London UK, 22nd January 2025: Indie folk luminaries Lord Huron are set to play a landmark headline show at London’s Eventim Apollo Friday 19th of September 2025.
Lord Huron was created by Los Angeles-based artist Ben Scheider in 2010. After writing and recording two independent EPs (Into the Sun and Mighty) on his own, demand grew for Lord Huron to perform live. Schneider recruited friends Mark Barry (percussion), Miguel Briseño (bass) and Tom Renaud (guitar). Having first played music together at the tender age of 12, the group reunited and quickly hit their stride, transforming the project into a full-fledged live band.
Lord Huron’s debut LP Lonesome Dreams was released in 2012 followed by Strange Trails in 2015. The latter featured the multi-platinum single The Night We Met, which has gone on to become one of Spotify’s Top 40 most-streamed songs of all time. In 2018, Lord Huron earned widespread critical acclaim and a Top 5 debut on the Billboard Top 200 with their third album, Vide Noir.
