Alan Walker, the masked Norwegian producer behind “Faded”, made his Alexandra Palace debut in the Great Hall in Wood Green on Saturday 22 March 2025. Vikkstar, Anne Gudrun and Robin Packalen shared the bill.
Born in Northampton in 1997 and raised in Fana, Bergen, Walker began making music around 2012 as a bedroom producer. He posted tracks to YouTube and SoundCloud as Walkzz, and he signed to NoCopyrightSounds at seventeen.
“Faded” came out in December 2015, reached number 80 on the US Hot 100 and went triple platinum. “All Falls Down” reached number one on the US Dance Club Songs chart in 2017. His debut album, Different World, topped the Norwegian and Finnish charts.
Walker values his anonymity and plays in a hoodie and mask. His sound is house music built on large, emotional melodies, and six of his singles have reached number one in Norway.
He brought the Walkerworld tour, named for his 2023 album, to one of the largest indoor rooms in north London. The Great Hall holds around ten thousand. The album’s sequel, Walkerworld 2.0, appeared later in 2025.
