The British folk-rock band Mumford & Sons will bring their “Prizefighter Tour” to Montana State University’s Bobcat Stadium on Thursday, June 4th. Tickets are on sale to the public now.
The Bozeman show includes special guest Sierra Ferrell.
Mumford & Sons, formed in London in 2007, consists of Marcus Mumford (lead vocals, guitar, drums), Ben Lovett (keyboards, vocals) and Ted Dwane (bass, vocals). The band rose to international prominence with their 2009 debut album, Sigh No More, which featured hits like “Little Lion Man” and “The Cave.” Their earnest lyricism, driving acoustic instrumentation and anthemic crescendos helped spark a global revival of folk-inspired rock in the late 2000s.
The band’s 2012 follow-up album, Babel, debuted at No. 1 in both the U.K. and the U.S. and won a Grammy Award for album of the year. Over time, Mumford & Sons expanded their sound beyond traditional folk, incorporating electric instruments and arena-rock influences on later releases. Known for their passionate live performances and sweeping, introspective songs, the band has remained a defining force in contemporary British rock.
There is a six-ticket limit per household. Ticketing and more information is available at www.montana.edu/brickbreeden. •
