The Lumineers Announce New Album 'Cleopatra' with Single 'Ophelia' and World Tour Dates

It's been nearly four years since The Lumineers broke out with their crossover folk hit "Ho Hey," and after legal battles and a series of contributions to various soundtracks, on Friday (Feb. 5), the band officially announced its sophomore album Cleopatra along with a spring world tour.

The Lumineers actually rolled out the tracklist to Cleopatra on its Instagram Thursday (Feb. 4), revealing 10 new songs and its Catching Fire contribution "Gale Song."

The Lumineers Cleopatra Tracklist:

01. Sleep on the Floor
02. Ophelia
03. Cleopatra
04. Gun Song
05. Angela
06. In the Light
07. Long Way from Home
08. Gale Song
09. Sick in the Head
10. My Eyes
11. Patience

Following the Cleopatra announcement and tracklist, The Lumineers rolled out the album's lead single, "Ophelia." Though the song maintains the stomps, earnest vocals and light touches of the piano that helped The Lumineers break out in the first place, the folk elements of their sound are dialed back just a touch.

The album is due to be released on April 8.

The Lumineers will accompany the release of Cleopatra with a world tour, which is set to kick off on April 14 in the U.K. The folk rockers will arrive stateside on May 21 for a 16-date North American tour, which is set to hit cities such as Portland, Dallas, Indianapolis and Chicago.
