Mumford & Sons – Outstore Live at Rock City, Nottingham (Matinee Show)
Rough Trade brings Mumford & Sons to Rock City for a special one-night-only Outstore performance on Tuesday 10 February 2026 for Two shows! One Matinee show and one evening show! For a band that usually sells out arenas worldwide, this intimate 1,900-cap show is a rare chance to see them up close in one of the UK’s most iconic venues.
A band that reshaped modern folk rock
Since forming in London in 2007, Mumford & Sons have become one of the most influential British bands of the 21st century. Their signature blend of folk, rock, Americana, vocal harmonies and emotional intensity helped shape a new wave of alternative folk that dominated the 2010s.
Their breakout album Sigh No More (2009) introduced their signature sound — banjos, soaring vocals and huge choruses — while Babel (2012) launched them to global superstardom, debuting at No.1 in both the UK and US and earning a Grammy Award for Album of the Year.
From festival headlines to sold-out world tours, their live reputation has only grown stronger over time.
Evolution, reinvention, and a bigger sound
While early work was driven by acoustic instruments and high-energy folk, later albums such as Wilder Mind (2015) and Delta (2018) took the band into new territory — swapping banjos for electric guitars, synths and atmospheric production.
Their catalog now spans:
-
explosive folk anthems
-
introspective ballads
-
alternative rock
-
expansive, cinematic arrangements
For fans, this is a once-in-a-decade chance to experience Mumford & Sons the way they started: close, raw and genuinely personal.

“A sweeping, atmospheric reinvention from a band unafraid to experiment.”
