After shooting straight to number one in the UK album chart this past week with their second album ’Babel’ Mumford and Sons have revealed they do not believe they will get any bigger than they are right now.

After a near three year gap the London folk group have released the follow up to their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Sigh No More’ and it looks set to follow the same successful path. With sales of 159,000 copies last week ‘Babel’ became 2012's fastest-selling album and alongside a massive UK tour things don’t look like slowing down.

Multi-instrumentalist Ted Dwane has said "we want to deserve the place that we've got to and be good to the people who've been good to us. We're interested in travelling and sharing the music with as many people as possible” adding “I couldn't imagine it getting any bigger really. Then again, I said that after we sold out Shepherd’s Bush Empire so who knows."

The upcoming tour will see the band play some of their biggest headlines shows across the UK and Ireland includes a date at London's O2 Arena. Tickets are on sale now. For more information, visit Gigwise Gig Tickets.
