The National released two studio albums this year.

The National will play a clutch of outdoor UK shows next year as part of a summer European tour.

We’re excited to be returning to London next summer, a city we’ve always loved. Crystal Palace is a new neighbourhood to us, although not to the football fans in the band.

That show at Crystal Palace Park is booked for July 5th, 2024, while the band will kick the run off at the Eden Project three days earlier:




“The National are one of the finest indie rock bands of the last two decades and are rightly seen as legends, influencing artists across a range of genres,” Eden Sessions’ Rita Broe said.

“With two incredible albums released this year alone, The National have shown that they are a vital force in contemporary alternative music and we can’t wait to see them play in our breath-taking and unique venue.”
