Walk off the Earth in Lausanne

Walk off the Earth is a Canadian band formed in Burlington, Ontario, in 2006. The group plays pop and indie rock with reggae and ska in its repertoire, and became widely known through a video in which five members performed Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know” on a single guitar. Its original songs include “Red Hands” and “Rule the World,” while R.E.V.O. and Sing It All Away are among its best-known albums. The 2015 Sing It All Away Tour took the band to theatres and festivals in North America and Europe. Four years later, Walk off the Earth performed “O Canada” before Game 4 of the NBA Finals at Oracle Arena in Oakland. Their concerts are full-band performances in which members exchange instruments and combine guitars, keyboards and percussion. A central set piece recreates the five-musician, one-guitar arrangement of “Somebody That I Used to Know” by Gotye.

Crash Adams are a Canadian pop duo formed in 2019 by childhood friends Rafaele Massarelli and Vince Sasso. Their bright pop-rock songs and short-form performance videos built an audience around tracks including “Give Me a Kiss,” “Destination” and “Lucky.” Crash Adams began taking a red couch into public spaces around Toronto, where they performed and invited passers-by to join the songs. The duo later brought that repertoire to club stages on the Finding the Crash Adams Tour.
