Mumford & Sons Plans Sixth Album Prizefighter Featuring Hozier, Abrams, Stapleton

Mumford & Sons have announced their sixth studio album, Prizefighter, set for release on February 13, 2026, following their comeback album Rushmere earlier in 2025. The new album was co-written and co-produced with Aaron Dessner of The National at Long Pond Studios and features notable collaborations with Hozier, Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton, and Gigi Perez, including the lead single "Rubber Band Man" with Hozier. Frontman Marcus Mumford expressed excitement about the band's creative prime and described the album as a mix of serious, playful, bruised, and hopeful tones, emphasizing the band's comfort in their artistic identity. The band wrote more than an album's worth of songs in just ten days, embracing a prolific and instinctive creative process bolstered by collaborations. Prizefighter will be supported by a 22-date UK and European tour, culminating in hometown shows at London’s O2 Arena. This release marks Mumford & Sons' continuing evolution and collaborative spirit after the departure of Winston Marshall, with the band feeling reinvigorated and confident in their direction.
