Watch: Mumford & Sons shock Dublin revellers with surprise gig

Mumford & Sons have shocked Dublin pub revellers with a surprise gig, ahead of their huge concert in Malahide Castle. The band, fronted by Marcus Mumford, are headlining at Malahide on Friday, to over 20,000 fans of the folk band. However, 250 patrons in the beer garden of O'Donoghue's Pub were treated to a surprise gig by the band, as they went through the hits for an acoustic set. @universalmusicireland Surprise! Mumford & Sons popped up in O'Donoghue's Pub in Dublin to surprise fans before their headline show tomorrow at Malahide Castle 🖤 #ireland #mumfordandsons #livemusic #dublincity ♬ original sound – Universal Music Ireland A video of the band playing Little Lion Man was shared to TikTok by Universal Music, with some fans of the band who were in the city (just not the pub) raging that they missed out on the intimate gig. 'One day I'll be in the right place at the right time,' one person wrote, while another commented 'damn it I should have stayed in Dublin just 1 extra night.' Another person who was in the beer garden managed to get several videos of the secret gig, where Marcus joked that the fans needed to 'play a game of shut the f**k up' (granted, it was probably necessary as there were no mics), before the crowd sang along with them and regaled them in an olé olé chant.
