Mumford & Sons announce details of their new album, ‘RUSHMERE’, their first since 2018’s Delta. It is set for release on 28th March 2025 through Island EMI Group / Glassnote.

To coincide, the band also share its debut single and the album’s title-track. A new video, portraying fans’ palpable excitement at hearing the single for the first time can be viewed HERE

Mumford & Sons released their debut album, Sigh No More, back in 2009. It blended their unique take on the classic folk blueprint with an exhilarating and euphoric sound more akin to a rock band and simultaneously helped to revive one of music’s earliest genres into a new century. It’s a sound that has since taken them on an incredible journey.

Through four albums, the British band have accumulated various awards for their work, notably two BRIT Awards, two GRAMMY Awards (including the prestigious Album of the Year), multiple chart-topping, multi-platinum album successes right across the globe, a string of festival headlining performances (including Glastonbury), and selling out arenas tour after tour (including their biggest numbers to date in the US in conclusion of the Delta tour back in 2019). A distinctively Mumford & Sons sound has since influenced and inspired recent artists to find huge success in their own right. You’d be hard pressed to find too many acts that follow a similar career trajectory.

Since the band’s last album release, they’ve explored solo passions and reconnected with friends and past collaborators. During a particularly prolific run of recent songwriting inspiration, it’s led them back to the magic of where it all started for them in a leafy suburb of London.

Rushmere is the spot where it all began for Mumford & Sons. The pond, located on Wimbledon Common in south-west London, is where Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, and Ted Dwane first hung out and imagined the initial idea of putting a band together. Rushmere was as familiar to them as the instruments they played, and is at the heart of their origin story.

RUSHMERE is the beginning for Mumford & Sons’ next phase, and it follows an intense period of creativity for the now trio (following the departure from the band of Winston Marshall in 2021). It’s an emphatic return.

The album was produced by six-time Grammy winner Dave Cobb and recorded at RCA Studio A in Nashville, in Savannah, GA, and back in the UK at Marcus’ studio in Devon.

Since the release of Delta, Marcus Mumford released his self-titled debut solo album in the Autumn of 2022, and last year, Mumford & Sons released a collaboration with Pharrell, Good People.

Mumford & Sons are Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, and Ted Dwane.
