ABOUT MUMFORD & SONS: 
Mumford & Sons formed in West London in 2008 and quickly rose from small gigs to headlining festivals, winning Grammys, and topping charts worldwide. The renowned band will release their sixth studio album, Prizefighter, on February 13, which was co-produced and co-written with The National’s Aaron Dessner at his Long Pond Studio and features collaborations with Hozier, Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton and Gigi Perez. The new project comes less than a year after their album RUSHMERE, which debuted at No. 1 in the U.K. this past spring and fuelled a sold-out global arena tour.

Along the way, they’ve collaborated with legends like Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Brandi Carlile, among others, building genuine creative partnerships. Live performance has defined their story, from global tours and community stopovers. Through creative changes and evolving sounds, the band remains driven by passion, continually finding new ways to connect with audiences.
