The Lumineers
It took four years for The Lumineers to follow up their self-titled debut – which spent 46 weeks on the Billboard 200, peaking at #2 and sold 3 million copies worldwide – but Cleopatra is well worth the wait. After exploding onto the scene with their monster single, “Ho Hey” (which spent a staggering 62 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #3) The Lumineers spent a solid three years touring six of the seven continents, including a sell out show at London’s Alexandra Palace.
Cleopatra was released in April 2016 and debuted at no.1 on the US Billboard Chart and the UK Official Album Chart, as well as hitting the no.1 spot on iTunes in over 20 countries. The band’s first UK tour on the record sold out in a day, and they played to huge crowds at Glastonbury and Latitude festival, with the latter performance earning a nomination for Best Festival Performance 2016 at the Live UK Music Business awards.
