The Lumineers made its Empower Field debut to a proud hometown audience along with fellow local heroes Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats. The Automatic World Tour rolled through a quick weather delay and delivered a set full of new material, fan favorites and rocking covers. The Lumineers will continue the tour in support of its newest album, Automatic, on August 5 in San Francisco.
