Spartanburg to Host Mumford & Sons Concert in 2025
Mumford & Sons is set to revive their iconic Railroad Revival Tour, which last took place in 2011, bringing live music back to audiences in various states. The tour will kick off on August 3, 2025, in New Orleans, Louisiana, and will feature a concert in Spartanburg, South Carolina, on August 4, 2025. The show will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Piedmont Fairgrounds.
The Railroad Revival Tour will also include additional performances in Richmond, Virginia on August 5, and Burlington, Vermont on August 7, 2025. Each stop on the tour is designed to be close to local train stations, underscoring the tour’s thematic connection to American railroads.
In a commitment to offer a diverse musical experience, the tour will feature an array of special guests. Among those slated to perform are Nathaniel Rateliff, Trombone Shorty, Madison Cunningham, Lucius, Celisse, Chris Thile, Ketch Secor, and Leif Vollebekk, with the possibility of more artists yet to be announced.
The tour’s announcement comes with a sense of nostalgia as the band expressed a desire to revisit what they referred to as “unfinished business” surrounding the legendary concept of the great American railroad. The original Railroad Revival Tour in 2011, which showcased support acts like Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes and Old Crow Medicine Show, was well-received and even inspired a documentary called “Big Easy Express.” This film, directed by Emmett Malloy, garnered a Grammy nomination for its portrayal of the band’s journey across the country.
Fans anticipating the concerts will be able to purchase tickets starting May 16, 2025, at 10 a.m. local time. For exclusive access, members of the Mumford & Sons’ Agora fan community can buy presale tickets a day earlier, on May 15, 2025, at 10 a.m. local time.
Mumford & Sons is not only reviving the Railroad Revival Tour but is also embarking on a separate traditional North American tour in support of their latest album, “Rushmere.” This tour is set to begin on June 5, 2025, in Bend, Oregon, and will culminate on October 26, 2025, in Omaha, Nebraska.
As the details of the revival tour are unfolding, fans of Mumford & Sons are excited to witness the return of a beloved event that has previously left a significant mark on the cultural landscape of music festivals. The decision to bring the Railroad Revival Tour back reflects both a commitment to celebrating live music and a deep appreciation for the historical significance of railroads in American culture.
For information on ticket sales and further announcements regarding the tour, fans are encouraged to stay informed through official communication from the band as the dates approach.
