HU Presents announces four concerts coming to Harrisburg, starting in April

Live music fans can celebrate as several upcoming Harrisburg shows were just announced.

HU Presents shared on Wednesday that The Heavy Heavy, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls and Neon Trees will perform at XL Live in the coming months.

First up, on April 23, rockers Neon Trees will take the stage.

The band released their debut album in 2010, performing at major festivals, opening for artists like My Chemical Romance, Maroon 5 and Taylor Swift and headlining sold-out tours of their own. The band is slated to release its fifth studio album this spring.

Just a few days later, The Heavy Heavy, U.K.-based rock-and-rollers, will perform their feel-good music at XL Live on April 27.

The band released its debut EP, “Life and Life Only,” in 2020 and is expected to release a full-length album next year.

On May 23, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls will stop in Harrisburg, bringing their punk-rock sound.

This year, Turner, who has been a musician for over 25 years, plans to release his 10th album, “Frank Turner Is Undefeated.” Not only has he written the record himself, but also, for the first time, produced it, as well. Interestingly, he recorded the album in his home studio and will release it as an independent artist.

Finally, HU Presents will host Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, a GRAMMY-winning blues guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, on June 26.

Since entering the music scene in 2019, Ingram has won 10 Blues Music Awards and Rolling Stone declared, “Kingfish is one of the most exciting young guitarists in years, with a sound that encompasses B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix and Prince.”

In September 2023, Kingfish released his third album, Live In London.

Tickets for each of the four shows go on sale to the public on Feb. 9.
