The Lumineers brought their signature folk-rock to Citizens Bank Park on Sept. 19, uniting 9,569 fans of all ages in a night filled with lights, dancing, and local pride.
The Lumineers ended this special night singing one of their most iconic songs “Stubborn Love”. The crowd was seen dancing, singing, and hugging those around them.
“The Lumineers was such a heartwarming and wholesome experience—one I’ll never forget,” said Ynez Doyle ‘26
The songs from the Lumineers gave everyone an urge to dance as the lyrics focus on love and joy around the world. Even though the crowd ranged in ages, everyone was feeling the same warmth of the songs.
“It felt so amazing to experience such wholesome moments with all of my best friends. The concert reminded me how grateful I am for who I surround myself with,” Katie Tropiano ‘26 said.
“My dad was in a band and I always listened to the lyrics growing up driving to school and camp. I went to the concert with my dad and sister so it was really speacil to have that full circle moment,” Kiera Doogan ‘26 said.
The Lumineers lead singer and guitarist, Wesley Schultz, is a Philadelphia fan himself as his family lives in Doylestown, PA. He showed his Philly pride while performing at Citizens Bank Park by bringing out a special guest. The crowd went wild as our very own Phillie Phanatic appeared on the stage dancing and singing along to songs.
“I was overjoyed to see the Phillie Phanatic on the stage. His dancing and energy made me reflect on how proud and happy I am to live in Philadelphia!” Nora Benamar ‘25 said.
Something that made the night so special was the light up bracelets that were given out to everyone. The bracelets would light up at a speed corresponding to the beat of the song that the band was singing.
“I loved the bracelets they gave us,” Allie Seweryn ‘26 said.
Some fans noted that the concert ended without any fireworks or confetti, effects seen at other tour stops, according to posts on Tik Tok and Instagram. Students from the Mount are left confused and disappointed about this change.
“I was disappointed because there was no confetti or fireworks and I saw videos on TikTok that there would be,” Sarah Deitch ‘26 said.
