Mumford & Sons have added two extra dates to their upcoming UK arena tour after selling out all previous dates within two hours.
Earlier this month, the band announced a 21-stop tour of the UK and Europe to support their new album ‘RUSHMERE’, which is set for release on March 28 via Island/Glassnote (pre-order/pre-save here).
Those shows kick off at the Avicii Arena in Stockholm on November 6, with the UK dates starting with Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on December 2, followed by Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, Cardiff and London.
Now, two new dates have been added, with a date at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena on November 29 and then Leeds’ First Direct Arena on November 30. A pre-sale for tickets to the two shows begins at 10am on Wednesday (March 26) – find tickets here.

The band have implemented a £1 donation to Live Trust for every ticket sold for the UK dates, with the money going to the new funding initiative from LIVE that offers financial support to those working in live music. They have also partnered with PLUS1 so that £1 from every ticket sold will go to War Child.
They have also been added to the bill for Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Liverpool – set to headline the main stage on May 25.
‘RUSHMERE’ marks Mumford & Sons’ first album as a trio, comprising Marcus Mumford, Ted Dwane and Ben Lovett. Banjoist Winston Marshall departed the group in 2021, after facing backlash for praising a book by right-wing US journalist Andy Ngo.
In a three-star review of Mumford & Sons’ 2018 record ‘Delta’, Jordan Bassett wrote for NME: “A decade after they began their bid to become the most popular band in the world, Mumford & Sons are still pushing into unfamiliar territory. Lyrically, the record deals with the onset of maturity and this, combined with that forward-thinking approach, suggests Mumford & Sons are here for the long haul. It’s a far from perfect album, but the band’s hunger for new sounds must be applauded.”
