Mumford & Sons Unveils Stacked Tracklist and All-Star Collaborations for New Album "Prizefighter"

British folk-rockers Mumford & Sons have announced their highly anticipated sixth studio album, "Prizefighter", set to arrive on February 13, 2026. The band has enlisted a veritable A-list of collaborators, including singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams, blues icon Chris Stapleton, and Irish singer Hozier.

The album marks a creative partnership with Aaron Dessner, a member of The National who worked with the band on its critically-acclaimed 2015 LP "Wilder Mind". This time around, Dessner took on the roles of coproducer and cowriter, working closely with Mumford & Sons' members Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, and Ted Dwane at Long Pond Studio in upstate New York.

Lead single "Rubber Band Man", featuring Hozier, has already made a significant impact, while the album's stacked tracklist promises to deliver on its promise of something special. Other notable collaborations include appearances by Abrams on "Badlands" and Chris Stapleton on the title track "Here".

In a statement, frontman Marcus Mumford expressed his excitement about the new album, stating that he believes the band is "hitting our prime as a creative force". With "Prizefighter", Mumford & Sons aim to harness their experience and chemistry to deliver an album that is both playful and serious.

Following the announcement, the band will embark on a 22-date UK and European fall tour, kicking off in Stockholm's Avicii Arena on November 6. The tour will conclude with two nights at London's iconic O2 Arena on December 10-11.

With "Prizefighter", Mumford & Sons promise to deliver an album that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. Fans can look forward to a new era of creative collaboration and musical exploration from one of the world's most beloved folk-rock bands.

And 22 dates in the UK and Europe? Mumford & Sons are gonna bring the house down 🏠. Did you know that their 2015 album "Wilder Mind" had a 74% Rotten Tomatoes score? 🔥 It's clear they've got some magic in the studio. Aaron Dessner's coproducer credit is no joke, btw – The National has a reputation for producing top-notch stuff 🎶. Anyway, can't wait to dive into "Prizefighter" and see what these talented mates come up with! 🤔

⭐️ I'm thoroughly enthused about this latest development in the Mumford & Sons camp! The prospect of an album featuring Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton, and Hozier on board is incredibly exciting – it's a veritable dream team if you ask me 🤩. With Aaron Dessner at the helm as coproducer and cowriter, I'm expecting something truly special from this collaboration. The idea that they're "hitting our prime as a creative force" is quite an assertion, but I have no doubt they'll deliver an album that's both playful and serious – it's a bold claim, but one I'd be eager to see come to fruition! 🎸
 
Wow 🤯, this sounds like gonna be epic! Mumford & Sons always bring the energy and with all these collabs, I'm hyped for the final product. Gracie Abrams and Chris Stapleton are insane choices, can't wait to hear what they bring to the table 🎸💥
 
omg did you guys ever try those spicy Korean chips at the mall food court? 🤯 they're literally life changing i mean i know mumford & sons is like super famous but have you heard their lead singer Marcus Mumford's accent its sooo good 😂 anyway back to the new album gotta say idk if i'm excited or nervous for it they've had some great collaborations in the past but this feels like a big deal 💥 maybe they'll play at our city festival next year 🤞 fingers crossed
 
man, think about it... when a band with a huge following like mumford & sons decides to collaborate with other artists on an album, what does that say about their own vision and values? are they trying to appeal to new ears or simply stay true to themselves? in a world where social media can make or break an artist's career, do they feel pressure to create something 'marketable' or are they truly following their hearts? i mean, the fact that they're working with someone like Aaron Dessner who's known for his work with the national shows that they're willing to take risks and push boundaries... but at the same time, how much of an influence does that have on their creative process? 🤔💭
 
Ugh, another band throwing their money at collaborations 🤑... like we haven't heard it all before. "Prizefighter" is gonna be another overhyped album with too many guest stars trying to bring some 'cool factor'. I mean, what's wrong with the lads just sticking together and making some decent music? Don't get me wrong, I love a good folk-rock tune as much as the next person 🎸, but all these fancy producers and singers... it just feels like a calculated attempt to stay relevant. And don't even get me started on the tracklist - 22 tracks is a bit excessive if you ask me... gonna be a chore to listen through that whole thing 😒
 
I'm so stoked for their new album... it's been ages since they've put out something new and I'm still on "Babel" vibe, you know? 🎶 This time around with all these collaborations, I'm curious to see how Marcus & the gang will bring it all together. Gracie Abrams on one track is gonna be lit 💥, can't wait to get my hands on that. Also, Chris Stapleton on a song is always a win, he's like the folk-rock king 🤠. The title track sounds kinda interesting too... I'm all for them trying something new, but at the same time, you never wanna mess with perfection, right? 😊
 
"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone." 💫🎸 I'm stoked to see Mumford & Sons pushing their boundaries with "Prizefighter". Collaborations with Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton, and Hozier are gonna bring a fresh vibe to their signature sound. With Aaron Dessner on board, this album's gotta be fire 🔥. Can't wait for the UK/Europe tour! 🎟️
 
omg i'm literally shakin' 🤩 - mumford & sons are back and it's gonna be EPIC!!! 😍 i mean, who wouldn't want collabs with gracie abrams, chris stapleton, and hozier??? 🎸🎶 it's like a dream team come true! and marcus mumford says they're hitting their prime as a creative force - i'm SO here for that 💯 can't wait to dive into the new album "prizefighter" on feb 13, 2026!!! 📆 fall tour? uk and europe? count me in!! 🎟️
 
omg 🤩 just heard about the collabs for their new album, prizefighter 🎶 it sounds like they're gonna kill it! Gracie Abrams and Chris Stapleton on the tracklist? yes, please 🙌 and a statement from Marcus saying they're hitting their prime as a creative force? i got faith in these guys 😉 the vibe is all about blending playfulness with depth, can't wait to dive into it 💥
 
idk about this new album... sounds like mumford's sons are tryin' too hard to be relevant 🤔 they're enlistin' all these big-name collaborators, but is it just a bunch of flash and not enough substance? i mean, marcus mumford's been sayin' stuff like they're "hitting our prime" as a creative force... yeah right 🙄. what's changed between this album and the last one? are they just tryin' to cash in on their folk-rock reputation or is there actually somethin' new goin' on here?
 
I'm low-key hyped for this new Mumford & Sons album lol 🤩! I love how they're collaborating with all these talented artists, it's gonna be so interesting to see what kind of magic happens in the studio. Marcus said he thinks they're hitting their prime as a creative force, and I gotta agree, they've been killing it for years now 💥. The fact that Aaron Dessner is on board too is a big plus, he's like a genius or something 🤓. Can't wait to dive into "Prizefighter" in February 2026!
 
🎸 I'm hyped for this new album, but I gotta say, I'm a bit curious about how it'll all come together - Aaron Dessner's involvement is huge 🤔. Will they be able to balance their signature sound with these all-star collaborations? It feels like a recipe for something special... or a mess 😅. Either way, can't wait to dive in and see what "Prizefighter" brings!
 
I gotta say, I'm super stoked about this new album by Mumford & Sons!!! They've got an all-star lineup, which is awesome! I mean, who wouldn't want to collaborate with Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton, and Hozier?! The fact that Aaron Dessner is involved too, as a producer and cowriter, is gonna be super interesting. I'm loving the idea of them pushing their creative boundaries and exploring new sounds. The band's been through some changes in the past, but it seems like they're on a roll now! 😊 And, let's be real, Marcus Mumford's confidence in the album is infectious – I'm hyped to see what they've got cooking! 💥
