Mumford and Sons to Play the Downtown Raleigh Amphitheater in June
We hear that the English folk band Mumford and Sons will be coming to the Downtown Raleigh Amphitheater in June after their show at Bonnaroo. We aren't sure of the exact date yet or the opener yet but are sure this will be a great show and a good amount of tickets will be sold. Mumford and Sons performed with North Carolina's The Avett Brothers and Bob Dylan on the Grammys last month and their album sales skyrocketed afterwards. Their debut album Sigh No More was nominated for two Grammys and peaked at #2 on the Billboard Charts in the US.
Ryan Bingham, Junip, Sharon Van Etten, Deer Tick, Old Crow Medicine Show, Jessican Lea Mayfield and Phosphorescent are all at Bonaroo as well and would fit the bill well as an opener for this show.
Hey, a commenter (Carey) on New Raleigh voted for Mumford and Sons last year when we put together our list of bands we'd love to see the Amphitheater.

I pirated the album, was less than impressed but liked the grammy show. They will be great live.

Since they are at Bonnaroo Sat 6/11 and Telluride Sun 6/19, it’s probably between then. After CO, they go to the UK.

I don’t care for Mr. Mumford’s nepotism.

I think the Avett brothers were too busy getting blown off the stage to be able to do much of anything at the Grammys

They would be another great free show for Alive After 5 or the Budlight Downtown live series.
