Simpsonville, S.C. — Mumford & Sons will be performing at CCNB Amphitheatre in Simpsonville on August 4, 2025. This announcement comes after a venue change from the originally planned location at Piedmont Interstate Fairgrounds in Spartanburg, S.C. The shift was confirmed on July 14, 2025, following a prior cancellation notification issued by Live Nation on July 11.
Joining Mumford & Sons at this concert will be Darius Rucker, the former lead singer of Hootie & The Blowfish, who is well-known for his successful solo career. The concert is part of the much-anticipated Railroad Revival Tour, which showcases a lineup of special guests and an all-star house band traveling with Mumford & Sons throughout various locations across the country.
Zach Fox, the Director of Communications at OneSpartanburg, indicated that the choice for the CCNB Amphitheatre was made because it “proved to be a better fit” for the concert. This larger venue may accommodate more fans and provide a more optimal experience for both the audience and performers.
The Railroad Revival Tour will kick off with a performance in New Orleans at Champions Square on August 3, followed by the Simpsonville concert on August 4. Additional stops include Richmond, Virginia, on August 5, and Burlington, Vermont, on August 7. The special guests for the Richmond and Burlington shows have yet to be announced, adding an element of surprise for concertgoers in those cities.
This tour marks the return of Mumford & Sons to the stage after a long hiatus, and they are particularly excited to perform in smaller towns, where they believe unique cultural experiences await. Their expanded fan base is expected to enjoy an exclusive opportunity to be part of an open mic event held before and after the main concert, allowing local talents to showcase their skills.
Mumford & Sons have a rich musical history, having first formed in 2007 and since then releasing five studio albums. Their latest album, titled Rushmere, was released in March 2025, further contributing to their celebrated discography. Each concert in the current tour will present a different setlist featuring songs from all of their albums, allowing fans to experience a diverse range of the band’s work.
The first Railroad Revival Tour took place in 2011 and was memorialized in the documentary “Big Easy Express,” which received a Grammy Award, solidifying the band’s reputation in the music industry. Mumford & Sons’ blend of folk-rock sound has attracted a loyal following, and the upcoming shows are anticipated to draw large crowds eager to partake in the band’s enchanting performances.
Overall, with its intimate setting and curated events, the upcoming concert at CCNB Amphitheatre marks a significant moment for both the band and their fans. As they return to live performances after a lengthy period, the excitement surrounding this tour is palpable, promising an unforgettable experience for all attendees.
