The Lumineers are currently on a huge world tour which included five massive arena shows across the UK earlier this year.

Second album CLEOPATRA debuted at Number One in America, Canada, and the UK while third album, the cinematic and inventive follow up III – which included the singles Life In The City and the multi-chart topping hit Gloria – proved a critical and popular phenomenon upon its release in 2019.
Fourth album BRIGHTSIDE, released earlier this year, spawned singles Big Shot and A.M. Radio. Having played the UK, Europe and North America, their BRIGHTSIDE World Tour now heads to Australia, New Zealand and Asia.
Live at The Piece Hall – held in the historic venue’s iconic open air courtyard – continues to go from strength to strength.
This summer’s series of shows smashed box office records as close to 60,000 music fans saw headline shows from the likes of Duran Duran, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Paloma Faith and Tom Jones.
