Little Dragon, like most bands, found themselves forced to stay at home (Gothenburg, Sweden) for the last two years, but this summer was different. North American audiences could finally witness Little Dragon in concert as part of The Boundless Tour, opening for Leon Bridges. 

On a rare and fortunate Midwestern tour stop in Council Bluffs, IA, Little Dragon, and the audience were treated to an unusual break from the normal summer temperatures. The band played a ten-song set that spanned their storied career. The crowd sang and danced along to hits like "Ritual Union", "Lover Chanting", "Klapp Klapp", "High", and 'Hold On".

Yukimi Nagano (vocals, percussion), Erik Bodin (drums), Fredrik Wallin (bass), and Håkan Wirenstrand (keyboards) were all in top form and were sharing the love with the audience, who reciprocated the energy right back at the band. As the summer sun set over the Missouri River, the light show and the band let the audience know they were just getting warmed up!

Many bands would be intimidated to perform as the opening act for Leon Bridges, but not Little Dragon. The band performed as if they were the main act and certainly were able to create many new fans by embarking on such a tour.

The best news for Little Dragon fans, in addition to being able to see them perform live, was the announcement of their new EP, Opening The Door, due on September 16th, 2022. 

As the band head back to Gothenburg, keep the party going, and don't forget to buy their new EP at your favorite local record shop or download service!
