PENTATONIX - CATCHING UP MATT SALLEE and KEVIN OLUSOLA
/
Get ready for a ton of new stuff coming from everyone’s favorite Acapella group, Pentatonix.
Fresh off of Hollywood Boulevard where a cappella group Pentatonix received a Hollywood Walk of Fame star, the three-time Grammy-winning quintet announced that they will be embarking on a North American Tour with very special guest Lauren Alaina.
Since emerging in 2011, Pentatonix have become the most innovative, inventive, and inimitable vocal groups of all time, and have released a number of successful albums, earning nominations for Grammys, Emmys, and Billboard Music Awards along the way. Pentatonix is set to embark on their North American tour across 23 cities this Aug 9 in Jacksonville, FL and will play amphitheaters in Tampa; FL, Toronto, ON; Phoenix, AZ and many more before wrapping the tour on Sept 14 in Ridgefield, WA.

The three-time GRAMMY® Award-winning and Daytime EMMY® Award-nominated vocal quintet - Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstin Maldonado, Kevin Olusola, and Matt Sallee - have reached unprecedented heights, toppling charts, selling 10 million albums worldwide, generating billions of streams, and performing everywhere from The White House and Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to The Hollywood Bowl.
Their catalog boasts back-to-back #1 albums on the Billboard 200, namely the gold-certified "Pentatonix" [2015] and platinum-certified "A Pentatonix Christmas" [2016]. They notably made history as “the first a cappella act to win ‘Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella’ at the GRAMMY® Awards” in 2015 and 2016. A year later, they earned another GRAMMY® Award in the category “Best Country Duo/Group Performance” for their duet with Dolly Parton on her song “Jolene.”
They have collaborated with Kelly Clarkson, Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, and Lindsey Stirling, to name a few. Following 2021’s "Evergreen," which tallied over 100 million streams, they launched one of their biggest tours to date, Pentatonix: The Evergreen Christmas Tour. Pentatonix’s most recent album, “Holidays Around the World,” was released on October 28, 2022 and marked the group’s ninth Top 10 entry on Billboard’s Top Holiday Albums Chart. The group closed out 2022 with the completion of their largest U.S. arena tour to date.
