Just announced: The Lumineers to play Colours of Ostrava festival this summer

Known for their contagious melodies and powerful lyrics, the Grammy-nominated American group, led by singer and guitarist Wesley Schultz, drummer Jeremiah Fraites, and cellist Neyla Pekarek performed to a sell-out crowd in Prague’s Forum Karlin in November of this year. The group has opened for U2 and Tom Petty and recently released a short-film trilogy as a companion to their latest album, III.

Colours organizers have also released the names of additional acts scheduled to perform at this year’s festival including Norwegian singer Sigrid, mystical Nordic group Wardruna, Australian singer Tones and I, known for the big hit “Dance Monkey,” German marching techno brass band Meute, Russian gypsy punk-folk group The Hatters, and ska-punk-rock outfit Bazzookas from Amsterdam.
     
“The seven newly published names, including The Lumineers and Sigrid, illustrate the great variety of genres that Colours of Ostrava possesses,” says festival director Zlata Holušová. “What they have in common is that they will offer a great concert experiences to the visitors,” she adds.
