Watch the video, directed by KILLDEATH , edited at Mad Decent/TMWRK studios by Kyle Depinna and Sean Dwyer and featuring Scott, here. “Night Riders” is taken from the group’s critically acclaimed Peace Is The Mission.
Major Lazer is playing shows worldwide this summer with headlining sets at Coachella, Panorama, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Firefly, Parklife, Rock am Ring and Rock im Park and more. The group is working on new music set for release later this year.
