If you’ve ever been to a Lumineers gig, you already know it’s not just a bunch of songs strung together Even though thousands of other people are joining in on the singing, you feel as though you have been invited into their living room on this very night. “Okay, but how long are they actually on stage?” is one of the first queries fans have when their 2024 tour begins. It’s a fair question, especially if you’re travelling or have work the next day.
What You Can Expect Time-Wise
Most of the time, they’ll play for somewhere between an hour and 45 minutes to about two hours. In addition to a few songs that only true fans will recognise, it is enough time to get through the major hits like Ho Hey, Ophelia, and Cleopatra. They are adept at alternating the stomp-your-feet moments with the slower, more emotive parts to keep you interested throughout.
Why It Feels Like More Than Just Two Hours
They’re not a “play the song and leave” kind of band . Wesley may interject a brief anecdote from their early days or explain the inspiration for a lyric. They occasionally move into the centre of the audience and perform a song entirely unplugged, which immediately gives the event a more intimate vibe. Time flies because of small details like that.
What’s Different About the 2024 Shows
They have a number of songs from the new album on the set list for this tour, but they’re also wise enough to include some crowd-pleasers. Nothing is too extravagant, simply lights and images that complement the mood of the music, and the stage arrangement still has that cosy, almost rustic feel. It feels little in the greatest sense, even in large arenas.
Bottom Line for Anyone Going
You could expect to leave The Lumineers this year with a scratchy voice and perhaps a mild emotional hangover after spending around two hours there. It’s a night to remember, and you’ll likely wish it had gone on longer.
