Big Concerts proudly announces that American alternative folk sensation The Lumineers will bring their much-anticipated The Automatic World Tour to South African stages in February 2026. This tour marks a rare opportunity to witness a band whose authenticity and songwriting prowess remain unmatched in today’s increasingly manufactured music industry.

Since their 2012 breakthrough with the self-titled debut album, The Lumineers have cemented their global stature with 24 number-one hits, billions of streams, multiple sold-out arena tours, multi-platinum album sales, and numerous GRAMMY nominations. Their music, rooted in earnest storytelling and self-written material, stands out in a market dominated by solo artists relying heavily on external writers.

The Lumineers’ latest album, Automatic, released amidst a musical landscape often reliant on collaborations, is a testament to the band’s commitment to writing their own material — a “unique badge of honor,” according to lead vocalist Wesley Schultz. Despite this, they have engaged creatively with artists like pop icon P!nk and singer-songwriters James Bay and Zach Bryan, demonstrating versatility without compromising artistic integrity.
