The upcoming tour celebrates the arrival of The Lumineers’ hugely anticipated new album, Automatic, available via Dualtone worldwide on Friday, February 14. Pre-orders are available now. “Same Old Song,” the first single from the album, is proving to be the fastest-rising single of the band’s career. It’s currently #4 at AAA and #6 at Alternative radio in the States, while achieving #4 at Alternative and #14 at Active Rock in Canada, cementing The Lumineers’ continued impact on the modern music landscape.

On top of their own shows, The Lumineers will headline upcoming festivals including Tempe, AZ’s Extra Innings Festival (February 28), Louisville, KY’s Bourbon & Beyond (September 11-14), and Richmond, VA’s Iron Blossom Music Festival (September 20-21).
Additionally, The Lumineers will celebrate the Valentine’s Day release of Automatic with a special late-night TV performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, airing tomorrow, February 13, on NBC (check local listings).
After twenty years of musical partnership, Automatic finds Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites traveling new sonic and thematic terrain with their most raw and personal collection thus far. Both men, now dads, fully embraced the life-altering, unromantic challenges and rewards of family life. When they reconvened to write, the emerging songs featured a new, aching vulnerability, sly humor, and bold acknowledgments of need – for love, respect, and connection in an increasingly chaotic world.
Inspired by Peter Jackson’s 2021 Beatles documentary Get Back, the band, with the help of co-producers David Baron and Simone Felice, set up shop in the expansive tracking room at Woodstock’s Utopia Studio. Multiple set-ups – with two sets of drums, three different pianos, and an array of amps, guitars, vocal mics – were laid out, allowing the musicians to pivot and capture as much as possible with minimal delay. The process further freed The Lumineers to perform the songs as a unit, allowing the band to capture the raw, organic presentation of the anthemic new tracks. For the first time on a Lumineers album, the band is credited as co-producers alongside Felice and Baron, who also engineered and mixed, as he did on the band’s last two albums.
Recorded in less than a month, the album, as Schultz says, feels “very much of this era.” While songs like the self-effacing “Asshole” and the spartan, wry “Better Day” reveal a risky intimacy and heretofore untapped undercurrent of humor, Automatic remains what fans around the world have come to love about The Lumineers – shadowy themes wrapped in upbeat, infectious melodies, sky-high choruses destined to be sung by tens of thousands each night on the road, and what Fraites calls “a palpable sense of connection between Wes and me. There’s lots of love on this record.”

Beck Announces Ride Lonesome Single & Tour
Yesterday, eight-time GRAMMY winner Beck unveiled the stunning new surprise single, “Ride Lonesome.”
Today, Beck follows that hypnotically sublime ballad with the announcement of the Ride Lonesome Tour, a 25-date trek stopping at some of North America’s most renowned theaters and amphitheaters.
The Ride Lonesome Tour, promoted by Live Nation, will kick off September 16 at Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Theatre, with stops including the Santa Barbara Bowl, the Greek in L.A., Red Rocks, two nights each at The Masonic in SF, Massey Hall in Toronto and the Brooklyn Paramount, and more, before concluding October 31 at The Truth in Nashville.
Tickets for Beck’s Ride Lonesome Tour go on sale Friday, April 24 at 10am local time. For further information, go to Beck.com.
Produced by Beck and Mixed by Nigel Godrich, the song “Ride Lonesome” evokes the beautiful and haunting sonic landscapes and textures of 2015 Album of the Year GRAMMY winner Morning Phase and its spiritual predecessor, 2002’s classic Sea Change—and features multiple musicians who played on those milestone releases. From the resonant acoustic guitar strains of its opening to the emotional peaks of its final chorus, this long-awaited new original composition is the first indication of a different yet familiar direction for Beck in the year ahead.
Citi is the official card of the Beck: Ride Lonesome Tour. Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning Tuesday, April 21 at 11am local time until Thursday, April 23 at 10pm local time through the Citi Entertainment program. For complete presale details visit www.citientertainment.com.
