This sounds so right up my alley, I think I see a summer road trip in my near future. Mumford & Sons are doing a US Gentlemen of the Road Stopovers mini tour in August that is “based loosely upon our favorite festivals like Colorado’s Telluride Bluegrass and Scotland’s Loopallu Festivals. We want to stop off in towns where bands don’t usually tour, and celebrate the local people, food and music.” The Sons will not only headline but will also bring together a hand picked selection of other artists with them. Tickets are $69 and include a commemorative Gentlemen of the Road Stopover Passport (sweet!) along with a digital download compilation featuring performances taken from various acts from the four shows. Tickets for the Portland, Bristol, and Monterey Stopovers will go on sale this Friday June 1st at 10am and the Dixon Stopover will go on sale Saturday June 9th at 10am CT. A limited quantity of $59 early-bird tickets will be available for each site on a first-come, first-served basis. The full schedule below…
