GRAMMY-nominated electronic artist ILLENIUM returns with “War,” a high-impact fan track featuring rising alternative singer-songwriter Lø Spirit out via Republic Records. Get it HERE. The release of “War” runs alongside the final reveal of special guests for ILLENIUM Presents ODYSSEY at Sphere in Las Vegas shows in March and April with Alok, Dab The Sky, Wooli, Levity, Audien, Ray Volpe, SLANDER, DJ Diesel and Tape B.

War” embodies a powerful moment of release and forward motion that blends indie rock, alt-pop, and raw emotional lyricism into a sound that feels both vulnerable and defiantly bold. The track delivers bright percussion, dynamic tension, and cinematic urgency, fusing intensity with atmosphere in a way that further defines ILLENIUM versatility as a producer and songwriter.

The track first sparked fan attention when ILLENIUM debuted it over Thanksgiving weekend at Apocalypse Festival in Long Beach, CA, where early clips quickly went viral online. The single follows a wave of major press support for the artist in recent weeks, including coverage from Billboard, Rolling Stone, Alternative Press, Dancing Astronaut, EDM.com, EDM Identity, and more.

“So excited to have my new single “War” with Lø Spirit out now. This one was an instant favorite since the rock edge is something I’ve always loved. It brings a darker, heavier energy that contrasts my other singles and adds a new dimension to the story of Odyssey,” says ILLENIUM.

“Super grateful to be a part of such a raw song. Being asked to sing this song with ILLENIUM was perfect timing for me. “War” ironically ran parallel with a lot of the chaos I was met with this year. Couldn’t be more excited to make something so visceral with one of the greats in the electronic space,” says Lø Spirit.

The release of “War” lands on the heels of ILLENIUM’s massive radio moment last week, as his single “Forever” achieved #1 on both Mediabase Dance and the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay charts. The momentum sets the stage for what will be one of the biggest years in ILLENIUM’s career. Up next, ILLENIUM will release his highly anticipated album ODYSSEY on February 6, 2026, a body of work that ushers in a new era of emotional storytelling, maximalist production, and expansive sonic world-building, followed by his  nine-night run of ODYSSEY shows at Sphere March 5, 6, 7, 12, 13 & 14 and April 2, 3 & 4. These shows mark the only opportunity for fans to experience ODYSSEY live.

ABOUT ILLENIUM:
ILLENIUM isn’t just a GRAMMY® Award-nominated multi-platinum artist, producer, and songwriter; he’s the architect of a living, breathing, and ever-expanding world. Based in Denver, ILLENIUM initially introduced himself back in 2013. Fueled by a boundary-breaking sound, he has notched three consecutive #1 debuts on the Billboard Top Dance/Electronic Albums Chart, beginning with the Gold-certified Ascend [2019], Fallen Embers [2021], and Il[2023]. Along the way, he delivered a string of smashes, including the 2x-Platinum “Good Things Fall Apart” [feat. Jon Bellion], Platinum “Feel Good” [feat. Daya] with Gryffin and “Takeaway” with The Chainsmokers, Gold-certified “In Your Arms” with X Ambassadors and “Crashing” [feat Bahari]. Fallen Embers received a GRAMMY® nomination in the category of “Best Dance/Electronic Music Album” and took home “Top Dance/Electronic Music Album” at the Billboard Music Awards. He’s established himself as a chameleonic presence collaborating with musicians across genres including Teddy Swims, JVKE, iann dior, Spiritbox, Tom DeLonge, Travis Barker, and Avril Lavigne.  Beyond igniting the stage at festivals such as Coachella and Lollapalooza, he entered the history books with his “Trilogy” stadium concert series. In 2021, he became “the first electronic dance music artist to headline a football stadium” when he took over Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Two years later, he led “the largest non-festival dance music concert in North America ever” at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. Finally, 2024 saw him pack two nights at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Joining forces with Republic Records, he welcomes all into the embrace of this world via a flurry of new music with more to come.

ABOUT LØ SPIRIT:
Lø Spirit is the sonic outlet of songwriter and producer Joshua Landry, an artist who turns internal battles into something vast, visceral, and deeply human. What began in 2022 as a personal coping mechanism, songs written in the dark corners of recovery and self-reckoning, has grown into a community that sees themselves in his words. His music feels like confession and catharsis at once: diaristic lyrics, poetic melodies, and a voice that resonates deeply.

Before releasing his own work, Lø Spirit captured hearts online as SadSongsOnly, reinterpreting artists like My Chemical Romance and Highly Suspect with a rawness that stopped people mid-scroll. When he shifted to originals, tracks like “Mind of Mine” and “Good Enough,” it became clear he wasn’t just covering emotion, he was living it and translating it.

Living with OCD, PTSD, MCAS, and anxiety, Lø writes not to escape the darkness but to meet it head-on and to make sure no one facing theirs has to feel alone. That honesty has carried him across a sold-out debut U.S. headline tour, festival stages at Sonic Temple and Welcome to Rockville, and on the road with The Struts. Behind the scenes, he’s also hit #1 as a writer and producer for artists like Papa Roach and Funeral Portrait.

With his newest single “Aløne” and more music on the way, Lø Spirit is carving out a space in alt-rock that’s both cinematic and intimate – an artist unafraid to feel deeply, speak plainly, and build a world where pain becomes connection.
