The Lumineers will perform in Prague. The biggest hits and new songs will be heard
There is something magical about the concerts of the American group The Lumineers, we still remember how during the last Prague performance the singer and composer Wesley Schultz walked directly among the fans in the sold-out Forum KarlĂn during the concert and sang the hit “Ophelia” unanimously with them. This Grammy-nominated folk-rock band from Colorado, USA, has written several similar hits, including the best-known “Ho Hey”. The Lumineers are returning to Prague after three years. In addition to a cross-section of older works, we can also look forward to completely new songs. They will perform in the Tipsport arena on February 1, 2022. Tickets (CZK 890 – CZK 1,590) will be on sale from May 27 at fource.cz and GoOut.cz, Ticketmaster and Ticketportal. The prize includes a contribution to support the Reverb organization, thanks to which the entire tour, under the banner of Climate Positive Touring, maintains a neutral carbon footprint. As with their albums, so at concerts, every note, every syllable and quiet moment between them has its reason and emotional charge. although The Lumineers are not afraid of difficult themes, there is always plenty of reconciliation and hope in their songs. It’s no wonder, then, that their fans include Barack Obama and U2, including singer Tom Petty.
“It was like a riddle I couldn’t solve, but I kept coming back to it in the writing process. It was a way to try to understand something, it’s probably not entirely clear.” Schultz revealed about writing texts on severe addictions, depression and dealing with death on the Descent of “III”. The Lumineers have finally moved away from their previous label of a carefree folk band such as Mumford & Sons, which was assigned to them by the media after the success of the first singles, and The Lumineers themselves did not feel very well in this box. They also spoke out loud about Donald Trump’s presidency, which they perceive as a dark time in which it was all the more necessary to hope and look for the human.
