On Day 2 of the summer concert series at St. Anne’s Park, Denver folk-pop giants The Lumineers took to the stage under a blazing sun, just one of the many moods the very-Irish weather served up yesterday.

But nothing could dampen the buzz as Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites, backed by their touring band, delivered a fine set that felt both fresh and familiar.

Easing in with a few tracks from their latest album Automatic (2025), it was the explosive reaction to early classic ‘Ho Hey’ that truly ignited the crowd, from kids on shoulders to teens belting out every word to families swaying arm in arm.

The energy never dipped, all the way through to the sweeping finale of global-hit ‘Ophelia’, which closed the night on a high.

Before the headliners, two support acts helped set the tone with their own brand of joyful, genre-blending sounds. First up, rising indie-pop duo Good Neighbours brought sunny synths and standout vocals, with Oli Fox impressing as both frontman and snare-drum maestro.

Following them, Michael Marcagi’s folk-infused pop, complete with mandolin and harmonica, added a rich, rootsy flavour that echoed The Lumineers’ early charm.

With their soaring choruses and heartfelt delivery, The Lumineers reminded us why they’re one of the most beloved live acts on the planet – and why St. Anne’s Park continues to remain one of Dublin's go-to open-air venues.
