The National have a veritable arsenal of modern classic albums to call upon, and they’ll be playing one of them in full when their own Homecoming Festival at Cincinnati’s Smale Park takes place between April 28th-29th.
The band have revealed their intention to air the 2007 record Boxer in its entirety at the event, one which will also have appearances from Father John Misty, Feist, Future Islands, The Breeders and Alvvays.
