New deluxe edition vinyl available later this year
The Lumineers are celebrating the 10th anniversary of their 3x RIAA platinum certified self-titled debut album with a very special deluxe vinyl edition set to arrive later this year. The upcoming vinyl release of The Lumineers will include six additional bonus tracks and will be available in a number of colored variants, with a limited number of signed copies available in the US and Canada via Dualtone and Decca Records for the rest of the world, and the band’s official webstore.
Released April 3, 2012, The Lumineers proved a landmark debut for The Lumineers, rising to No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on multiple Billboard charts. Among its many global achievements, the album earned 3x RIAA platinum certification in the US as well as 4x platinum in Canada, and platinum in Australia, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. Moreover, both “Stubborn Love” and “Ho Hey” were awarded RIAA platinum, with the latter spending 18 non-consecutive weeks atop Billboard’s Rock Songs chart, along with two weeks in the top spot on Alternative Songs, and eight weeks at No. 1 on Adult Pop Songs. What’s more, “Ho Hey” reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking The Lumineers’ first time on that chart as well as the first top 5 hit. The single continued to triumph well into 2013, eventually landing at No. 1 on Billboard’s year-end Adult Contemporary Songs and Adult Pop Songs tallies.
“The truth is,” says The Lumineers’ co-founder/co-songwriter Wesley Schultz, “this album came from two Jersey boys from the same hometown, obsessively writing music together and gigging in New York for five years before doing what everyone told us not to do – we LEFT New York to ‘make it’ by moving to Denver, Colorado. After a few years in Denver and hundreds of demos, open mics, house shows, and club gigs, something finally broke our way. This album is those seven years of toil and joy, poured into a raw collection of songs that sound so perfectly imperfect, as we all are…”
New tour dates, and one rescheduled date for The Lumineers’ hugely anticipated Brightside World Tour, have also been announced. The trek is set to begin May 17th at Jacksonville’s Daily’s Place and then continue through early September. New dates include San Jose on July 30th, Orlando on August 23rd, and Savannah, GA on August 24th. In addition, Grand Rapids, MI’s Van Andel Arena, previously scheduled for September 6th, will now take place on July 8th, with special guest Ashe replacing James Bay as support. Special guests throughout the tour will include Caamp, Gregory Alan Isakov, Daniel Rodriguez, and James Bay in select cities.

The Brightside World Tour celebrates the recent arrival of the Lumineers’ eagerly anticipated new album, Brightside, available now via Dualtone in the US & Canada and Decca Records for the rest of the world. The 2x GRAMMY Award-nominated band’s fourth studio album, Brightside includes such new favorites as “AM Radio,” “Big Shot,” “Where We Are,” and the chart-topping first single and title track, “Brightside,” all joined by official music videos streaming now at YouTube.
Brightside made No. 1 debuts on Billboard’s Top Alternative Albums and Top Rock Albums charts upon its January 14th release while also entering among the top 10 on the overall Billboard 200. In addition, “Brightside” recently made history by ascending to No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative National Airplay and Adult Alternative Airplay charts – the band’s sixth time atop the latter ranking in less than ten years. The Lumineers now boast the most No. 1 singles among all acts on that chart in the span since achieving their first AAA chart-topper in 2012.
