Background and history

The band was formed in Dublin by Michael Pope, David McGloughlin, Anthony Hyland and Alastair Higgins, all four having previously played in guitar-based alternative rock band 66e.[5]

They played their first show as Le Galaxie in The Boom Boom Room in 2008, followed by regular sets in Whelan's,[1] Crawdaddy and the Button Factory. As the band's audience grew, Le Galaxie's reputation as a live act has seen them headline Irish festivals such as Sea Sessions, Body & Soul Music Festival and Castlepalooza, and have performed at Secret Garden Party, The Great Escape Festival, Midem, Electric Picnic, SXSW, CMJ, Europavox and Longitude Festival.

In 2016, they announced a string of European dates at festivals such as Lovebox and Fiberfib-Benicassim. They were also announced as tour support for Faithless.
