British folk-rock heavyweights announce three arena shows with special guests Folk Bitch Trio.
British folk-rock favourites Mumford & Sons are heading back to Australia and New Zealand for arena shows in 2026.
The Grammy-winning four-piece will bring their Prizefighter Tour down under in April and May, hitting Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney and Spark Arena in Auckland. Mumford & Sons will be joined by special guests Folk Bitch Trio across all three dates, making for a pretty stacked lineup of folk-leaning acts.

The tour follows a sold-out one-night-only appearance at the Sydney Opera House back in March, but this time around the band are bringing the full arena production. It’s been a busy period for the West London group, who have somehow managed to squeeze two albums into a 12-month window.
The Prizefighter Tour supports their forthcoming sixth studio album of the same name, landing 13 February via Gentlemen of the Road/Island Records. The record was co-produced with The National’s Aaron Dessner at his Long Pond Studio and features guest appearances from Hozier, Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton and Gigi Perez. It arrives hot on the heels of Rushmere, which dropped earlier this year and debuted at number one in the UK.
Since forming in 2008, Mumford & Sons have gone from small London pub gigs to headlining festivals and topping charts globally. They’ve collaborated with the likes of Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Brandi Carlile along the way.
Tickets go on sale Friday 5 December at 11am local time, with various presales kicking off from Wednesday 3 December. One dollar from every ticket sold will go to War Child, supporting children affected by war.
