Mumford & Sons Head Back To The Rails After 14 Years For ‘Railroad Revival’

Folky favorites Mumford & Sons and a slew of special guests will once again ride the rails this summer.

Reviving a concept from 2011, the band will play four cities, riding a train between each tour stop. The “Railroad Revival” tour begins at New Orleans’ Woldenberg Park — where the 2011 tour finished — Aug. 3 and then proceed to Spartanburg, South Carolina; Richmond, Virginia; and Burlington, Vermont.

Mumford & Sons will be backed by an “all-star house band” including Celisse, Chris Thile, Ketch Secor, Leif Vollebekk, Lucius, Madison Cunningham, Nathaniel Rateliff and Trombone Shorty with more to be announced.

Tickets will go on general on-sale at 10 a.m. local May 16. Mumford & Sons’ Agora fan-community will have the first opportunity to purchase tickets with a pre-sale beginning 10 a.m. local May 15.

The culminating stop of the 2011 version drew 5,000 people to Woldenburg Park, grossing $275,000, according to Pollstar Boxoffice reports. That tour moved west to east, beginning in Oakland, California, and making stops in Los Angeles; Tempe, Arizona; Marfa, Texas; and Austin before arriving in New Orleans.
