Mumford & Sons reveal a new UK tour for late 2015, including one night in Glasgow’s SSE Hydro Arena in December!
Mumford & Sons have announced a huge 10 date UK winter tour, ending in Glasgow’s SSE Hydro Arena on the 13th of December 2015!
Mumford & Sons capped off an incredible Summer with a huge British return show at Reading Festival where they also announced details of a UK/Ireland arena tour for later this year, including a date at The SSE Hydro in December!
Seven things that happened to Mumford & Sons this summer:
1. Back in June, Mumford & Sons returned to the Bonnaroo festival in Manchester Tennessee to headline an event they hold very close to their hearts. It was a carnival atmosphere that greeted the returning heroes for their first festival of the Summer, and they also managed to capture some behind-the-scenes festival fun for an unpredictably amusing video for The Wolf.
2. The band arrived back in Europe for some breathtaking headline shows in some equally as breathtaking locations. A capacity crowd at Verona’s ancient Roman amphitheatre was followed by a performance amongst the woodland of Goffertpark in Nijmegen, and then two incredible nights at Berlin’s Waldbühne amphitheatre as the sun set in the shadows of the city’s Olympic Stadium, for some of the band’s most memorable live performances to date.
3. On their travels, Mumford & Sons have made no secret of their love for new music. Hot new bands pepper the line-ups of The Stopovers across the globe, but one particular favourite is British artist, Shura. Their new found love went as far as reimagining her track 2Shy, for BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge
4. Aviemore in the Highlands of Scotland was the scene of the fifteenth of seventeen Gentlemen Of The Road Stopovers the band has curated and promoted to date, and the band’s first full British live performance since the release of their third album, Wilder Mind. The Stopover line-ups this year have been stellar, including jaw-dropping performances from Foo Fighters, The Flaming Lips, Alabama Shakes, Primal Scream, and The Maccabees.
5. The band smartly followed that up with two jubilant sold-out dates at the legendary Forum in LA, joined on stage by Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus, The Vaccines, and Jack Garratt on the second night, to perform The Eurythmics’ Sweet Dreams.
6. The band also managed to fit in a secret midnight performance at The Troubadour, the scene of their first ever show there back in February 2010. This time it was Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello who joined the band on stage, performing Bruce Springsteen’s Ghost Of Tom Joad to a fortunate few hundred fans. The evening concluded with Mumford & Sons, Tom Morello, Mark Hoppus, and T Bone Burnett covering Blink 182’s What’s My Age Again?
7. Earlier that week, the band visited the set of Jimmy Kimmel Live! and appeared in a ‘mockumentary’ alongside Kimmel: Behind The Mumfords. It told the story of the band’s fictional early days as a boy band called Mumtown, back in the ’90s, featuring fifth member, Jimmy ‘Mum’ Kimmel.
No. 8 with be their huge UK tour, which kicks off in Nottingham Capital FM Arena on the 28th of November 2015, travelling around the UK over 10 dates including a 2 night stint in the London O2 Arena. Their tour will finish up with one final gig in Glasgow’s SSE Hydro Arena on the 13th of December 2015.
This is one not to miss. Make sure you get your tickets soon!
