The National live at Manchester Apollo. September 2017. (Gary Mather / Live4ever)
The National aired a brand new song during their Homecoming event at Cincinnati’s Smale Park last weekend. Check out fan footage of Light Years below.
The band were joined by various artists at the event – these including Future Islands who’ll also be at their There’s No Leaving New York festival in Queens this coming September.
“Our show last October at Forest Hills Stadium was one of our favorite shows in the history of the band.” Aaron Dessner has said of this one.
“The incredible legacy of the place and the fact that it still feels intimate even given its size, we started talking immediately about finding a way to come back for multiple nights with friends. We couldn’t be happier to announce these shows in September with some of our favorite artists.”
There’s more North American gigs scheduled for September, as well as European outings in Milan, Italy and Berlin, Germany.
