“We’re thrilled to join forces for the Zen Diagram Tour this fall,” the National shared on their socials, meanwhile, the comment section filled with delight, disbelief, and deep concern for what will happen to men in their 40s when they hear about this!
Both headline bands are set to play a full set list each, while Lucius will open. Currently, The National are touring in support of, First Two Pages of Frankenstein, and, Laugh Track, both of which were released in 2023. Meanwhile, the last new music from The War on Drugs was the album, I Don’t Live Here Anymore, from 2021.
The Zen Diagram Tour with co-headlining bands, The National and The War On Drugs, will be the first time these bands have teamed up. Kicking off in Gilford, New Hampshire, the tour will cross North America, and Canada, making stops in New York, Philadelphia, Toronto, Chicago, Salt Lake City, Vancouver, Portland, Los Angeles, and more, before the grand finale in Mexico City, Mexico. The headliners are joined by special guest and opening band, Lucius, on all dates except for Mexico City. Featuring full sets from both headliners, this will be a fantastic chance to hear some of the epic tracks from both bands' extensive back catalog!
2023 saw The National drop not one, but two epic new albums, First Two Pages of Frankenstein, and then later in the year, Laugh Track. Both albums present some interesting collaborations, with the band being joined by Phoebe Bridgers, Taylor Swift, Roseanne Cash, Bon Iver and Sufjian Stevens, on various tracks. In total, The National have scored an impressive five top 10 albums on The Billboard 200, as well as many Grammy nominations, but it was their 2017 album, Sleep Well Beast, that cinched them the award for Best Alternative Album.
“Only The National have the consistency of catalog and the sheer musicianship to deliver such a marathon showcase of pure class. They are one of the century’s finest. Long may they reign.” - NME
