Mumford & Sons returned to NBC’s Saturday Night Live this past weekend as musical guest for the fourth time, where they performed their new songs “Rubber Band Man” with Hozier and Aaron Dessner and Here with Sierra Ferrell and Dessner. They also appeared in a sketch alongside host Connor Storrie.
The performance celebrates the band’s acclaimed new album Prizefighter, which debuts at #10 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart this week (Gentlemen of the Road/Glassnote Records). Co-produced and co-written with The National’s Aaron Dessner, Prizefighter features collaborations with Hozier, Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton and Gigi Perez and finds Mumford & Sons at their most instinctive and open, capturing the sense of community and connection that has influenced them from the start.
Continuing to receive widespread attention, the band was recently featured on Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, NPR’s Morning Edition, The Zane Lowe Show, Men in Blazers, Bert Kreischer’s The Bertcast, And The Writer Is…, The Zach Sang Show, Brittany Broski’s Royal Court and Billboard’s Pop Shop Podcast, while NPR Music praises, “it’s pretty wonderful…this music is very evolved and intricate and exquisitely produced and performed. They are incredible musicians” and Rolling Stone declares, “an artisanally wrought balance of big-hug anthems and gentler folk moments…a record that’s steady, sturdy and vulnerable.”
Long celebrated for their electric live performances, touring has defined Mumford & Sons from the beginning, shaping their sound, building their global fanbase and fostering their collaborative spirit. Continuing that tradition, the group will kick off their massive North American headline Prizefighter Tour in June, including newly confirmed stops at New York’s Madison Square Garden (three nights), Los Angeles’ Kia Forum (two nights), Chicago’s Wrigley Field, Boston’s Fenway Park and Boulder’s Folsom Field among many others. Special guests throughout the tour include CAAMP, Lord Huron, Sierra Ferrell, Marcus King Band, Dylan Gossett and Medium Build.
Less than a year from the arrival of RUSHMERE, the band’s long anticipated #1 album in March 2025, Mumford & Sons take full advantage of a prolific period of songwriting with another full-length record in quick succession. For a band whose unique sound has helped to both influence and inspire countless artists all around the globe, Prizefighter is Mumford & Sons’ finest example of precisely how and why they lead by example.
The album sessions were as much about rediscovery as recording. Days spent writing in Hudson cafés and nights spent around Long Pond’s kitchen table gave rise to songs that feel unpolished in the best sense—alive with first takes and the joy of simply making music together again. Reenergized, rejuvenated and in the form of their lives, Prizefighter embraces and reflects that full-strength energy and enthusiasm with 14 songs of light, shade and everything in-between.
