Festival organiser are delighted to announce that THE NATIONAL will play the Edmonton Folk Music Festival on Saturday 6th August!

THE NATIONAL treat rock music as a salve. For over two decades, they’ve crafted songs that set out to navigate a hurting world, creating a space where dispirited souls can unite and raise a toast to another day.

In that time, they’ve grown a lot as artists and songwriters, evolving from an underdog indie outfit into one of the most adventurous and influential bands of our time, with an impact that’s reverberated through the worlds of alternative rock, avant-garde classical composition, and even Top 40 pop.

THE NATIONAL closes the festival on Saturday night 6th August 2022
