Earlier this week a video with a sick dog named Kygo went viral. The handsome pup is a seven-year-old husky, malamute, poodle and collie mix who has been diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer. While dog Kygo is currently receiving radiation treatments, in the video, his owner advises that he “doesn't have much longer.”
The pup is of course named after the Norwegian electronic music producer, with the dog's owner also stating in the video: “I wish Kygo would meet him one day… All I want is for him to meet Kygo the DJ.”
“Does anyone know Kygo the DJ?” The video's host, Elias Weiss Friedman, founder of the dog-focused social channel The Dogist, tells the camera.
Apparently someone did, as a day after the video was posted, the producer wrote, “See you at Palm Tree Fest Hamptons… Can't wait to meet you” on the post. The comment has garnered nearly 24,000 likes since it was posted.
Reps for Kygo the DJ and Kygo the dog did not immediately respond to Billboard's request for comment.
This Kygos reunion will take place at the Palm Tree Music festival in The Hamptons on June 22nd. Kygo will headline the event alongside Swedish House Mafia, with Purple Disco Machine, Sofi Tukker and Xandra rounding out the bill.
The next iteration of the Palm Tree festival will take place in Lake Tahoe in July, with Kygo's manager Myles Shear saying Advertising sign in 2022 that the travel festival is a key element of the Kygo brand that aims not just to bring Kygo fans together in luxury travel destinations, but to “create an ecosystem” in which they can experience Kygo's boat-centric lifestyle and the beaches.
This time, at least, that audience will include both human and canine music lovers.
