The National will perform their High Violet album in full during the next Homecoming Festival in 2020.
The band have been putting on some special shows in their native Cincinnati annually since 2018, and next year it’ll be arguably the strongest record of their career which will be the centre-piece when the event takes place between May 8th-9th.
“It’s great to invite our friends and fans to our hometown – the place where we all began our lives as listeners and musicians,” Bryan Devendorf said in a statement. “Putting on this intimate event on the banks of the Ohio River is meaningful to us and our families. We are so very grateful.”
Among those friends set for performances along side The National are Patti Smith, Sylvan Esso, Local Natives, Japanese Breakfast, Phosphorescent, Hamilton Leithauser, Jay Som, Of Monsters And Men, Sudan Archives, Velvet Negroni, Wussy and Triiibe.
