Mumford & Sons At Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
Mumford & Sons have called up a group of their “Gentlemen of the Road” buddies for a special show at London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Along with the British folk rock band, the gig features Vampire Weekend, Ben Howard and Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes.
“What are you doing, oh say … Saturday 6th July? Well, sure hope you’re free,” Mumford & Sons says in a post on the band’s website.
NME points out that in addition to the July 6 gig marking Mumford & Sons’ biggest ever headline show, the performance is also the first headline concert booked at the renovated Olympic venue.
