The National & The War On Drugs at Merriweather Post Pavilion

The Merriweather Post Pavilion will surely roar as phenomenal rock groups The National and The War on Drugs are co-headlining “The Zen Diagram" Tour with special guest artist Lucius. The co-headliners will tour all across North America starting in mid-September and continuing until October as part of their scheduled 18-concert produced by Live Nation Entertainment. Come together at this highly-anticipated rock and roll extravaganza at the scenic Merriweather Post Pavilion located in Columbia, Maryland, this Monday night, September 16, 2024.

Known for their atmospheric rock and roll, brooding, and fraught hits, rock band The National has established themselves as mainstays of festivals and arenas with sold-out shows and headlining slots throughout the world. And this upcoming concert at Merriweather Post Pavilion is not an exemption to their musical journey. The fantastic rock group has achieved a remarkable five top 10 albums on The Billboard 200 and multiple Grammy nominations, with the band's 2017 album "Sleep well Beast" earning the coveted award for Best Alternative Album, besting other nominees in the category. From those accolades, imagine what they could give you on that spectacular evening. The corners of the Pavilion will be filled with beats and thuds as they showcase their songs like "Afraid of Everyone," "Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks," and "Lemonworld."

The night's other half, The War on Drugs, has steadily emerged as one of this century’s great rock and roll synthesists. The band's meticulous yet joyously simple sounds and sharper melodies closed the divide between underground and mainstream music, creating hits that reconcile a fragmented past into a unified and fascinating present. On top of their musical genius, the evening's co-headliner is also an acclaimed rock band, winning the 2018 Grammy for Best Rock Album and earning multiple nominations at the Brit Awards for their work. Sing along to their hits "Living Proof," "Red Eyes," "Pain," and "Under The Pressure." Witness the music that pushed boundaries!

Indie band Lucius, the tour's special guest artist, has been turning heads since the start, thanks to their explosive harmonies, bold aesthetic, and irrepressibly catchy songs. Your night will even be more merrier and fun as they perform their array of hits, from “Two of Us on the Run,” “Next to Normal,” and “Dance Around It.” Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig will make you dance along to the night!
