Mumford & Sons has just announced details about the band's "Prizefighter" tour. The group's new album Prizefighter is out today...Robert Kinsler

MUMFORD & SONS’ NEW ALBUM PRIZEFIGHTER OUT TODAY, MASSIVE

NORTH AMERICAN TOUR CONFIRMED

 

KIA FORUM – TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6

 

BAND SET TO RETURN TO ‘SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE’ AS MUSICAL GUEST FOR THE FOURTH TIME

 

Tickets on Sale Friday, February 27, at 10 AM PT

 

 

Mumford & Sons’ anticipated new album, Prizefighter, is out today via Glassnote Records/Gentlemen of the Road. Stream/purchase HERE.

Long celebrated for their electric live performances, touring has defined Mumford & Sons from the beginning, in shaping their sound, building their global fanbase, and fostering their collaborative spirit. Continuing that tradition, the group will kick off their massive North American headline Prizefighter Tour in June, which includes a stop at the Kia Forum on Tuesday, October 6.

Tickets will be available for pre-sale for AGORA members starting Tuesday, February 24, at 10:00 am PT, with general on-sale following on Friday, February 27, at 10:00 am PT. Full details can be found at www.mumfordandsons.com.

The tour will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. Packages vary but include premium tickets, access to the pre-show Prizefighter club, exclusive VIP merchandise & more. VIP package contents vary based on the offer selected. For more information, visit vipnation.com.

Co-produced and co-written with The National’s Aaron Dessner, Prizefighter features collaborations with Hozier, Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton, and Gigi Perez and finds Mumford & Sons at their most instinctive and open, capturing the sense of community and connection that has influenced them from the start.

Already receiving widespread attention, the band was recently featured on NPR’s Morning Edition, The Zane Lowe Show, Bert Kreischer’s The Bertcast, And The Writer Is… and Brittany Broski’s Royal Court, while NPR Music praises the album, saying, “it’s pretty wonderful…this music is very evolved and intricate and exquisitely produced and performed. They are incredible musicians.”

The official music video for the album track, “The Banjo Song,” is also out now, directed and produced by the Bristol-based events collective, Streets of Soul, who cast the dancers solely from clubbers they met at their Bristol Northern Soul Club nights. Watch/share HERE.

Less than a year from the arrival of RUSHMERE, the band’s long-anticipated #1 album in March 2025, Mumford & Sons take full advantage of a prolific period of songwriting with another full-length record in quick succession. For a band whose unique sound has helped to both influence and inspire countless artists all around the globe, Prizefighter is Mumford & Sons’ finest example of precisely how and why they lead by example.  

The album sessions were as much about rediscovery as recording. Days spent writing in Hudson cafés and nights spent around Long Pond’s kitchen table gave rise to songs that feel unpolished in the best sense—alive with first takes and the joy of simply making music together again. Reenergized, rejuvenated, and in the form of their lives, Prizefighter embraces and reflects that full-strength energy and enthusiasm with 14 songs of light, shade, and everything in between.

Mumford & Sons share new single "The Banjo Song"

Listen to the fantastic new advance track from Mumford & Sons, the melodic and wistful "The Banjo Song" released today...Robert Kinsler

MUMFORD & SONS SHARE NEW SINGLE “THE BANJO SONG”

NEW ALBUM PRIZEFIGHTER OUT FEBRUARY 20

HUGE SUMMER DATES SET FOR LONDON’S BST HYDE PARK, GRONINGEN, ROME + BERLIN

 

Credit: Conor Cunningham

January 9, 2026—Mumford & Sons share their new track, “The Banjo Song,” today, which was co-written with Aaron Dessner and Jon Bellion. Listen/share HERE.  

The song is from their forthcoming sixth album, Prizefighter, which will be released February 20 via Glassnote Records.  

“The Banjo Song” follows the introductory tracks “Rubber Band Man (with Hozier)” and the album’s title-track, as another taster to a record that vocalist Marcus Mumford has already described as the “most excited” he’s been about a Mumford & Sons album. “The Banjo Song” makes for an excellent start to what promises to be a very hectic year for the band both on and off stage.

A mere seven months on from the arrival of RUSHMERE, the band’s long anticipated #1 album in March 2025, Mumford & Sons take full advantage of a prolific period of songwriting with another full-length record in quick succession.

For a band whose unique sound has helped to both influence and inspire countless artists all around the globe, Prizefighter is Mumford & Sons’ finest example of precisely how and why they lead by example.

Co-produced and co-written with The National’s Aaron Dessner, who the band previously worked with on their third record Wilder Mind, Prizefighter captures the band at their most open and instinctive. In just ten days, they’d written more than an album’s worth of songs, and a collection that feels both deeply personal, instinctive and unguardedly communal. Marcus Mumford’s lyrics grapple with resilience and striving, singing with a mix of confidence and urgency.

The album sessions were as much about rediscovery as recording. Days spent writing in Hudson cafés and nights spent around Long Pond’s kitchen table gave rise to songs that feel unpolished in the best sense—alive with first takes and the joy of simply making music together again. Re-energized, rejuvenated and in the form of their lives, Prizefighter embraces and reflects that full-strength energy and enthusiasm with 14 songs of light, shade and everything in-between.

That openness extended to the studio door too. Mumford & Sons welcomed collaborators into the studio, calling on the likes of Hozier, Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton, Gigi Perez, and Dessner himself. Their presence underscored the band’s commitment to community and connection.

This summer, Mumford & Sons will headline London’s BST Hyde Park in July, with tickets on sale now. The show heralds the band’s first return to Hyde Park in a decade, with support from The War On Drugs. Huge outdoor summer shows in Groningen, Rome, and Berlin are also on sale now.

Mumford & Sons’ new album "Prizefighter" out February 13

 Here is the official media release about the forthcoming Mumford & Sons album "Prizefighter," due Feb. 13. Be sure to listen to the great advance single "Rubber Band Man" featuring Hozier too...Robert Kinsler

MUMFORD & SONS’ NEW ALBUM

PRIZEFIGHTER OUT FEBRUARY 13 

CO-PRODUCED AND CO-WRITTEN WITH AARON DESSNER, FEATURES COLLABORATIONS WITH HOZIER, GRACIE ABRAMS, CHRIS STAPLETON AND GIGI PEREZ

FOLLOWS RUSHMERE, THE BAND’S RETURNING ALBUM WHICH DEBUTED AT #1 IN THE U.K. EARLIER THIS YEAR

SOLD-OUT U.K. + EUROPEAN ARENA TOUR KICKS OFF NEXT WEEK

October 29, 2025—Mumford & Sons will release their new album, Prizefighter, February 13 via Glassnote Records. Pre-order/pre-save HERE. The band’s sixth studio album, Prizefighter was co-produced and co-written with The National’s Aaron Dessner at his Long Pond Studio in upstate New York.

The record consists of fourteen tracks including the band’s new single, “Rubber Band Man (with Hozier),” which debuted last week. Listen HERE. 

A mere seven months after the arrival of RUSHMERE, the band’s long anticipated #1 album in March 2025, Mumford & Sons take full advantage of a prolific period of songwriting with another full-length record in quick succession. 

Created alongside Dessner, who the band previously worked with on their third record, Wilder Mind, Prizefighter captures the band at their most open and instinctive. In just ten days, they’d written more than an album’s worth of songs, and a collection that feels both deeply personal, instinctive and unguardedly communal. Marcus Mumford’s lyrics grapple with resilience and striving, singing with a mix of confidence and urgency.

For Mumford, Ben Lovett and Ted Dwane, the sessions were as much about rediscovery as recording. Days spent writing in Hudson cafés and nights spent around Long Pond’s kitchen table gave rise to songs that feel unpolished in the best sense—alive with first takes and the joy of simply making music together again. Reenergized, rejuvenated and in the form of their lives, Prizefighter embraces and reflects that full-strength energy and enthusiasm with fourteen songs of light, shade and everything in-between.  

That openness extended to the studio door too. Mumford & Sons welcomed collaborators into the studio, calling on the likes of Hozier, Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton, Gigi Perez and Dessner himself. Their presence underscored the band’s commitment to community and connection. 

Of the project, Mumford shares, “We feel like we’re hitting our prime as a creative force. We’re putting everything we have into this now, and we’re using everything about our experience so far to embrace exactly who we are. We’re comfortable in our skins these days. And Prizefighter is us going for it—serious and playful, sometimes bruised and always hopeful. We’re nowhere near done yet. I hope and believe we’re in the beginning of something we don’t want to let up on. I’m more excited to be in this band than I’ve ever been.”

Mumford & Sons celebrate 10-year anniversary of debut album with release of "Sigh No More Sessions"

I've loved seeing Mumford & Sons a few times over the years, including at Coachella and opening for U2 in May 2017 (read the review here). Here is news in connection with the group's next release...

Mumford & Sons celebrate
10-Year anniversary of debut album with the release of 'Sigh No More Sessions' 

AUSTIN CITY LIMITS HEADLINE PERFORMANCE THIS WEEKEND

Mumford & Sons today celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their breakthrough debut album with the release of a 5-song live EP, Sigh No More Sessions (purchase/stream HERE). Recorded in the year following the album’s U.K release on October 2, 2009, the EP’s five tracks include: “Little Lion Man (Live at Triple J),” Thistle & Weeds (Live at VRT/Studio Brussels),” “Sigh No More (BBC live session),” “White Blank Page (WFUV live at MSR Studios)” and “Timshel (BNN/3FM That’s Live).”

Sigh No More has gone onto become one of the decade’s most enduring releases with over 7 million in sales worldwide, including a 4x Platinum certification the U.S.. The album was also awarded “Album of the Year” the Brit Awards and was nominated for the prestigious Mercury Prize.

Mumford & Sons are Ben Lovett, Marcus Mumford, Ted Dwane and Winston Marshall. In the ten years since their meteoric debut, the Grammy and BRIT Award-winning band has released four full-length albums, including their most recent, 2018’s acclaimed Delta. Produced by Paul Epworth, the record debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, Americana/Folk Albums, Alternative Rock Albums and Rock Albums charts—the band’s third consecutive #1 debut, the largest sales week for an alternative rock album in 2018 and the sixth-largest debut among all titles last year.

In celebration of the album, the band will continue their “thrilling” (The Washington Post) worldwide Delta Tour this fall including a headline performance at this weekend’s Austin City Limits Music Festival as well as upcoming shows at Houston’s Toyota Center, Dallas’ American Airlines Center and Oklahoma City’s Chesapeake Energy Arena.  

Gentlemen of the Road is an endeavor of Mumford & Sons, which produces community-minded touring festivals. With a commitment to giving back to the causes the band are close to, Gentlemen of the Road and its fund will be supporting global charities, local programs, urgent needs and will always do what it can to protect the planet. Having already taken GOTR around the globe with weekend Stopovers in England, Ireland, the U.S. and Australia, each and every event puts due prominence on the town or city they arrive in, ensuring the local community are as involved with its planning as they want to be and offering a spotlight on the locale to a huge audience. https://www.gentlemenoftheroad.com

U2 delivers a stirring Joshua Tree tour opener in Vancouver

My review of U2's May 12, 2017 concert at B.C. Place in Vancouver was originally posted on The Orange County Register website on Saturday, May 13, 2017. This version features additional details and a review of opener Mumford and Sons.

U2 embarked on its Joshua Tree 2017 Tour on Friday night (May 12, 2017), performing the band’s beloved 1987 album The Joshua Tree in its entirety as well as a number of hits and rarities before closing out the night with a beautiful new song during an impressive two-hour concert at the B.C. Place in Vancouver, Canada.

The sold-out crowd of more than 50,000 were all in their seats when U2 hit the stage at 9:22 p.m.. That’s a good thing, because casual concertgoers who arrive fashionably late in hopes of snapping selfies while an artist performs their biggest hits would have missed out this night. In fact, with the exception of “Beautiful Day” and “One,” U2’s lengthy six-song encore was focused on material not as well known.

Before launching into the actual performance of The Joshua Tree in honor of that album’s 30th anniversary, U2 started the show by coming out to a second stage extending about 100 feet from the main stage into the audience. There the band – singer Bono, guitarist The Edge, bassist Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen Jr. – delivered a breathtaking run through “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” “New Year’s Day” (with The Edge juggling keyboards and electric guitar like a magician), “A Sort of Homecoming,” and a stirring “MLK” that segued into a spirited “Pride (In the Name of Love).”

The band’s decidedly-intimate positioning on that smaller stage allowed for a dynamic build-up when the group moved to the main stage before fully launching into “Where the Streets Have No Name,” the first song off The Joshua Tree. It was here where the music of U2 joined with a number of visual elements and conceptual videos that enhanced every song to come. The backdrop seemed simple, a massive layered screen with a gigantic silhouette of a single Joshua Tree rising high into the arena sky. But as the screen was used, it immersed (but never overpowered) the Irish quartet and audience with high-definition visuals.

For example, when “Where the Streets Have No Name” was performed, images of the California desert rushed by behind the band. During the subsequent “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” detailed black & white photographs of stark Joshua Trees were shown in the backdrop. During “With or Without You,” colorful, sunset-draped mountains illuminated the stage. For the first-ever live performance of “Red Hill Mining Town,” the horn section, featuring a Salvation Army Brass Band, was masterfully seen and heard to enhance the occasion.

This crowd – like the ones who will fill the Rose Bowl on may 20 and 21 – sang and clapped along during key moments throughout the set.

the highlights of the concert in Vancouver.

With the exception of Bono using a spotlight that he held and used during the fiery “Bullet the Blue Sky,” the use of lasers and cutting-edge lighting was not as dramatic at this show as on the band’s recent tours. There was a more intimate feel with the use of artfully-made films and The Joshua Tree songs as the focus of the night.

This writer has seen U2 a number of times dating back to the early 1980s and Bono’s soaring vocals are always balanced with inspired, spoken thanks for those persons and nations who assist in the fight to wipe out HIV, help the poor or advance other social justice causes. There was plenty of that this night, but also blunt criticism of the current U.S. Administration.

Before performing “One” Bono urged the crowd to send a message from Canada to the U.S., getting the crowd to sing and repeat: “Power of the people / so much stronger than the people in power.” Bono did emphasize his message was not against the American people, but rather the people in power in the U.S.

It was revealing of U2’s continuing relevancy that few in the crowd headed for an early exit. For the night’s final song, the audience was rewarded when Bono announced the band was debuting a newly written song, the lovely “The Little Things That Give You Away,” made all the more powerful because the band members had not only moved back to the more intimate stage but they all huddled together in a tight circle to bring the magical night to a close.

Opening up for U2 was London's Mumford & Sons, whose leader Marcus Mumford and his group performed an energetic set over 50 minutes. Although the band performed before a relatively empty arena at the start, soon the seats started to fill and there were plenty of cheers and applause for the troupe's infectious brew of folk rock, Americana and alt rock. Highlights included the symphonic "Little Lion Man" early in the set and alternative rocker "Tompkins Square Park" (with a Radiohead-worthy instrumental break) before the ensemble got to its best-known material including the melodic harmonies-rich "The Cave" and majestic crowd-pleasing "I Will Wait."
