HU Presents to bring soul band Black Pumas to Harrisburg riverfront

Black Pumas

Sounds of psychedelic soul will reverberate through Riverfront Park this summer.

Harrisburg University Presents announced on Tuesday that Austin, Texas-based duo, Black Pumas, would take the stage on July 25, as part of HU’s Summer Concert Series.

The band joins another already-announced concert, Fleet Foxes on June 23, for the summer series.

Black Pumas released their first, self-titled album in 2019, with the deluxe edition landing a Grammy Award nomination for Album of the Year. The band has since garnered seven Grammy nominations and released hit singles like “Colors,” which was nominated in two categories.

The band performed at President Joe Biden’s inauguration and has made appearances on shows like “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

HU also just announced that American musician Matt Kearney would perform at XL Live on Oct. 2. His new self-titled album is slated to drop on May 15.

Tickets for Black Pumas and Matt Kearney will go on sale to the public on March 8.

Just last month, HU announced four other concerts coming to XL Live this spring and summer, including The Heavy Heavy, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls and Neon Trees.
