Mumford & Sons reveal dates for their 2026 Australian Arena Tour

Prepare your waistcoats and tune your mandolins: Mumford & Sons are officially coming back to Australia in 2026. This will be their first full-scale arena tour on Australian soil since the pre-pandemic days.

Following a sold-out, one-night-only performance at the Sydney Opera House earlier this year, the British folk-rock band will perform in Melbourne and Sydney next March. The shows will feature new songs from their upcoming sixth studio album, Prizefighter (released 13 February), and local rising stars Folk Bitch Trio will open each date.

Produced alongside Aaron Dessner of The National at Long Pond Studio, Prizefighter represents a bold new chapter for the Grammy-winning group. This follows their 2025 release Rushmere, which debuted at #1 in the UK. The album boasts collaborations with artists such as Hozier, Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton, and Gigi Perez. Fans can expect the 2026 concerts to blend fresh material with the cinematic folk anthems that have made Mumford & Sons festival favorites worldwide.

Formed in West London in 2008, Mumford & Sons grew from intimate pub gigs to global recognition, propelled by banjos, emotional intensity, and sing-along choruses that energize entire crowds. Over the years, they have collaborated with icons like Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Joni Mitchell, and Brandi Carlile, solidifying their reputation as one of modern folk-rock's most collaborative and emotionally resonant bands.

If the Opera House show was just a teaser, the upcoming arena tour promises an all-encompassing experience.
