Folk-rock titans Mumford & Sons have announced a second Melbourne performance for their highly anticipated 2026 ‘Prizefighter’ tour to meet overwhelming ticket demand. The Grammy-winning band will now perform back-to-back nights at Rod Laver Arena this April, marking their grand return to Australia and New Zealand. These arena dates follow the February 13 release of their sixth studio album, ‘Prizefighter’, a re-energized project co-produced by The National’s Aaron Dessner at his famed Long Pond Studio. The album, which follows hot on the heels of 2025’s chart-topping ‘Rushmere’, features a star-studded lineup of collaborators including Hozier, Chris Stapleton, and Gracie Abrams. Joining the band for all dates is the rising Melbourne ensemble Folk Bitch Trio, ensuring each night is a masterclass in modern folk storytelling.
Beyond the music, Mumford & Sons continue their long-standing commitment to global advocacy by partnering with PLUS1. $1 from every ticket sold on the ‘Prizefighter’ tour will be donated to War Child, an organization dedicated to protecting and educating children caught in the crossfire of international conflict. Since their formation in West London in 2008, the band has evolved from indie-folk darlings to global stadium headliners, consistently finding new ways to bridge the gap between intimate songwriting and massive, communal live experiences. General public tickets for all Australian and New Zealand dates are available now, offering fans the first opportunity to hear the band’s prolific new material alongside the career-defining anthems that made them a household name.
