Mumford & Sons unveil UK/EU arena tour
Mumford & Sons have revealed a 19-date UK/EU tour in support of their forthcoming album, RUSHMERE.
The British folk-rock trio will kick off the trek in Stockholm on 6 November at Avicii Arena (cap. 16,500) — one of the Swedish capital’s in-demand venues — and wrap up at The O2 (20,000) in London on 10 December.
Their 7th LP RUSHMERE, which shares its name with the London pond where the band was formed, will be their first in seven years and is due out 28 March. Presale for the tour starts next Tuesday, 18 March, with a general sale following on Thursday, 20 March.
This jaunt will also include stops at Copenhagen’s Royal Arena (16,000), Berlin’s Uber Arena (17,000), Paris’s Adidas Arena (9,000), Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome (17,000), and Barcelona’s Palau Sant Jordi (17,960).
Over the summer, the trio — comprised of Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett and Ted Dwane — will precede the tour with two outdoor shows at Dublin’s Malahide Castle (20,000) and Italy’s Arena di Verona (22,000) in July.
For this venture, Mumford & Sons have partnered with PLUS1 to support War Child, with £1 from every ticket sold earmarked to help War Child protect, educate, and stand up for the rights of children affected by war.
The band are currently in the midst of their first headline shows since 2018
The band are in the midst of their first headline shows since 2018, a nine-date intimate club tour of Europe, Australia and North America. After performing at the likes of Melkweg (1,500) in Amsterdam and London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town (2,300), they are gearing up to head down to Sydney’s iconic Opera House next Monday, 17 March.
Remaining stops on this run also include a North American leg, with Los Angeles’ Hollywood Palladium (4,000), the Chicago Theatre (3,600), Toronto’s Massey Hall at Allied Music Centre (2,765), and New York City’s Brooklyn Paramount (2,700) on tap.
Earlier this month, the group performed an impromptu, intimate show at London’s Flat Iron Square (420), playing two acoustic sets in support of RUSHMERE. Over 1,000 fans showed up to the south London venue, per NME.
TVG Hospitality, which operates the Southwark Quarter and its Flat Iron Square and Omeara (320), is helmed by Lovett, who co-founded the venture with his brother Greg.
