The Lumineers announced today a 2020 headlining North American tour of arenas and amphitheatres. The tour dates are in support of their upcoming album III out Sept. 13 on Dualtone. Mt. Joy, who recently emerged as “a fast and furious 21st century success story” (Magnet), has been added as support for multiple dates.
On April 29, 2019, mere days after tickets went on sale Billboard announced that this massive anniversary festival has been cancelled.
On May 15, 2019, the Supreme Court of New York overturned the cancellation. The show will go on as planned!
What do you get when you spend ten days at Vancouver’ Warehouse Studio with talent like Alan Doyle? Well, when you ask him, he will tell you all about his appropriately named album A Week at the Warehouse. With an old school way of making this record, he had his whole band, (affectionately named “the Beautiful, Beautiful Band”), set up within the studio to do full recordings together. This created a fun environment for the musicians to record in, and an interesting space for the album to grow from.
The Lumineers graced Ottawa with their presence for the second time within a year promoting their latest album Cleopatra, this time in freezing cold March weather compared to last summer’s rainy and sweaty Bluesfest show, and brought along two fantastic bands to open with.
Until today Ottawa’s own RBC Royal Bank Bluesfest had the lineup of the summer, then just after noon on Tuesday March 15 the Festival d’été de Quebec dropped a bombshell lineup that includes some of the biggest names under the sun.
Monday night Bluesfest TAG treated us to the first 10 acts of the 2016 lineup of RBC Royal Bank Ottawa Bluesfest lead by Sam Hunt. Tuesday morning, at midnight, the rest of the monster lineup was unveiled, and it packs a punch!
