Homecoming, the hometown celebration curated by The National and its long-established companion festival, MusicNOW, will be returning to Cincinnati May 8 through May 10. Homecoming will run alongside MusicNOW, the renowned contemporary music festival founded by Bryce Dessner in 2006, now in its 14th edition.
“It’s great to invite our friends and fans to our hometown – the place where we all began our lives as listeners and musicians,” says Bryan Devendorf of The National. “Putting on this intimate event on the banks of the Ohio River is meaningful to us and our families. We are so very grateful.”
Homecoming 2020 follows a wildly successful launch in 2018. In a review from 2018, Billboard said, “The National came home, showed the world what they'd learned on their travels around the globe, shared some of the riches with their friends and family and set the stage for [a]…ritual of renewal, discovery and surprises in the place that's still home in their hearts.”
