Mumford & Sons surprised fans at their BST Hyde Park headline show by bringing out Shania Twain and Hozier – check out footage below.
The alt-folk veterans took to the Great Oak Stage for the 2026 summer series last night (July 4), with the huge slot coming in support of their sixth studio album ‘Prizefighter‘ – which dropped last month and features huge names like Hozier, Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton, and Gigi Perez – and also comes 10 years after they first headlined.
Kicking off with ‘Begin Again’ from that album, Marcus Mumford told fans: “Good evening my friends, we’re Mumford & Sons and after all this time, in our hometown, we didn’t come to fuck around.”
They then stormed through ‘I Will Wait’, ‘White Blank Page’, ‘Lover Of The Light’, ‘Hopeless’ and ‘Badlands’, before being joined by “the kindest man in music” in Hozier, who joined them for their collab ‘Rubber Band Man’ and ‘Awake My Soul’.
Later on in the set, they teased that they had another “cheeky surprise” in store, with Mumford admitting: “It was a surprise for us too actually – let’s just give it up for Shania Twain”.
