Mumford & Sons Add Spring Shows to North American Tour

Mumford & Sons have expanded their U.S. tour plans to include nearly a dozen additional headline dates.

The new shows kick off June 3 with a gig at The City Market in Kansas City, Mo. Dates are booked through a two-night run at Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, Colo., June 15-16.




The trek also includes stops in St. Louis (June 5); Asheville, N.C. (June 7); Raleigh, N.C. (June 8); Columbia, Md. (June 9); Atlanta (June 12) and Council Bluffs, Iowa (June 14).

The June 3 show is part of KRBZ FM’s “Buzz Under The Stars” series. The event also features Cake, Matthew And The Atlas and Nathaniel Rateliff. The June 5-12 gigs include support from Matthew And The Atlas and The Low Anthem. The June 14-16 shows feature Matthew And The Atlas and Nathaniel Ratecliff.

Mumford & Sons’ first U.S. performance of the year is set for April 15 at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, followed by an April 16 set at Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif.

Additional festival appearances include New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (April 29); Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis (April 30); Wakarusa Festival in Ozark, Ark. (June 4); Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tenn. (June 11) and Tellruide Bluegrass Festival in Colorado (June 19).

The English folk rock band is teaming up with Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes and Old Crow Medicine Show later this month for the “Railroad Revival Tour.” The trek, which is scheduled April 21-27, includes six shows at unique outdoor locations throughout the American Southwest. The three groups will travel from stop to stop aboard 15 vintage railcars from the 1950s and ‘60s.
