Mumford and Sons for Railroad Revival Tour

This April sees a tour like no other get underway, as Mumford & Sons, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros and Old Crow Medicine Show set out to cross the American Southwest in one week - traveling just in vintage railcars.

The 'Railroad Revival Tour' will feature the three bands playing concerts at six unique outdoor locations along the route, beginning April 21st in Oakland, California.

The bands are funding it themselves and even building their own venues at each of the locations.

According to a spokesperson: "The bands will eat, sleep, and record on the train as they travel across the American Southwest, bringing their collaborative vision to fans from California to New Orleans. The bands will have equal billing and equal time on stage, in an environment that encourages creativity and cross-pollination. The entire tour will be the focus of a documentary that captures the spirit of the journey and gives intimate insights into the creative process."

Meanwhile, Alex Ebert of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros commented; "This tour is going to be rad."
