Southern California band Local Natives met at an Orange County high school before attending UCLA and then moving into a house in Silver Lake, where they created their first album — “Gorilla Manor.” Three albums later, they’ve toured the world, played festivals from Coachella to Glastonbury and hit the top 10 on the alternative charts. This fall they released their latest EP, “Sour Lemon.” The band now joins “CBS This Morning: Saturday” to perform “Statues in the Garden (Arras).”

2020 will forever have a huge, indelible asterisk beside it. It will serve as a stark reminder that the most challenging year our industry has ever endured was an anomaly, an aberration, a pox on our businesses, one that deviated widely from all norms and can’t end fast enough.
Congratulations to Sir Elton John, whose phenomenal “Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour” crowned
Pollstar’s Year-End Top 100 Worldwide Tours with $87.1 million grossed from Nov. 30 to March 7. His multi-year trek, which was No. 2 on 2019’s tally with a $212 million gross, is shaping up into something special and will further burnish Sir Elton’s incredible legacy as it continues into 2023. And kudos, too, to the rest of the chart’s Top 10, rounded out by Celine Dion, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, U2, Queen + Adam Lambert, Post Malone, Eagles, Jonas Brothers, Dead & Company and Andrea Bocelli – but for one thing: 2020 .
