'The National: Live from Beacon Theatre' film coming to Prime Video this week

Earlier this year The National previewed their new album with a few very special shows, including one at NYC’s Beacon Theatre in April which featured guest appearances from Brooklyn Youth Chorus, Julien Baker, This Is The Kit and Mina Tindle. That show was filmed for a concert film / documentary that is coming to Amazon Prime Video on Friday, August 23. There are also free screenings of the film happening in NYC (Nighthawk Prospect Park on 8/21), L.A.(NeueHouse Hollywood on 8/20) and Seattle (Northwest Film Forum on 8/21). You can RSVP to attend the NYC, L.A. and Seattle screenings and watch the trailer for The National: I Am Easy To Find, Live From New York’s Beacon Theatre below.

Additionally, The National will release a live EP, taken from the Beacon Theatre show, via Amazon Prime on Friday. You can listen to “Rylan” from that here.

The National were on tour with Courtney Barnett earlier this year and will be on a West Coast/Southwest tour with Alvvays starting next week. All dates are listed below.
