The National announce Sleep Well Beast special edition for There’s No Leaving New York

The National will release a special edition of Sleep Well Beast for those attending their There’s No Leaving New York event at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens at the end of this month.

As well as being sold during the shows on September 29th and 30th, 100 copies will be available at Rough Trade Records in Brooklyn on September 8th, the first 50 of which will offer two tickets to There’s No Leaving New York.

The National have invited Future Islands, Cat Power, Cigarettes After Sex, Phoebe Bridgers and more which follows on from the similar Homecoming festival in Cincinnati of earlier this year. “Our show last October at Forest Hills Stadium was one of our favorite shows in the history of the band.” Aaron Dessner has said.

“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.”
