The Lumineers Brightside World Tour announces Cardiff date in summer 2023

The Lumineers

The Lumineers BRIGHTSIDE World Tour has announced dates in Europe and the UK – including a Friday night headline at Cardiff Castle on July 7th 2023.

The BRIGHTSIDE World Tour Europe and UK tour dates announcement is preceded by the band’s successful North American run which saw the group headlining stadiums in the U.S. playing to over 40,000 fans per night – as well as a UK arena tour which included a sold-out date at London’s The O2.

“We are so excited to return to Europe and the UK again and to reconnect with our amazing fans. We’ll see you out there!” – The Lumineers

The Lumineers are being brought to Cardiff by DEPOT Live, the live-events arm of The DEPOT – one of Cardiff’s most successful events venues. Tickets will go on sale on Friday 11th November; for presale access on Thursday 10th November, sign up now at:  https://7p9mr93o.sibpages.com/

The BRIGHTSIDE World Tour celebrates The Lumineers’ fourth studio album, BRIGHTSIDE, available now via Decca Records. The 2x GRAMMY® Award-nominated band’s latest release includes such  new favorites as “A.M. RADIO,” “BIG SHOT,” “WHERE WE ARE,” and the chart-topping first single and title track, “BRIGHTSIDE.” “BRIGHTSIDE” recently made history by ascending to #1 on Billboard’s “Alternative National Airplay” and “Adult Alternative Airplay” charts – the band’s sixth time atop the latter ranking in less than 10 years. The Lumineers now boast the most #1 singles among all acts on that chart in the span since achieving their first AAA chart-topper in 2012.

After forming as a duo comprising vocalist/guitarist Wesley Schultz and percussionist/pianist Jeremiah Fraites in 2005, The Lumineers first found their way onto the global music scene in 2012, with their Platinum-selling self-titled debut album boasting the massive “Ho Hey” which would top charts around the world. The group would follow up their debut in 2016 with Cleopatra, which would not only reach #2 in the ARIA Singles Charts, but also amass more than 116 million streams globally.  All three albums, including III, smashed into the top 10 in the UK, with 2016’s ‘Cleopatra’ hitting the #1 spot on both sides of the Atlantic and is also en route to RIAA platinum status.

After successfully creating the world’s first major climate positive tour in 2020, The Lumineers along with their management Activist Artists Management are proud to continue their partnership with environmental non-profit REVERB.org, on this year’s tour. The band has committed to a comprehensive climate action program via REVERB’s Music Climate Revolution campaign, which, in addition to reducing the tour’s environmental footprint and engaging fans to take action at the shows, will support projects that directly and measurably eliminate greenhouse gases while benefitting diverse global communities. These efforts will make the tour climate positive; eliminating significantly more greenhouse gas pollution than the tour emits including fan travel to and from shows.
