Lake Street Dive

Lake Street Dive bring their genre-bending pop to O2 Academy Leeds on 21 October 2026. Over the years, the US five-piece—Rachael Price on vocals, Bridget Kearney on bass, Mike Calabrese on drums, Akie Bermiss on keys and James Cornelison on guitar—have carved a sound that folds soul, jazz and folk into tight songwriting and close-knit harmonies. Albums like Bad Self Portraits (2014), Side Pony (2016) and Obviously (2021) have traced a steady line toward songs that feel both immediate and deeply crafted.

Their 2024 record Good Together, nominated at the Grammys, leans into connection and collective energy, tackling the frictions of the moment with clarity and lightness, without dropping the groove. On stage, the band plays like a conversation: a supple rhythm section, arrangements that breathe, and a voice that carries from a low simmer to a bright release without theatrics. The set threads new material with well-worn favorites, reshaped live by their knack for harmony and interplay, inviting the room to sway, sing and tune in to the same frequency.
