Mumford & Sons Announce Massive North American Summer Tour
Mumford & Sons’ anticipated new album, Prizefighter, is out today via Glassnote Records/Gentlemen of the Road. Stream/purchase HERE.
Long celebrated for their electric live performances, touring has defined Mumford & Sons from the beginning, in shaping their sound, building their global fanbase and fostering their collaborative spirit. Continuing that tradition, the group will kick off their massive North American headline Prizefighter Tour in June, including newly confirmed stops at New York’s Madison Square Garden, Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, Chicago’s Wrigley Field, Boston’s Fenway Park and Boulder’s Folsom Field among many others. Special guests throughout the tour include CAAMP, Lord Huron, Sierra Ferrell, Marcus King Band, Dylan Gossett and Medium Build. See below for complete tour itinerary.
Tickets for the North American tour will be available for pre-sale for AGORA members starting
Tuesday, February 24 at 10:00am local time with general on-sale following on Friday, February 27 at 10:00am local time. Full details can be found at www.mumfordandsons.com.
Mumford & Sons will have a limited number of student-priced tickets available for select shows*, expanding access for student fans. These will only be available to purchase in person at the box office on Friday, February 27 while supplies last.
The tour will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. Packages vary but include premium tickets, access to the pre-show Prizefighter club, exclusive VIP merchandise & more. VIP package contents vary based on the offer selected. For more information, visit vipnation.com.
Co-produced and co-written with The National’s Aaron Dessner, Prizefighter features collaborations with Hozier, Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton and Gigi Perez and finds Mumford & Sons at their most instinctive and open, capturing the sense of community and connection that has influenced them from the start.
Already receiving widespread attention, the band was recently featured on NPR’s Morning Edition, The Zane Lowe Show, Bert Kreischer’s The Bertcast, And The Writer Is… and Brittany Broski’s Royal Court, while NPR Music praises the album saying, “it’s pretty wonderful…this music is very evolved and intricate and exquisitely produced and performed. They are incredible musicians.”
The official music video for album track, “The Banjo Song,” is also out now, directed and produced by the Bristol based events collective, Streets of Soul, who cast the dancers solely from clubbers they met at their Bristol Northern Soul Club nights. Watch/share HERE.
Less than a year from the arrival of RUSHMERE, the band’s long anticipated #1 album in March 2025, Mumford & Sons take full advantage of a prolific period of songwriting with another full-length record in quick succession. For a band whose unique sound has helped to both influence and inspire countless artists all around the globe, Prizefighter is Mumford & Sons’ finest example of precisely how and why they lead by example.
The album sessions were as much about rediscovery as recording. Days spent writing in Hudson cafés and nights spent around Long Pond’s kitchen table gave rise to songs that feel unpolished in the best sense—alive with first takes and the joy of simply making music together again. Reenergized, rejuvenated and in the form of their lives, Prizefighter embraces and reflects that full-strength energy and enthusiasm with 14 songs of light, shade and everything in-between.

Jason Aldean & Luke Bryan Announce Additional Stadium Headline Dates: The “DOUBLE DOWN TOUR 2026”
Reigning ACM Artist of the Decade Jason Aldean and five-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan today announced the “DOUBLE DOWN TOUR 2026,” an expansion of co-headlining stadium dates set to kick off this August. The tour adds four additional concerts in 2026 following their sold-out UGA Sanford Stadium show last week (4/25) that reunited the Georgia natives in front of 63,000 fans. Watch a recap of the tour date here. Openers Gavin Adcock, Dasha, Chase Matthew, Jon Pardi, Dylan Scott, and Lauren Watkins have been added as support across select dates, listed below. Openers Dee Jay Silver & DJ Rock are across all dates. The tour is promoted by Live Nation.
Both Aldean’s and Bryan’s fan club members will have ticket presales starting Wednesday, May 6, at 10 AM local time and continuing through Thursday, May 7 at 10 PM local time, followed by local team presales starting Thursday, May 7, at 10 AM local time. Tickets to the public go on sale Friday, May 8, at 10 AM local time. Tickets are available at JasonAldean.com and LukeBryan.com.
“If our time in Georgia was a barometric measurement of what’s ahead, these shows with Jason will make it one of the best touring years of my life. And the fans will hopefully feel the same way,” shared Bryan.
“Luke and I have each been at this, career-wise and as friends, for over twenty years, and have gotten to hit a lot of milestones along the way. We’ve gotten to share the stage plenty of times over the years, and playing UGA was just a preview of what’s coming for the rest of these shows,” shared Aldean.
The tour will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. Packages vary but include premium tickets, exclusive access to a backstage tour, invitation to the pre-show VIP Tailgate Lounge, VIP-exclusive gift item & more.

Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Aldean released his latest studio album, Songs About Us, last week (4/24). The album features the Georgia native’s 31st career #1, “How Far Does A Goodbye Go,” as well as his current Top 15 radio single, “Don’t Tell On Me,” the album’s title track, “Songs About Us” with Luke Bryan, and more, totaling 20 new songs that have been praised as his “best album in a decade” (Entertainment Focus). Having cemented his status as one of the format’s most consistent hitmakers, ACM Artist of the Decade Aldean’s latest studio album Songs About Us follow’s Aldean’s career-spanning collection 30 Number One Hits, which debuted last year at No. 4 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart — marking Aldean’s 13th Top 10 country album in 20 years. Known for his electrifying live shows and breakout crossover hits, Aldean is set to hit the road for his “Songs About Us” Tour in July following his Full Throttle World Tour, which marked his first ever headlining run in New Zealand as well as his historic headlining return to Australia.
Luke will wrap his ninth season as a celebrity judge on American Idol alongside Carrie Underwood and Lionel Richie on May 11, and he will kick off his headline “Word On The Street Tour” on May 29. Since the start of his career, Luke has garnered more than 27 billion global streams, 12 million global album sales, and more than 48 million track sales worldwide, with 32 #1 singles. He became a SoundExchange Hall of Fame recipient as one of the most-streamed artists in the organization’s 20-year history. He has received more than 50 music awards, including Most Heard Artist of the Decade, Artist/Songwriter of the Year, Artist Humanitarian, and an ACM Lifting Lives Award honoring his devotion to improving lives through the power of music.

Foster the People Announce “Good Mourning Sunshine” North American 2026 Tour
Foster the People have announced their “Good Mourning Sunshine” North American 2026 Tour, bringing their signature blend of indie pop and electrifying live energy to cities across the U.S. and Canada this fall, with support from Goth Babe and The Beaches on select dates.
Promoted by Live Nation, the tour kicks off on September 9 at Arizona Financial Theatre in Phoenix, making stops in New York, Chicago, Toronto, Seattle, Boston, Washington DC, Nashville, Atlanta, Austin, and Houston, among others, before wrapping up in Los Angeles at the Greek Theatre on October 23.
Foster the People’s latest album Paradise State of Mind marked a major milestone for the band, earning their third Top 10 on Billboard’s Album Sales chart and widespread critical acclaim from outlets including Billboard, NME, AP News, Forbes, Clash Magazine, and Consequence. In 2025, the band brought the record to life on a sold-out global tour spanning North America, Europe, the UK, and Latin America. Building on that momentum, Foster the People recently debuted a brand new live show at Coachella, one they’ll bring across North America on the “Good Mourning Sunshine” tour this fall. Featuring stunning visuals, the production transports audiences through a 1950s-inspired utopia that slowly unravels into a psychedelic dream – a commentary on today’s state of the world that is as arresting as it is thought-provoking.
