Sydney is selling fast, and we expect the rest of the tour to do so as they go on sale today, so you better get in quick if you want to see their recent hit ‘Guiding Light’ performed live to Australian audiences for the very first time!

The recent release from their forthcoming album Delta, out November 16 via Dew Process / UMA, has been smashing streams globally, generating over 10 million streams worldwide in just a few weeks and is currently charting in the Top 50 of the AU iTunes Charts.

Recorded over the past two years with Paul Epworth (Adele, U2, London Grammar) at his Church Studios in North London, Delta aims to capture Mumford & Sons at their impassioned and muscular best. It transfixes on the transitional elements that give meaning to life itself.

Lead singer Marcus Mumford has been in the country this week and stopped by The Project to discuss their fourth studio album Delta, sixty date worldwide tour, stealing furniture at Glastonbury and  hitting the nets with Aussie cricketer Brett Lee.

Don’t miss out on seeing the brand-new Delta album performed across Australian stages next January 2019!

A huge, sixty date tour in thirteen different countries will be revealed on the 5th October, starting later this year.

Since the release of Wilder Mind in May 2015, and the collaborative Johannesburg mini-album in the Summer of 2016, Mumford & Sons have found a rich, prolific vein of form in the writing for Delta. Where Wilder Mind harnessed a widescreen electric sound that seemed custom built to be belted back to them from the festival main stages, Delta loses none of that sense of scale, but couples it with an intimacy and jubilance that has so successfully combined to make Mumford & Sons one of the biggest bands of recent years. Guiding Light is the perfect example of that – a dizzying folk-rock song that builds, builds, explodes and then explodes again. An emphatic return.

Delta is a record of differing shades, colours and textures. It’s also a record that marks ten years since Mumford & Sons formed and draws on that shared experience of being on and off the road. It’s a moving collection of songs perhaps more intimate and expansive, both lyrically and musically, than ever before. It’s also a tender listen, introspective and reflective but married with those ecstatic stadium-sized dynamics. It sounds like a career-defining body of work.

Sigh No More, the band’s debut album, celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2019. It’s an album that lit the fuse for an incredible decade. Yet despite the multiple number one records that they have notched up across the world, it’s taking those songs out on the road that continues to define them. The announcement of Delta will be followed shortly by a sixty-date tour around the world, kicking off in November.

Delta is a substantial, exciting record by a British band in the form of their lives.

Delta will be out November 16!

In 2014 the band returned to the studio for some writing sessions at Aaron Dessner’s (The National) garage studio in Brooklyn, New York, before laying down tracks with producer James Ford (Arctic Monkey’s, HAIM, Florence & The Machine) in London. They released their third studio LP ‘Wilder Mind’ earlier this year. Marcus Mumford has described Wilder Mind as ‘a development, not a departure’ as the band expand their musical horizons whilst retaining key elements of their sound.

Mumford and Sons have had a long and prosperous relationship with Australia, we fell in love with the Brits right before the rest of the world cottoned on. 2009’s ‘Sigh No More’ drew us in, 2012’s ‘Babel’ got us hooked, and 2015’s ‘Wilder Mind’ is continuing to deepen our fascination. It flew into the ARIA charts, giving the band their first Aussie #1 week of release. The latest video for their single ‘The Wolf’ charts the band over 48 hours at the 2015 Bonnaroo Music & Arts festival in Tennessee in the USA. You can watch it here.

The band spent the beginning of the year performing intimate shows for fans in Berlin, London, LA and NYC, and are now in the middle of a world tour, playing huge headline shows in major cities around the globe. Earlier this year they also announced the return of their personally curated two day Gentlemen Of The Road Stopover Festivals in small and unique towns in the UK and USA. They are being joined by friends like The Flaming Lips, My Morning Jacket, Ben Howard, Primal Scream, James Vincent McMorrow, and rock superstars The Foo Fighters.
