Mumford & Sons Debut Acoustic Version Of BELOVED on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Mumford & Sons debuted an acoustic version of their new radio single, "Beloved," on last night's "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." The intimate performance featured the band surrounded by fans performing "in the round"-a first for the program. Watch HERE. They also performed an acoustic version of their #1 single, "Guiding Light," as a bonus web exclusive. Watch HERE.

"Beloved"-which is the #1 most added song this week at both Alternative and AAA radio-as well as "Guiding Light" are from the band's acclaimed new album Delta, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, Americana/Folk Albums, Alternative Rock Albums and Rock Albums charts with 230,000 equivalent album units earned (stream/purchase here). This is the band'sthird consecutive #1 debut, the largest sales week for an alternative rock album in 2018 and the sixth-largest debut among all titles last year (Gentlemen of the Road/Glassnote Records).

The band is currently in the midst of an extensive 63-date worldwide arena tour including upcoming North American stops at Lexington's Rupp Arena, Atlanta's State Farm Arena, Nashville's Bridgestone Arena and Chicago's United Center among many others. The band's largest tour to date, the Delta Tour 2018/2019 includes over 800,000 tickets, which are now on sale via www.mumfordandsons.com/live. Of their recent sold-out show at D.C.'s Capital One Arena, The Washington Post proclaims, "The U.K. quartet thrilled a packed Capital One Arena crowd..." and went on to praise their, "...undeniably wondrous arena rock anthems," while, of their sold-out concert at Philadelphia's Wells FARGO Center, Billboard declares, "It's exactly the kind of tour that will solidify their spot in the pantheon of arena-friendly bands." See below for complete tour details.

Marking ten years since Mumford & Sons made their meteoric debut, the new music follows 2015's Wilder Mind, which debuted at No. 1 in the U.S., U.K., Australia Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands and Norway and, most recently, 2016's collaborative Johannesburg mini album. Previous LPs include 2012's Babel, which was awarded the 2013 Grammy for Album of the Year, and their 2009 debut, Sigh No More.
