Mumford & Sons have just revealed that they will be going on a European tour this year with 19 dates, including a show at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow.
The folk-rock band announced the exciting news today and will be touring with their new album, Rushmere, which is out on March 28.
The new tour will kick off on November 6 in Stockholm and will conclude in London on December 10 with dates including shows at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow on December 2, Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham and Cardiff.
Fans can get their hands on tickets here when they go on sale.
Mumford & Sons have partnered with PLUS1 to support War Child and £1 from every ticket sold on the tour will help War Child to protect, educate, and stand up for the rights of children affected by war.
Of the band’s return, Rushmere is the spot where it all began for Mumford & Sons. The pond, located on Wimbledon Common in south-west London, is where Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, and Ted Dwane first hung out and imagined the initial idea of putting a band together.
The band say the new album is the beginning for Mumford & Sons’ next phase, and it follows an intense period of creativity for the trio. The album was produced by nine-time Grammy winner Dave Cobb and recorded at RCA Studio A in Nashville, in Savannah, GA, and back in the UK at Marcus’ studio in Devon.
Fans who pre-order the new album Rushmere will have presale access to tickets for UK shows from Tuesday, March 18 at 10 am.
Members of agora, the band’s fan community, will have presale access to the rest of the European arena shows. Fans that haven’t yet signed up to agora can do so now here.
