The tour precedes their upcoming album ‘RUSHMERE’ on March 28, their first album in seven years. Following the debut of the title track, which charted in the Top 100 of the UK Singles Chart, the album will feature tracks like ‘Malibou’, ‘Monochrome’, ‘Truth’, and ‘Blood on the Page’. 

The new LP follows a period of change and innovation for the trio as it is their first since the departure of banjoist Winston Marshall, who left after facing backlash for supporting a book by right-wing US journalist Andy Ngo.

According to a press release, ‘RUSHMERE’ takes the trio back to their roots – reminiscing on the Wimbledon Common pond where the band’s formation began. Produced by Dave Cobb, a nine-time Grammy winner, the album promises to define the next chapter of the band’s sound.

The trio have expressed enthusiasm for the release of new material. In 2024, Lovett shared “It just feels so great to be sharing new music again after all these years.” Mumford added “I think we always felt like we knew we were going to release some more music, but we wanted to wait for the right music. We’ve never been in haste, I don’t think. But when this music came around, we had a sense of urgency.”

Ultimately, their intimate global tour sets the stage for ‘RUSHMERE’, an album that promises to launch Mumford and Sons into a fresh and exciting era. The anticipation surrounding the album and the tour highlights the band’s continued relevance and their ability to evolve musically while staying true to their roots.

Named after London’s Rushmere Pond, where Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett and Ted Dwane first conceived the idea of a band, the 10-track LP was recorded in Nashville, as well as Savannah, Georgia, and the UK at Marcus’ studio in Devon, with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb.

The band also shared a sweet video for the new track, featuring pleased fans in a studio listening to the new song. The upbeat, bright new track is reminiscent of the groups earlier material, with its stomping drum beat and trickling banjo plucks.

The album will be the first from the folk rockers as a trio – fourth member, banjo player Winston Marshall left the group in 2021, after facing backlash for praising a book by right-wing US journalist Andy Ngo.

Announcing his decision to depart, Marshall wrote in a post on Medium: “I failed to foresee that my commenting on a book critical of the Far-Left could be interpreted as approval of the equally abhorrent Far-Right. […] For me to speak about what I’ve learnt to be such a controversial issue will inevitably bring my bandmates more trouble. […] I could remain and continue to self-censor but it will erode my sense of integrity. […] The only way forward for me is to leave the band. I hope in distancing myself from them I am able to speak my mind without them suffering the consequences.”

This is the first new material the indie group have released in seven years, since their last album ‘Delta’. The band released a digital-only live compilation, ‘Gentlemen Of The Road’ in 2024. Lead singer Mumford also dropped a debut solo album, called ‘Self-Titled’, in 2022.

In an interview in early 2024, Ben Lovett spoke about the idea of releasing new music, saying: “It just feels so great to be sharing new music again after all these years.”

Mumford added: “I think we always felt like we knew we were going to release some more music, but we wanted to wait for the right music. We’ve never been in haste, I don’t think. But when this music came around, we had a sense of urgency.”
