus Shatter Me not only garnered an RIAA Gold certification, but also ranked as the #2 Dance/Electronic Album and #1 Classical Album on Billboard’s 2015 Year-End charts. Attracting nearly 8 million subscribers and 1.3 billion-plus views on YouTube by 2016, Forbes placed Lindsey at #4 on its yearly YouTube artists list, making her the highest-ranked female. Her headline tours amassed a cumulative audience of over 500,000 people worldwide, and her literary debut The Only Pirate at the Party—co-written with her sister Brook S. Passey—became a New York Times Bestseller.
Dan & Phil cemented their status as Australia’s favourite adopted sons after their SOLD OUT 2016 ‘The Amazing Tour Is Not On Fire’. Since uploading their first ever videos aged 18 and 19, Dan & Phil have become two of the worlds biggest YouTube stars. Their large and loyal fan-base love their observations on the Internet, awkward anecdotes and home life as flatmates in London. In September 2014, the boys launched a gaming focused YouTube channel ‘DanAndPhilGAMES’, and promptly gained 700,000 subscribers in 24 hours – the fastest channel launch ever on YouTube.
