Mumford & Sons Headline Innings Festival Day 1 with Folk-Rock Anthems

Mumford & Sons delivered a stirring set of heartfelt folk-rock at the Innings Festival on Friday, February 20, 2026. Starting at 9:00 p.m. on the Home Plate Stage at Tempe Beach Park, the London trio brought their signature blend of stomping rhythms, soaring harmonies, and emotional storytelling—qualities that have kept their music feeling vital and communal even as the broader scene evolves. I had been waiting on this show all day. Today coincided with the newest album release,

Marcus made a small joke about Americans, especially at this festival, with many fans dressed in baseball uniforms, “Looks like you’re ready to go in, if needed.”
