It is also a global success, amassing hundreds of millions of video views and streaming plays around the world. Since the release of Run, the band has played festivals like Bonnaroo and Reading & Leeds, performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Conan, The Late Late Show and Late Night with Seth Meyers and they were nominated for an iHeartRadio Music Award for ‘Alternative Rock Artist of the Year’ alongside Foo Fighters and Muse. They most recently toured arenas with Fall Out Boy and will be headlining US shows all summer.
