Mumford & Sons 2026 Tour Dates & New Album ‘Prizefighter’ Details

Mumford & Sons are embarking on a substantial North American tour in 2026, supporting their newly released album, Prizefighter. The tour, kicking off June 2nd in Vancouver, British Columbia, will spot the British folk-rock band performing at iconic venues like Wrigley Field in Chicago and Fenway Park in Boston – first-time appearances for the band at these historic stadiums. This tour marks a significant moment for Mumford & Sons, building on the success of their latest musical offering and promising a dynamic live experience for fans across the continent.

The release of Prizefighter, through Glassnote Records on February 20th, signals a modern chapter for the band, co-written and co-produced with Aaron Dessner, known for his work with The National and his contributions to Taylor Swift’s critically acclaimed albums. Dessner’s involvement represents a return collaboration, having previously worked with Mumford & Sons on their 2015 chart-topping album, Wilder Mind. The album itself features a compelling array of guest artists, including Hozier, Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton, and Gigi Perez, adding further depth and dimension to their signature sound. The band’s creative process, as described by Dessner on Instagram, was remarkably organic, evolving from impromptu studio sessions into a full-fledged collaborative album.

Prizefighter and a Collaborative Spirit

The genesis of Prizefighter stemmed from a chance encounter between Dessner and the band at New York’s Electric Lady Studios in May 2024. Dessner recounted on Instagram that the meeting quickly evolved into a creative partnership, with shared ideas and sketches forming the foundation of the album. He described the process as feeling like “joining their band for a year,” emphasizing the seamless and intuitive nature of the collaboration. This collaborative spirit extends beyond the studio, as evidenced by the diverse roster of guest musicians featured on the album.

Dessner specifically highlighted “Conversation with My Son” as a particularly emotionally resonant track, noting his contribution of an acoustic guitar solo inspired by the legendary Jerry Garcia. This personal touch underscores the depth of feeling woven into the album’s fabric. The release of the album was accompanied by a music video for “The Banjo Song,” which creatively features dancers sourced from attendees of events hosted by Streets of Soul, a Bristol, U.K.-based events company, showcasing a unique connection to the local dance community.

Tour Dates and Supporting Acts

The 2026 North American tour will span from June through October, encompassing a mix of stadium, arena, and amphitheater performances, as well as appearances at several music festivals. The tour begins on June 2nd at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC, and includes stops at Bobcat Stadium in Bozeman, Montana on June 4th, and Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado on June 6th. Notably, the Wrigley Field show on June 11th and the Fenway Park performance on June 22nd represent landmark moments for the band, marking their debut performances at these iconic baseball stadiums.
