Welcome to Bjorn Vido and the Music in Space Experience.
We play concerts, make events, work with schools and governments.
The idea is to change the world through open and positive dialogue and creativity.
We have now been traveling the world on 4th year, with our show using music, visuals, art, talks and the interviews. Bringing new perspective to the climate debate. A big part of the concept is the lyrics in the songs. Almost all have a double meaning. So when we sing "She´s on fire" - it can mean "Super hot girl" or "The planet got a problem".

The Saddest of Songs - LIVE - JoBurg Theatre
High on Love
Astronauts get hit by a phenomenon called "The Overview Effect".
The pure beauty of our fragile small planet, flying alone in the big black space.
It makes them change their habits, to a greener behavior, when they return to Earth.
When I orbited the Earth in a spaceship,
I saw for the first time how beautiful our planet is.
Mankind, let us preserve and increase
this beauty, and not destroy it!
- Yuri Gagarin, Russian Cosmonaut
We are creating a new perspective, by sending a balloon into space while live-streaming the ascend to our music and visuals. Working with ”The Overview Effect".
LIVE SHOWS
Bjorn Vido and the Music in Space Experience is the audio-visual experience that will change your attitude towards our Planet in a deep profound way.
The project created and fronted by Bjørn Vidø and his crew of highly professional musicians and climate activists, are all on a mission: To do something radical for our planet now. With a filmic concert directing the focus on the pressing urgency of the global climate situation, we are aiming for a massive positive global impact.
DO SOMETHING NOW
While politicians, specialists and influencers try their best to get the message across and into the heads of people around the globe without much success,nothing communicates better than music. Music can - like no other medium - target people’s emotions and bridge the gap between pure CO2 statistics and the ignorance in most of us. This bridge is exactly what Music in Space is providing. A hugely entertaining live show combining Music and Visuals with the most important message to Us all. We can do it. It’s not too late. But we have to do it now. And with a positive attitude uniting the world.
LIVE
The live show is a spectacular mix of film and music, prerecorded interviews with real astronauts like Andreas Mogensen (ESA) and Mike Mullane (NASA), as well as, international politicians and global influencers. The LIVE show - is hugely entertaining, with catchy, well produced songs, that gets you and the audience instantly up on your feet, singing and dancing along with the music.
VISUALS
Visually, it’s outstanding. After 3 years of traveling and photographing the world, and months of editing, the scenic performance will spark important climate conversations, initiate changes for the audience and provide a great deal of publicity for your event. The perspectives and metaphors are mind blowing.
ASTRONAUT ANDREAS MOGENSEN
The Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen, is featured on a new hit single coming out soon, “Save Our Planet”. The song underlines Andreas´ wise words from an interview we did with him. He told of how his profound realisation from the international space station: ”looking down on Earth, it’s very clear that we have no plan B. There is no other place we can call home or move to”. Andreas was hit by The Overview Effect, which is the syndrome that Astronauts get while looking down at Earth from Space, wanting to help the planet. We can recreate that emotion. With this space show, we are creating the Overview Effect LIVE and on stage.
THE MUSIC
Music in Space is, at its heart, a classic album of catchy, newly written songs. They are international pop songs, drawing inspiration from modern day international stars such as the Weekend and Post Malone, and from Disco to the concept, art and style of Pink Floyd, the lyrics of David Bowie and the immense vocal harmonies of Queen. The music is a beautiful clash between electronic and acoustic instruments, fighting for attention, with the electric guitar virtuosically played by Bjørn and his International band.
PRACTICAL
Music in Space LIVE is: international pop music with a serious message. Musical inspirations includes classic musical heros like Pink Floyd, Bowie, Queen, AIR, Massive Attack, The Weeknd, XXXTentacion and Post Malone with a bit of Disco mixed in. You will get a spectacular visual LIVE show with the music supported by films from outer space. A weather balloon (if the venue supports it and authorizations are in place) transmits the live audio to the stratosphere at a height of 40 km. Performing Music in Space is a metaphor that we must take care of this little planet of ours.
It’s also possible to keep the balloon 100 meters above the concert venue, as a visual eye catcher to indicate that the festival or event is open.
