One of 2009’s standout success stories, Mumford & Sons are set to serenade us on the Laneway Festival circuit this summer. The folk outfit has now added a single headline show in Sydney to its itinerary – and tickets are sure to be in hot demand.

The rise of Mumford & Sons is due largely to debut album Sigh No More, released this October to widespread acclaim. Its abundant charms are sure to translate winningly to the stage. For the diehards around the country who want more than just a festival set, a road-trip may be in order.

Mumford & Sons play the Oxford Art Factory, Sydney on Wednesday 3 February. Tickets on sale 9am Tuesday 1 December – best mark that one in the diary.
