Chart-topping folk-rockers The Lumineers are set to light up Rockhal on 6 May, bringing their stripped-back sound and anthemic storytelling to Luxembourg for the first time since 2016.
With 24 number-one hits across various radio formats and a string of platinum albums, The Lumineers have gone from playing open mics to selling out stadiums and they're doing it on their own terms. The band made their international breakthrough with 2012's Ho Hey, and haven't looked back since. Their 2016 follow-up Cleopatra debuted at number one in the US, Canada and UK, powered by hits like Ophelia, which has now racked up over a billion streams on Spotify.
Ahead of the Rockhal show, drummer and co-founder Jeremiah Fraites sat down with Today Radio to talk about the band’s journey and what fans can expect from their new album Automatic, which the current tour is built around.
"We're really excited to be back on the road, and bringing these songs to life in front of people again. We're starting in Europe, then it’s the US, and eventually even Australia and South Africa."
Despite their global stature, Automatic sees the band returning to the more intimate feel that won over fans in the first place. "Even though it's acoustic at its core, it feels like a departure," Jeremiah explained. "Some songs are built around drums, others piano but it all came together in just 21 working days in the studio."
That raw energy carries into their live show, which has grown massively in scale. The band's last world tour sold over 1.1 million tickets, with sold-out stadium shows included. But for all the size, The Lumineers remain grounded, still focused on emotional connection and simplicity something that’s clear in both their recordings and performances.
Their most recent collaborations include work with artists like P!nk, Zach Bryan, Noah Kahan, and James Bay, highlighting how their music has crossed genre lines while staying unmistakably theirs.
Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the band’s sound, 6 May at Rockhal promises to be a special night and a rare opportunity to see one of the biggest bands in the world deliver music that still feels handmade.
Today Radio will also be giving away tickets to the show on 23 April, so tune in to be in with a chance to win.
