Step back to 2013 and witness The Lumineers as they command the stage at London's iconic Roundhouse for the iTunes Festival. Riding the massive wave of success from their self-titled debut album released the previous year, the Denver-based folk-rock outfit delivered a performance brimming with raw energy and heartfelt sincerity. This concert captures the band at a pivotal moment, solidifying their status as global stars.
The setlist is a journey through their breakout record, featuring the worldwide smash hit 'Ho Hey,' which had the entire venue singing along, as well as fan favorites like the anthemic 'Stubborn Love' and the driving 'Big Parade.' Beyond their own material, the band pays homage to their roots with a spirited cover of Bob Dylan's 'Subterranean Homesick Blues.' Throughout the show, Wesley Schultz's impassioned vocals and the band's multi-instrumental talents create an atmosphere that is both intimate and explosive. This performance is a perfect snapshot of The Lumineers' earnest charm and their ability to connect with an audience on a deeply personal level, turning a large venue into a communal, foot-stomping celebration.
