Mumford & Sons are an English folk-rock trio—Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, and Ted Dwane—who first gained acclaim with their 2009 indie-folk debut Sigh No More. Over the years, they have evolved from banjo-driven folk to more expansive sounds, with internationally celebrated albums like Babel and Delta.
In March 2025, they released Rushmere, their first studio album in seven years and the first since the departure of banjoist Winston Marshall. The album is a return to their folk roots—soulful, concise, and deeply emotional—with standout tracks like “Malibu”, “Carry On”, and the reflective title song “Rushmere”. Produced by Grammy-winning Dave Cobb across studios in Nashville, Savannah, and Devon, the record draws its name from the London neighborhood where the band first formed.
To celebrate Rushmere, Mumford & Sons launched the Rushmere Tour, featuring intimate warm-up shows and a major 32-city North American leg starting June 5, 2025—from Bend, OR, to Omaha, NE—playing arenas and amphitheaters alongside supporting acts like Japanese Breakfast, Michael Kiwanuka, Sierra Ferrell, Margo Price, and Madison Cunningham. They also performed spontaneous pop-up shows, including an unannounced pub gig in Dublin before their Malahide Castle concert, delighting fans with acoustic favorites like “The Cave”.
As part of their North American tour, the band partnered with war-relief charity War Child UK—donating $1 from each ticket sold. In August, their Railroad Revival Tour, themed around “the great American railroad,” features special guest Darius Rucker and stops in Charleston, Spartanburg (now at Simpsonville), and Raleigh.
