Mumford & Sons

This London-based quartet, inspired by folk, country and rock, first came to prominence at Glastonbury in 2008. After three EPs, Mumford & Sons released the critically acclaimed album Sigh No More the following year, which went platinum at number two in the UK and US. The track "Little Lion Man" quickly became a karaoke classic. Their success grows with their second album, Babel (2012), one of the best-selling albums of the decade, reaching number one on both sides of the Atlantic, as does its successor Wilder Mind (2015). In 2013, Mumford & Sons headline the Glastonbury Festival, five years after their debut. The band, which enchants stages around the world, releases three live albums: Live at Shepherd's Bush Empire (2011), The Road to Red Rocks (2012) and Live from South Africa: Dust and Thunder (2017). In 2018 follows the fourth studio album, Delta, produced by Paul Epworth. Mumford & Sons have won numerous awards, including two Brit Awards, a Mercury Prize for the album Sigh No More and two Grammy Awards, including one for the album Babel. After Delta in 2018, Mumford & Sons released a live EP in 2020 entitled Delta Tour EP, to mark the premature end of their tour interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The record features covers of "Hurt" (Nine Inch Nails), "Blood" (The Middle East) and "With a Little Help from My Friends" (The Beatles), with guest appearances by Gang of Youths and The Milk Carton Kids. In 2021, Winston Marshall officially left the band following a controversy, and Marcus Mumford went solo with the album Self-Titled in 2022. The band then returned as a trio with the track "Good People", featuring guest appearance by Pharrell Williams, before the release in March 2025 of their fifth studio album Rushmere, the first album in seven years, co-produced by Dave Cobb. Prizefighter follows in 2026, produced with Aaron Dessner and featuring contributions from Chris Stapleton, Hozier, Gigi Perez and Gracie Abrams.
