Illenium is gearing up for his forthcoming third album ASCEND — and he’s planning something very special for fans along with the release.

Not only will the full album stream live on YouTube, Illenium is joining to chat with everyone tuning in. It’s definitely a cool concept to have Illenium and his fans experiencing ASCEND together for the first time.

ASCEND is totally stacked, by the way. Previous singles “Good Things Fall Apart,” “Takeaway,” “Pray,” “Take You Down,” “Crashing” and “Blood” with Foy Vance will be included. Plus, collaborations with Georgia Ku, Echos, Said The Sky & Annika Wells, X Ambassadors, Gekiin, Blanke & Bipolar Sunshine, Anna Clendening, and Chandler Leighton.

In the Twitter post below, Illenium shares the details: “Listen to ASCEND with me as soon as it’s released on @YouTube this Friday! I’ll be chatting with you all as we listen for the first time together. Can’t wait for everyone to hear the album.”

The ASCEND first listen and fan chat goes down August 16th at 12 am EST.
