Mumford & Sons in Grand Rapids

Mumford & Sons are a British folk-rock band formed in London in 2007. They became known through the album Sigh No More and songs including “Little Lion Man” and “The Cave,” followed by Babel and “I Will Wait.” Later albums such as Wilder Mind and Delta expanded their sound beyond the acoustic instrumentation of their early records. The 2011 Railroad Revival Tour took the band across the United States by train alongside Old Crow Medicine Show and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Beginning in 2012, their Gentlemen of the Road Stopovers brought multi-act events to towns selected by the band, and in 2013 they headlined the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival. The Delta Tour began in 2018 and included arena dates in Europe and North America. In 2015, the band headlined both Reading Festival and Leeds Festival. The same year also brought a headline performance at Bonnaroo.

The Marcus King Band is an American blues-rock and Southern-rock group formed in Greenville, South Carolina, in 2013 and led by singer-guitarist Marcus King. The band introduced its guitar-led sound on Soul Insight, followed by The Marcus King Band and Carolina Confessions; its best-known songs include “Rita Is Gone” and “Goodbye Carolina.” In 2017, the group launched the Marcus King Band Family Reunion, a multi-artist festival held at Pisgah Brewing Company in Black Mountain, North Carolina. Alongside that annual gathering, the band has performed at Bonnaroo and The Peach Music Festival.
