The lumineers
Live in Charlotte
Photos & Review by Chloe Gunn
The Lumineers’ performance in Charlotte, North Carolina was nothing short of magical. From the moment the first notes rang out of “Same Old Song”, the atmosphere was electric and filled with shimmering lights, unshakable energy, and an overwhelming sense of connection. The crowd wasn’t just an audience; they were part of the experience. From flowing skirts to flowers in their hair, fans came dressed in the spirit of the music, fully embracing the band’s timeless, folksy vibe.
Wesley Schultz delivered a heartfelt and compelling performance. Singing with passion and polaying the guitar with spirit, he consistently gives audiences an outstanding show with his powerful voice. Jeremiah Fraites performance reinforced just how essential he is to The Lumineers’ live sound. When Jeremiah got behind the drum set whether it was thunderous beats or pulling back for softer moments, he anchored the performance with control and flair.
A special part of the Lumineers show was their love for the fans, stepping into the crowd to show their appreciation with the “BRIGHTSIDE” song. Wesley and Jeremiah often leave the spotlight to get closer to fans, turning a massive arena into something that feels intimate and personal. It’s a tradition that shows their genuine appreciation for the people who come out, and it creates a special kind of memory and connection that fans never forget.
Some of their well-known songs that really brought the crowd to their feet were “Ho Hey”, “Ophelia”, “Stubborn Love”, “Gloria”, “Flowers in Your Hair”, and many others. Each track carried its own surge of excitement, with the audience singing along word for word, dancing and twirling as if the lyrics lifted them off the ground. Strangers swayed together, sang as one, and shared a collective memory that will linger far beyond the final encore. The Lumineers didn’t just perform songs; they created moments that were intimate, powerful, and unforgettable. It wasn’t just a concert; it was an experience of togetherness, artistry, and pure joy. A night that Charlotte will remember for years to come
