Mumford & Sons release their fifth album, RUSHMERE, and announce an extensive North American tour for later this year, including a visit to Little Caesars Arena on Monday, October 20 at 7:30 p.m. Michael Kiwanuka will provide support.
Rushmere is the spot where Mumford & Sons first met in Wimbledon. And RUSHMERE is the beginning for Mumford & Sons’ next phase, and it follows an intense period of creativity for the trio.
RUSHMERE was produced in collaboration with the nine-time Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb and recorded at RCA Studio A in Nashville, in Savannah, GA, and in Devon, U.K. Stream the album HERE.
To coincide with the release, the band are excited to announce an arena and amphitheater tour of North America for later this year. The tour commences on June 5 in the city Bend, Oregon, and concludes a second leg at the CHI Health Center Arena in Omaha, Nebraska on October 26. The support acts include Japanese Breakfast, Gregory Alan Isakov, Michael Kiwanuka, Sierra Ferrell, Gigi Perez, Margo Price, Lucius, Madison Cunningham, Good Neighbours and Divorce.
The band’s U.K. arena tour this autumn sold out in under two hours, with two additional shows in Newcastle and Leeds added this week to meet fan demand. The trio will headline Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Liverpool in May.
Through four albums, Mumford & Sons have accumulated various awards for their work, notably two BRIT Awards, two Grammy Awards (including the prestigious Album of the Year), multiple chart-topping, multi-platinum album successes right across the globe, a string of festival headlining performances (including Glastonbury), and selling out arenas tour after tour (including their biggest numbers to date in the U.S. in conclusion of the Delta tour back in 2019). A distinctively Mumford & Sons sound has since influenced and inspired recent artists to find huge success in their own right. You’d be hard pressed to find too many acts that follow a similar career trajectory.
Since the band’s last album release, they’ve explored solo passions and reconnected with friends and past collaborators. During a particularly prolific run of recent songwriting inspiration, it’s led them back to the magic of where it all started for them in a leafy suburb of London.
Mumford & Sons are Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, and Ted Dwane.
