The track has delivered a cultural impact beyond anyone’s wildest expectations,breaking-the-internet a gazillion times through a series of iconic memes.

Cue another majormilestone with ‘Shooting Stars’ cracking the Top 50 Most Shazamed Songs in the world.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Original music continued to flow with two standout collaborations via Future Classic: the euphoric house heater SAVE ME with French producer Boston Bun, and the introspective, slow-burning gem Flowers with Panama.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Since day one, Bag Raiders have toured relentlessly —bringing their dynamic live show and euphoric DJ sets to every corner of the globe. From 30-date North American bus tours to European, Asian, and South American adventures, they’ve sold out tours year after year across Australia, supported legends like Duran Duran and Chic/Nile Rodgers in stadiums, and played to massive festival crowds at Ultra Music Festival, Splendour in the Grass, CRSSD, Bestival, Lovebox, TomorrowWorld, EDC Mexico, Parklife, Melt, and Beyond the Valley. From the over-ground plays to theunderground raves, they’ve always kept one foot in the club and one eye on the future —with DJ sets across the world, livestreams for Mixmag, and remixes for luminaries like Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Banks, Riton, PNAU, The Jungle Giants, and Crooked Colours.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>In 2025 and beyond,Bag Raiders are locked in for a relentless release schedule of club weapons —kicking off with Hold Me, forthcoming on UK label The Cross Records.</strong></p>
