Mumford & Sons’ star-studded Railroad Revival Tour continues its march across North America, with the folk trailblazers being joined by a host of A-list acts throughout this run.
Each show on this limited series of shows features a blockbuster guest, and this week, during their performance in New Orleans, Lainey Wilson graced the stage for a stellar cameo.
The country megastar serenaded the Louisiana crowd with a galvanising cover of Shania Twain's iconic ‘90s hit, ‘Man! I Feel Like a Woman!’ as well as her rose-tinted single, ‘4X4XU’. The fact that Lainey Wilson was performing for her beloved home-state gave her appearance an added lustre, with Marcus Mumford taking to socials after the duet to express his gratitude to Wilson for coming out with him.
Last night, Mumford & Sons’ Simpsonville, South Carolina audience were treated to a performance from another country chart-topper, Darius Rucker. Ketch Secor, the lead singer of Old Crow Medicine Show, has been part of the band's all-star travelling band along with Nathaniel Rateliff, Trombone Shorty, Lucius and more.
Heartwarmingly, Marcus was joined by Ketch and Darius for a joyous, sing-a-long rendition of ‘Wagon Wheel’ during the encore. Ketch wrote the track in the ‘90s, with Darius elevating it into a global smash almost two decades later, so getting to hear these two greats perform the infectious anthem together was a truly special moment.
Excitingly, Marcus has confirmed Maggie Rogers will be the guest artist tonight (August 5th) in Richmond, Virginia, while Noah Kahan will be linking up with the band in Burlington, Vermont on Thursday. With Kahan hailing from Vermont and penning a slew of tracks honouring his home-state, this should be a spectacular occasion.
Marcus and Kahan joined forces at Austin City Limits back in October 2023, with each artist paying homage to one another since. We're still waiting on a collaboration - hopefully they'll kick around some ideas for a track while backstage this week...
