Mumford & Sons sets U.K. Run
Mumford & Sons returns to its U.K. homeland for a Nov.-Dec. run. Nottingham, Cardiff, Liverpool, London and Glasgow are among the stops with tickets going on sale later this week.
The band is supporting its third studio album. A bit more electric than previous efforts, Wilder Mind surprised fans expecting more of the folk stylings that propelled Mumford & Sons to the top. While talking with Rolling Stone, Marcus Mumford said doing the same thing “wasn’t for us” and that he and his comrades have “a broader taste in music.”
The U.K. tour follows Mumford & Sons’ Australian tour and precedes the band’s 2016 shows in South Africa. Here’s the plan:
Nov. 28 – Nottingham, England, The Capital FM Arena Nottingham
Nov. 29 – Sheffield, England, Sheffield Arena
Nov. 30 – Birmingham, England, Genting Arena
Dec. 2 – Dublin, Ireland, 3Arena
Dec. 5 – Cardiff, Wales, Motorpoint Arena Cardiff
Dec. 6 – Manchester, England, Manchester Arena
