Over five studio albums, including their 2025 release AUTOMATIC, the band has achieved 24 #1 hits across multiple radio formats, earned over 6 billion streams, sold more than 1.5 million albums in the US, and built a Spotify following of 22 million monthly listeners with a social media reach of 6.5 million.
Their accolades include two GRAMMY nominations, five Billboard Music Awards nods, an American Music Award nomination, and an iHeartRadio MMVA win for their #1 hit ‘Stubborn Love'. Known for their electrifying live performances, The Lumineers have sold out arenas, ampitheatres and stadiums across the globe, and headlined festivals like Bonnaroo, Glastonbury, and Fuji Rock.
Beyond music, The Lumineers are dedicated to driving social impact, championing environmental sustainability, and supporting causes such as human rights, youth mental health, music education, and hunger relief. Their pandemic-era Colorado Gives Back benefit raised critical funds for live music and service industry workers affected by COVID-19. Now, with AUTOMATIC and The AUTOMATIC World Tour, The Lumineers continue to captivate audiences while building a legacy of creativity, advocacy, and impact.
