Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. Listen up, 'Little Lion Men.' Starting June 5, Mumford and Sons officially launch the North American leg of their international 'Rushmere Tour' in support of their recently-released album. New York-based fans are in luck, too. This 42-concert trek includes four stops in the state. To kick their NY stint off, the 'I Will Wait' group headlines at Saratoga Springs' Saratoga Performing Arts Center on Saturday, June 21. Nearly two months later, the folk rockers drop into Forest Hills' Forest Hills Stadium on Friday, Aug. 8 and Saturday, Aug. 9. They'll close the New York portion of their run with a show at Buffalo's Keybank Center on Thursday, Oct. 16. They won't be going it alone at these shows either. The group has enlisted Nathaniel Rateliff, Japanese Breakfast, Gregory Alan Isakov, Sierra Ferrell, Lucius and more to open for them on select dates. And, while we can't predict what they'll take to the stage on this sprawling multi-country marathon of a tour, we expect a healthy dose of 'Rushmere' along with the hits you know and love. At their short surprise Stagecoach set, the ensemble performed nine songs according to Set List FM including the biggies like 'Little Lion Man,' 'The Cave' and 'I Will Wait.' If this sounds like the can't-miss show of the summer for you, tickets are available for all North American (and some European) Mumford and Sons 'Rushmere' concerts on Vivid Seats. At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets was $45.85 including fees. Other North American non-festival shows start anywhere from $53.15 to $298.50 including fees.

On July 19, the band will rock out at Whitefish, MT's three-day Under The Big Sky Festival, which goes down at the Big Mountain Ranch. They'll be joined on the bill by country icons Tyler Childers, Wynonna Judd, The Red Clay Strays, Wyatt Flores and Willow Avalon among others over the long weekend in Whitefish. If you'd like to be there, single and multi-day Under The Big Sky passes can be picked up here. Mumford and Sons set list In tandem with the release of the album, Mumford and Sons performed a handful of intimate pre-tour shows this spring. Based on our findings, the final gig went down at New York's Brooklyn Paramount Theater on March 26. For a closer look at what the band played that evening, take a look at what Set List FM reported. 01.) 'Rushmere' 02.) 'Babel' 03.) 'Little Lion Man' 04.) 'Lover of the Light' 05.) 'Caroline' 06.) 'Where It Belongs' 07.) 'Ghosts That We Knew' 08.) 'Awake My Soul' 09.) 'I Will Wait' 10.) 'Delta' 11.) 'The Wolf' Encore 12.) 'Timshel' 13.) 'Ditmas' 14.) 'Malibu' 15.) 'The Boxer' (Simon & Garfunkel cover) 16.) 'The Cave' Mumford and Sons new music On March 28, Mumford and Sons released their fifth studio album 'Rushmere,' which is named after where the band members first met in Wimbledon, U.K. And, for a record by one of the world's biggest bands, it's not long. In fact, the ten-track record is quite lean and mean, clocking in at a surprisingly brief 34 minutes and 22 seconds. This bloat-free offering starts small with the unassuming 'Malibu,' which builds into a longing chorus complete with an anthemic piano accompaniment. From there, Mumford employs his trademark yelp for the upbeat, hard-charging 'Caroline.' The switch from inspirational ballad to friendly jam is proof positive that the band still knows what make them so special- emotional epics and singalongs. They combine those qualities to great effect in the title track 'Rushmere.' The jangling three-minute tune is a ramshackle good time in step with the group's biggest hits. It's intimate, it's epic, it's inviting, it's everything you want a Mumford and Sons song to be complete with an unforgettable refrain — 'light me up I'm wasted in the dark/rush me a restless heart to the end' — that you won't be able to stop wailing in your best Marcus impression. Other standouts here include the funky, minimalistic, hand-clapping 'Truth' (arguably our favorite on the record, for the record), the so delicate it might wither away 'Where It Belongs' and 'Carry On,' which perfectly captures the bittersweet feeling of 'closing up shop.' If you'd like to hear the short yet epic album for yourself, you can find 'Rushmere' here. Mumford and Sons special guests All Mumford and Sons shows will come with a big name — yet down-to-earth — opening act or two. To make sure you're familiar with each artists' sound ahead of the show you attend, here are their most-streamed tracks on Spotify. Nathaniel Rateliff: 'S.O.B.' Trombone Shorty: 'Hold Up, Wait A Minute' Japanese Breakfast: 'Be Sweet' Gregory Alan Isakov: 'Big Black Car' Michael Kiwanuka: 'Cold Little Heart' Sierra Ferrell: 'Holy Roller' Gigi Perez: 'Sailor Song' Lucius: 'Two of Us On the Run' Margo Price: 'Roll Me Up And Smoke Me When I Die' (Live) Madison Cunningham: 'In My Life' Good Neighbours: 'Home' Divorce: 'Antarctica' Celisse: 'Just Across The River' Chris Thile: 'Heart In A Cage' Ketch Secor: 'Send No Angels' Leif Vollbeck: 'Long Blue Light' Huge artists on tour in 2025 Many of the biggest boot-stompin' acts with DIY aesthetics will be out and about this year. Here are just five of our favorites you won't want to miss live these next few months. • The Lumineers • Lord Huron • CAAMP • My Morning Jacket • Mt. Joy Also, old guard vets Paul Simon, Bob Dylan and Neil Young will be on the road as well. Need even more live music in your life?

Mumford and Sons to bring folk tunes to Berkeley
Mumford and Sons emerged from the West London folk community in the late 2000s, and have since become global sensations. The group formed in 2007, and is composed of multi-instrumentalists Marcus Mumford, Ted Dwane and Ben Lovett. They began to break into the U.S. mainstream in the early 2010s with tracks such as 'Little Lion Man' and 'The Cave,' eventually earning their first Grammy Award for their sophomore album 'Babel,' which released in 2012. Mumford and Sons have continued to release records periodically since, and Mumford ventured out on his debut solo project, 'Self-Titled,' in 2022 while continuing to make music with the band. He performed at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass that same year. Now, fans can catch the folk rock group at UC Berkeley's Greek Theater on Monday-Tuesday, June 9-10.

Carey Mulligan insisted on watching 'Wicked' alone at first
Carey Mulligan refused to watch 'Wicked' with her husband and children at first. The 39-year-old actress and her Mumford and Sons lead singer spouse, Marcus Mumford, 38, have three children together - Evelyn, nine, Wilfred, seven, and a baby daughter whose name and sex have not been publicly revealed - and Carey wanted to see the musical fantasy film first because she was "very excited" but wanted to determine if the children would find it boring. Carey told Ed Gamble, 39, and James Acaster, 40, on the 'Off Menu' podcast: "I went to 'Wicked' on my own, and Marcus took the children because I wanted to experience it without my children. "I don't want to be sitting there thinking like, is this scary, or is this boring to them? "So, I went on with my friends." Carey "loved" the Jon M. Chu adaptation of the hit musical, which tells the untold story of the Witches of Oz, and stars Cynthia Erivo, 38, as the film's protagonist, Elphaba, and Ariana Grande, 31, as the Good Witch of the North, Glinda. And she eventually took her kids to watch movie too, but she made sure to take them each in turn. 'The Ballad of Wallis Island' star said: "I then took them separately to see it, to be fair. "But I wanted the first time because I was very excited about 'Wicked', and I loved it." Carey also revealed how she has given food nicknames, based on how one of her and Marcus' children pronounces them. Asked by comedian Ed if she had anything from her family that she calls "weird things", 'The Great Gatsby' actress revealed: "Well, just because of the children, sausages became ooze ooze. just because one of them couldn't say it." "You know, it's where all the nicknames come from. It's you just - they can't say it. So, they make up their own things." Carey and Marcus welcomed their youngest daughter in 2023, and she said that year the tot is a "10 out of 10 so far". Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the Variety Power of Women Los Angeles gala on November 16, 2023, she said: "Oh, she's great. Great. Good baby, 10 out of 10, so far. We'll see how long that lasts." And Carey was "very happy" when fellow actress Emily Blunt, 42, who has Hazel, 11, and Violet, eight, with her husband John Krasinski, 45, "stole" her baby for "a good 20 minutes" to cuddle her. She quipped: "She stole my baby for a good 20 minutes, and I was very happy with that."

Inside Grammy winner Winston Marshall's crusade to save the UK from woke radicalism: ‘Britain's in real trouble'
Winston Marshall — the banjo player turned podcaster who left Mumford and Sons after supporting anti-Antifa views — may have surprised White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt this week with his shock question about whether the Trump Administration would grant Brits asylum for free-speech issues. But the 37-year-old is dead serious about his crusade to save his home country from what he describes as an alarming two-tier justice system: one that's grown exponentially in recent years and gives minorities and 'marginalized communities' a pass while sending English grandparents to jail for reposting memes and attending protests.. 'Frankly, Britain's in real trouble, and I feel very dedicated now to my country and trying to pull it back from the brink,' Marshall told The Post Tuesday. 'And so in that sense, it's the most meaningful work I've ever done in my life.' In February, a 74-year-old Scottish woman was arrested for silently holding up a sign outside an abortion clinic, asking people walking in if they wanted to chat with her. 4 Former Mumford & Sons banjoist Winston Marshall (center) stunned White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Monday when he asked if President Trump would grant asylum to Brits convicted of alleged hate speech crimes. X / @MrWinMarshall Rose Docherty was the first person arrested under the so-called 'Safe Access Zones Act,' a 2024 law forbidding even the peaceful exercise of speech within 200 meters of abortion clinics. Similar cases are springing up more often. In 2023, Isabel Vaughan-Spruce was arrested in Birmingham for silently praying outside a clinic; in 2022 Adam Smith-Connor was charged in Bournemouth for the same 'crime.' One grandfather, 61-year-old Peter Lynch, who was convicted of violent disorder after going to a protest last summer in front of a hotel used to house asylum seekers, died last October while serving a two year and eight month prison sentence. 4 Marshall, scion of an aristocratic European family, is seen here in 2019 with Mumford & Sons in Las Vegas. He left the group in 2021. Getty Images Earlier this year, JD Vance tangled with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer over what the vice-president said was the growing loss of free speech issue in the UK. 'It's OK to think differently,' Marshall said. 'It was the great American Thomas Jefferson who said, if we all are thinking the same then no one is thinking. So I am concerned about the tribalism of it all, but it does not need to be that way.' The BBC reported last fall that 30 people in the UK were arrested over social media posts during the UK riots in August 2024 and at least 17 were charged. The racially charged demonstrations took place after three white British girls were murdered and several others injured by the teenaged son of Rwandan immigrants. Marshall — who left Mumford & Sons in 2021 after he caught flak for praising conservative journalist Andy Ngo's book 'Unmasked' — said that, since 2023, more than 250,000 people in the UK have been issued summonses for what are called 'non-hate crime' incidents. 4 Adam Smith-Connor of Bournemouth in the UK was charged with silently parying outside an abortion clinic in 2022. He was handed a two-year conditional discharge and ordered to pay more than $12,000 in fines. ADF UK That was on his mind Monday at the White House, where the independent journalist and podcaster from 'The Winston Marshall Show' was in attendance as part of the Trump administration's new directive to offer access to 'alternative' media as well as legacy reporters. Referencing 'extensive prison sentences for tweets, social media posts and general free speech issues,' he asked Leavitt: 'Would the Trump administration consider asylum for British citizens in such a situation?' Leavitt replied that, while 'I have not heard that proposed to the president … I certainly can talk to our national security team and see if it's something the administration would entertain.' Marshall told The Post that he has not met Trump but hopes the president takes his concerns seriously. 4 Marshall in front of the UK Prime Minister's residence at 10 Downing Street. Winston Marshall / Instagram 'One of the big lessons through all of my experiences is say what you think, speak the truth as you see it, and you end up attracting people who, if they don't agree with you, they at least are attracted to the fact that you say what you think, and I think that that's the best way to live,' he said. 'My personal way through life is to say, speak, speak.' He said he considers himself a 'classic liberal in the old English sense' and would not necessarily describe himself as MAGA. He said he is in favor of some of Trump's policies and not others.
