Cool As A Bonnaroo Cucumber Bruv

Wednesday, February 10, 2010

The young Mumfs are still on the Stars-and-Stripes side of the ATLANTIC OCEAN as I write, tirelessly touring Sigh No More, bringing their own brand of unique banjo heat, and even unique-er brand of hot bodies, to our American friend's ears and eyes. Mumford HQ received word that temperature had reached critical level and that the boys required an urgent cooling down; they tried 'chillaxing' poolside with Jeff Bridges and a couple of white russians, before listening to 'chillwave' with Ernest Greene while eating 'chillidogs' (note to self; chillidogs presumably quite hot, replace 'chillidogs' with 'icecream') - all epic 'chilling' sho' 'nuff, but to no avail. Sometimes you just can't beat the classics...

People often assume that TOUR is an endless succession of partying, drinking, dancing and general mayhem-ing. Not entirely true. Not entirely wrong, but not entirely true either. More often than not, when looking for the ultimate wind down, the uber chill, The Sons opt for a game of Buckaroo. Load that mule, cos you never know when he's gonna buck, buck, buckaroo. You should see their faces, they love it! Can't get enough of that donkey and his little sombrero.

The only thing better than Buckaroo is Bonnaroo. For those not in the know, Bonnaroo is an amazing four-day camping festival of music and more music held June 10th - 13th on 700 acres of farmyard in beautiful Manchester, Tenessee, USA and will this year see sets from Kings of Leon, Jigga, Phoenix, The Temper Trap, The XX, LCD Soundsytem and the mighty Avett Brothers! That's it I think... Oh, and Mumford & Sons will be playing too!! *scream/swoon*

Check the full line-up HERE! Fact fans go HERE! Those seeking truths and tickets head HERE!!

The campaign to get Mumford HQ out to to Bonnaroo starts here and now because this looks INCREDIBLE! You'd be a fool to miss out on this...!

  • I found out one day after that you played Lee's palace in Toronto. Broke my heart that I missed it. When I found out you guys were playing Bonnaroo it convinced me to get a ticket! All the way to Tennesee from Toronto to see you guys! Cannot wait

  • As long as you are already in TN, you may as well continue west and stop by Minneapolis, I can think of plenty of people who would love to see you and aren't able to make it out to the wonderful event which is Bonnaroo.

  • WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Live in Nashville; go to Bonnaroo every year; will be the glasses girl in the front row yelling my bloody head off. This is wonderful news. Just hoping they don't schedule y'all opposite Elvis Costello or Neko Case...they run three bands at once and sometimes there are these wrenching decisions.... But still. YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! WOOOO! My day is now made...

  • Dear M&S HQ I believe the Sons have whipped us in OZ into an almighty lather. Cop this: http://bigpondnews.com/articles/Entertainment/2010/02/15/Mumford_and_S ons_take_out_top_spot_429024.html Congrats and good luck with the album release in Chillville, USA

  • I have been on this planet a wee while and listened to all sorts of music every day of my life since I got a cassette player when I was 5. All that music and it is with no exaggeration that I state Mumford and Sons have become my favourite sound ever, my favourite poets ever and my favourite album ever. Bliss. What a job x

  • Oh please do come back to California! I missed your show in SF at Popscene. I was genuinely saddened. Looking forward to seeing you guys live!

  • Missed the SF show and we really bummed. Come back, please. The Strawberry Fest in CA is a great venue for you guys - memorial and labor day weekends. There's also the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in SF, Octoberish. Please come back!!!!
