Called “Gentlemen Of the Road Stopovers,” the shows are described as combining “the intimacy of a community celebration with the excitement of a world-class music festival. That means a musical lineup curated by Mumford & Sons along with vendors, merch and a series of events unique to each concert site and featuring local businesses, venues and residents. Be sure to look for after-show parties held in local bars after the main event.

Here’s the plan with Mumford & Sons headlining every date.

Aug. 4 – Portland, Maine, Eastern Promenade; St. Vincent, Dawes, The Maccabees, Apache Relay, Simone Felice, and Haim

Aug. 11 – Bristol, Tenn., off State Street (downtown); Dawes, Jeff The Brotherhood, The Very Best, Justin Townes Earle, Apache Relay, Simone Felice, and Haim

Aug. 18 – Dixon, Ill., Page Park; Gogol Bordello, Dawes, Abigail Washburn, The Very Best, Apache Relay, and Haim

Aug. 25 – Monterey, Calif., Monterey Fairgrounds; Gogol Bordello, The Very Best, Grouplove, Two Gallants, Apache Relay, and Haim
