Mumford & Sons are bringing their massive Prizefighter North America Tour to Bobcat Stadium on June 4th, with special guest Sierra Ferrell!

Tickets go on sale tomorrow, Friday, February 27th at 10:00am MST, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they sell out pretty fast.

Known for their electric, arena-filling live shows, Mumford & Sons are hitting some of the biggest venues in the country this summer, and fortunately for us, Bozeman made the list.

Their brand-new album Prizefighter is out now, and this tour marks one of their biggest North American runs yet.

Set your alarm for 10:00am MST this Friday to get tickets, and hopefully, we’ll all see each other there 🤞
