==================================
GALA乐队虽然今年的最新单曲叫《出道四年》，但其实这个由四个年轻人组成的乐队，出道已经七年了。GALA乐队成立于2004年的北京，他们的音乐由充满热情和轻快的旋律编织而成，毫不掩饰地向所有人传达他们的桀骜不逊，以及年轻人特有的冲劲和张扬； 他们的曲风令人愉悦，歌词也充满乐趣，做的是能让你感到美好，忍不住会心一笑的音乐。
成立之初发行的专辑《YOUNG FOR YOU》，是对他们音乐态度最恰如其分的标题，也是这支乐队的个性宣言。乐队在这之后被乐迷所熟知，也获得了不少音乐人的欣赏与肯定。 2006年，乐队被滚石杂志评为“中国最好的Power Pop乐队”；08年，《YOUNG FOR YOU》发行了珍藏版。而去年的GALA也向歌迷交出了不错的成绩单，他们参加了东乐群星齐聚跨年Party, 无限星空音乐节，豆瓣音乐人在三个月内就突破11000人。之后，一首《水手公园》被收录在红牛新能量音乐计划《张亚东自选辑》中，新单曲《飞行员之歌》也成了乐迷间津津乐道的话题。
今年的《觉》音乐+艺术节，有了GALA的助阵后更是增加了一股一往无前年轻力量。正如他们歌曲所传达的那样——“出道四年，梦未改变，昂首阔步，碧海蓝天”，GALA一直追逐梦想不曾放弃的精神是所有年轻人的榜样，这次，歌迷们可以在这个春天体验到GALA新专辑带来的像戛纳果一般清脆爽快的感受， 重温并期许他们带来的那份简单快乐的年轻时光。
