There was still one headliner spot for the coming edition of Rock Werchter waiting to be filled. Now the deed is done. Mumford & Sons headline on the 2nd day of Rock Werchter 2015. A joyous reunion with Marcus Mumford and his band awaits you on Friday 26 June.

The name Mumford & Sons exudes substance and the same quality is found in the London group's sound. They make metropolitan folk music which is jam-packed with accordions, banjos and double bass. This is clearly what the world was waiting for. Their first album 'Sigh No More' (2009), with the evergreen 'Little Lion Man', was sold more than 3 million times in Great-Britain and the United States alone. The trophy cabinet was immediately filled. It was only after a year and a half on the road that they found the time to work on a follow-up. The group warned us that there would be a lot of Black Sabbath on it. But in the end 'Babel' (2011) quietly continues on familiar territory. On 30 June 2012 they did an impressive job of filling the meadow in Werchter. In March 2013 Mumford & Sons played their biggest concert hall to date in the form of the Sportpaleis in Antwerp. During a long break they made a third album with James Ford, of Arctic Monkeys fame and Haim. "Wilder Mind" is now ready and comes out on 4 May.
