Mumford & Sons Tour 2026

Inside Mumford & Sons

Mumford & Sons are the London folk-rock band who, against every rule of late-2000s music industry orthodoxy, turned a four-on-the-floor kick drum, a banjo, a stand-up bass, and a closely harmonised chorus into the defining sound of an entire commercial moment — and then spent the fifteen years afterwards proving the songs would still land long after the trend they accidentally launched had run its course. Marcus Mumford (vocals, guitar, kick drum), Ben Lovett (keys, accordion, harmonies), Winston Marshall (banjo, guitar, harmonies), and Ted Dwane (bass, harmonies) formed in the West London acoustic underground in late 2007 and put out Sigh No More in October 2009 with little fanfare and a Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum, generation-defining slow burn waiting on the other side.

By the time Babel arrived in September 2012, the four-piece had moved from theatres to stadium-tier festival headlining slots in barely thirty months, and the record won the 2013 Grammy for Album of the Year to crown what was, briefly, the biggest folk-adjacent band in the world. Wilder Mind in 2015 was the great electric pivot — the banjo set aside, the amps turned up, the production handed to Aaron Dessner of The National — and split the audience cleanly in half.

Delta (2018) split the difference. The Rushmere album (2025) was a public return to the acoustic toolkit, the first record after Winston Marshall's 2021 departure, and the launch point for the current touring cycle: stadium- and arena-tier dates across the UK, Europe, North America, and selected global markets, played by the three-piece core of Mumford, Lovett, and Dwane augmented by a rotating live band that widens the sound without abandoning the harmonised-chorus, foot-stomping, all-the-way-up emotional architecture that the band built the catalogue on.

They arrive in your city as one of the most consistent live propositions in the folk-rock world — a band that has never released a record that did not chart, and has built a touring practice on the principle that the chorus is the contract and the audience is the third instrument.

About Mumford & Sons

Mumford & Sons came together in late 2007 in the West London acoustic and folk-revival scene that also produced Laura Marling, Noah and the Whale, and Johnny Flynn — a loose collective of musicians playing weekly nights at the Bosun's Locker on the King's Road and the Old Queen's Head in Islington. Marcus Mumford had been drumming in Laura Marling's touring band; Ben Lovett had been running the Communion club night with Kev Jones; Winston Marshall played banjo and guitar in a side project called Captain Kennedy; Ted Dwane had been a touring bassist around the same circuit.

The four formed as Mumford & Sons in December 2007, took their working name from a notional family firm Marcus had floated as a joke, and spent 2008 playing folk clubs and acoustic stages with a setup built around a single condenser microphone — Marcus on a kick drum he played while standing and strumming an acoustic, Winston on banjo, Ted on stand-up bass, Ben on a battered upright piano or accordion, and all four locked around the mic for the harmonised choruses. Sigh No More, recorded with producer Markus Dravs and released on Island in October 2009, built slowly — Little Lion Man hit the UK Top 40, The Cave became the breakout American single, Winter Winds carried the radio rotation, and by mid-2010 the record was top five in the UK, top three in the US, multi-platinum in both, and the band were headlining the Railroad Revival Tour across the American Southwest in a vintage rail-car caravan alongside Edward Sharpe and Old Crow Medicine Show.

Babel followed in September 2012 — Markus Dravs again producing, the lineup unchanged, and the songs (I Will Wait, Whispers in the Dark, Hopeless Wanderer, Babel, Below My Feet) playing as a confident, stadium-aware extension of the Sigh No More sound rather than a departure. The record debuted at number one in both the UK and the US, sold more than 600,000 copies in its first week in America (the biggest debut of 2012), and went on to win the Grammy for Album of the Year at the 2013 ceremony — the first folk-leaning record to take the top prize in more than a decade.

The Babel touring cycle ran through summer 2013 and concluded with a public sabbatical announcement. Wilder Mind, released in May 2015, was the band's great compositional reset.

Aaron Dessner of The National produced the bulk of the record in his Garage studio in Brooklyn; the banjo, the kick drum, and the upright bass were set aside in favour of full drum kit, electric guitars, electric bass, and an arena-rock palette closer to Snow Patrol or Kings of Leon than anything the band had done before. The record debuted at number one in the UK and the US, sold strongly without matching the Babel peak, and split the audience — half embraced the wider sound, half mourned the banjo.

Delta (November 2018), produced by Paul Epworth and again predominantly electric with selective acoustic returns, debuted at number one in the UK and in the top five in the US. Winston Marshall stepped back in March 2021 and formally departed that June, leaving the band a three-piece core of Mumford, Lovett, and Dwane.

Marcus Mumford released a solo record, Self-Titled, in September 2022 (produced by Blake Mills, featuring Phoebe Bridgers, Brandi Carlile, Clairo, and Monica Martin) and toured it through 2022 and 2023. Rushmere — the band's fifth studio album, released in late March 2025 on Island and Glassnote — was a return to the acoustic toolkit, the harmonised chorus, and the road-band approach, with the three principals augmented by a rotating cast of live multi-instrumentalists.

The record debuted at number one in the UK album chart and inside the top five in the US, and launched the Rushmere Tour — the current touring cycle, which has played UK and European stadium and arena dates alongside North American arena and amphitheatre routings. Across the run Mumford & Sons have sold more than 20 million albums worldwide, won the Grammy for Album of the Year, won multiple Brit Awards, and built one of the most loyal cross-Atlantic touring audiences of any band of their generation.

Rushmere Tour

The Rushmere Tour is Mumford & Sons' current global touring cycle, launched in spring 2025 in support of the Rushmere album (March 2025) and the deeper catalogue. The routing has so far worked through UK and European arenas and stadiums, North American arenas and large amphitheatres, and selected dates in Australia and Asia, with additional legs expected to extend the cycle through the second half of the decade — the band have hedged specific 2026 routing announcements but confirmed continued touring beyond the initial Rushmere leg.

The live configuration is built around the three-piece core of Marcus Mumford (vocals, guitar, kick drum, occasional drum kit), Ben Lovett (keys, accordion, harmonies, occasional guitar), and Ted Dwane (bass, double bass, harmonies) augmented by a rotating set of multi-instrumentalists handling banjo, mandolin, additional guitar, brass, and percussion across the night. The set lands in the 95- to 115-minute range across 18 to 22 songs depending on the venue scale and curfew.

Stage production is deliberately spare by the standards of the post-Coldplay stadium era — warm tungsten lighting, a back-stage banner that nods to the album artwork, a runway that pushes Marcus into the crowd for the singalong section, and a quieter b-stage moment toward the middle of the set where the band gather around a single condenser microphone in the original Sigh No More configuration. There are no pyrotechnics, no synchronised wristbands, and no backing tracks of the band's own performance — what you hear is what they play.

Support acts rotate by leg and lean toward the folk-revival, indie-folk, and Americana adjacencies the band have always championed: past openers across the catalogue have included Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, The Maccabees, Dawes, Maggie Rogers, Gregory Alan Isakov, The Staves, Michael Kiwanuka, and a long bench of British and American folk-leaning artists. Door times typically run 6:00 to 6:30 p.m. for arena and amphitheatre dates and 5:00 to 5:30 p.m. for stadium dates, with the opener on around 7:30 and Mumford & Sons at 9:00.

Mumford & Sons tickets

Mumford & Sons tickets are sold through Ticketmaster as the primary outlet in North America and most of Europe, with AXS handling selected UK and US dates and regional primary partners (Eventim in Germany, Ticketek in Australia) routing the remainder. Verified Fan registration has been used on selected high-demand on-sales — particularly the UK stadium dates and the New York and Los Angeles arena residencies — to filter bot inventory out of the early window.

Pricing on the current cycle typically opens with upper-tier seats in the equivalent of $50–$90 USD on arena and amphitheatre dates, mid-bowl and reserved-pavilion seats $100–$170, lower-bowl and floor general admission $180–$300, and a small allocation of VIP hospitality packages — early entry, pre-show acoustic set, limited edition merchandise — running $400 and up. UK stadium dates run higher across all tiers and convert at GBP face values that move with the exchange rate.

Fan club presales through mumfordandsons.com open the Tuesday or Wednesday before the Friday public on-sale on most markets; sign up at the official site as soon as a date is announced to keep registration open. Citi cardmember presales, venue presales, and local radio presales fill the rest of the week.

Dynamic pricing has been used selectively on the highest-demand markets but the band have publicly committed to maintaining a meaningful baseline of affordable tickets at every show. Secondary market reality on the highest-demand dates — London, Glasgow, Dublin, New York, Toronto, Nashville, Los Angeles — is that face-value tickets do not last long, and the cleanest verified resale routes are Ticketmaster Verified Resale, AXS Official Resale, and Twickets in the UK, all of which cap resale at or near face value plus fees in most jurisdictions.

Avoid generic search-ad ticket sites, Facebook Marketplace listings, and any seller insisting on payment outside an escrowed marketplace — Mumford & Sons tickets bought from unverified resellers are routinely cancelled at the gate when the QR codes are duplicates or expired screenshots.

Mumford & Sons setlist — what they play

A current Mumford & Sons setlist runs about 18 to 22 songs across 95 to 115 minutes, structured to land the new Rushmere material alongside the back catalogue without making the audience wait for the songs they came for. The night usually opens with a Rushmere album track — Rushmere itself, Caroline, or Malibu — establishing the acoustic-and-amplified configuration of the new touring band, then turns quickly into a stretch of the most familiar singalongs: Little Lion Man typically lands inside the first half-hour, with the chorus carrying half the audience's voice and the kick drum locked tight under it.

The middle of the show rotates Babel, Whispers in the Dark, Hopeless Wanderer, Below My Feet, and a selection of deeper Sigh No More and Babel cuts that vary night to night — Roll Away Your Stone, Lover of the Light, White Blank Page, Awake My Soul. The Wilder Mind and Delta material is usually represented by Believe, The Wolf, or Guiding Light.

The b-stage acoustic break — a four-song segment where the band gather around a single condenser microphone at a small platform deeper into the crowd — rotates Timshel, Sister, After the Storm, Cold Arms, and other catalogue ballads. The closing run is the section the band have built their reputation on: I Will Wait, The Cave, and Dust Bowl Dance carry the back half, with the kick-drum-and-banjo singalong on I Will Wait routinely cited by fans as the loudest moment of the night.

The encore is usually a slow burn into a final stomp: a quiet song (often Ghosts That We Knew or a Rushmere ballad) followed by Sigh No More itself. Night-by-night variation is real — Mumford & Sons rotate the set list across a leg more than most stadium acts.
