The Stopovers combine the intimacy of a community celebration with the
excitement of a world-class music festival. Featuring local vendors and
activities, each Stopover will begin with a concert at a unique site and end
with a series of smaller events involving local businesses, venues, and,
most importantly, local people. Mumford & Sons will headline the main event,
alongside an eclectic and energetic roster of artists curated by the band
themselves.
These one-day, outdoor events will take place in four carefully-selected and unique locations across America, including the Eastern Promenade in
Portland, ME; downtown Bristol, VA/TN; Page Park in Dixon, IL; and the
legendary Fairgrounds in Monterey, CA.
Tickets to the Stopovers will be $69, with no additional service fees or
hidden charges. Each ticket will include a beautifully designed commemorative Gentlemen of the Road Stopover Passport, and an exclusive digital download compilation album featuring performances taken from various acts across the four shows. Tickets for the Portland, Bristol, and Monterey Stopovers will go on sale Friday, June 1 at 10am local time. The Dixon Stopover will go on sale Saturday, June 9th at 10am CT. Tickets for all Stopovers will be available exclusively at gentlemenoftheroad.com. A very limited quantity of $59 early-bird tickets will be available for each site on a first-come, first-served basis.
Mumford & Sons said: "The Gentlemen of the Road Stopover is based loosely
upon our favorite festivals like Colorado's Telluride Bluegrass and
Scotland's Loopallu Festivals. We want to stop off in towns where bands don't usually tour, and celebrate the local people, food and music.
We're keen to promote the town's local businesses, and we'll be using the
local bars and venues for after-show parties, whilst working closely with
the local people to get everyone involved in making these shows spectacular. There will be a host of our friends playing too, and the vibe falls
somewhere between 'travelling Victorian circus' and 'Victorian travelling circus'. It should be a whole lot of fun."
