Mumford & Sons to Perform Intimate Shows Before Release of New Album “Rushmere”
Mumford & Sons recently announced a small tour ahead of their upcoming album, Rushmere, which will mark their first album release in seven years. The band, consisting of members Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, and Ted Dwane, will be hitting various club venues across Europe, Australia, and North America. The tour kicks off on March 5 in the Netherlands and wraps up on March 26 in Brooklyn, New York.
The band shared their excitement about the upcoming shows on Instagram, calling them intimate and highlighting how these will be their first performances of 2025. Fans can register on Mumford & Sons’ online community, Agora, for a priority access pre-sale starting on February 13. The general on-sale will follow the next day, but with limited tickets available.
Notably, the band has pledged to donate $1 from each ticket sold to War Child, an organization dedicated to aiding children affected by conflicts in war-torn areas, particularly in Gaza. Mumford & Sons expressed their enthusiasm for Rushmere, their forthcoming album, which will be their first full-length LP since 2018’s Delta that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
In early January, the band hinted at the new album’s release on Instagram, hinting at their excitement for this project. Shortly after, they unveiled the title track and lead single from Rushmere, which quickly climbed to No. 30 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. The anticipation for the album release has been building up among fans, further heightened by the announcement of the upcoming tour.
The decision to incorporate charitable giving into their tour ticket sales adds a philanthropic element to the band’s endeavors, showcasing their commitment to social causes and supporting vulnerable populations affected by conflict. It is a commendable gesture that reflects their desire to contribute to making a positive impact on the world.
Overall, Mumford & Sons’ announcement of their intimate tour and the upcoming album Rushmere has generated excitement among their fan base. With the release of new music and the prospect of live performances, audiences are eagerly anticipating the band’s return to the stage after a long hiatus. The combination of new music, a charitable initiative, and an intimate tour experience sets the stage for an exciting chapter in Mumford & Sons’ musical journey.
