Live music is back, baby! The world’s biggest artists are finally making their way back to Mzansi and The Lumineers are the latest international act to confirm a South African tour. The group will be bringing their ‘BRIGHTSIDE’ tour to Cape Town and Pretoria towards the end of the year – and it promises to be one of their greatest tours yet.
The 2x GRAMMY® Award-nominated will be performing two shows, Wednesday 30th November 2022 at the Grand Arena, GrandWest, and Friday 2nd December 2022 at the SunBet Arena, Time Square, Pretoria. These dates mark the band’s anticipated return to South Africa and celebrates their fourth studio album, BRIGHTSIDE which includes such new favourites as “A.M. RADIO,” “BIG SHOT,” “WHERE WE ARE,” and the chart-topping first single and title track, “BRIGHTSIDE”.
Behind the band’s many smash hits, ‘Ho Hey’, ‘Ophelia’, ‘Stubborn Love’ and ‘Gloria’ to name a few, their widespread success is also credited to their spirited live shows and this tour is set to be no different. The Lumineers will be performing songs from their new album plus hits across all their albums.
Produced by longtime collaborator Simone Felice and produced, mixed, and engineered by David Baron over two sessions in winter and spring 2021 at Baron’s Sun Mountain Studios in bucolic Boiceville, NY, BRIGHTSIDE marks The Lumineers’ first new music in more than two years. The nine-song collection sees The Lumineers’ co-founders/co-songwriters Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites performing virtually all of the eclectic, effervescent instrumentation, with Baron on a wide variety of keyboards and backing vocals and more by Simone Felice, touring members Byron Isaacs and Lauren Jacobson, famed backing singer Cindy Mizelle (Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews Band), The Felice Brothers’ James Felice, and acclaimed singer-songwriter Diana DeMuth. BRIGHTSIDE is available now via Dualtone in the U.S. & Canada and Decca Records for the rest of the world.
