Folk-rock giants Mumford & Sons have officially announced a major London homecoming, confirming they will headline the prestigious BST Hyde Park festival in the summer of 2026. The band is set to take over the iconic green space on Saturday, July 4, 2026, marking a triumphant return a full decade after their last performance at the event.
A Decade-Long Wait Ends for London Fans
The British group, renowned for global anthems like 'Little Lion Man' and 'I Will Wait', expressed their excitement about the upcoming show.
