Mumford & Sons are set to be joined by some big name bands for their 2013 Gentlemen of the Road Stopover events, announcing Vampire Weekend and The Vaccines for the shows. Tickets are on sale now.
The shows began in 2012 and were incredibly successful all day outdoor events, which took place in Huddersfield and Galway in the UK, as well as American and Australian locations.
Mumford have now announced five dates to take place this year, one of which will take place in the UK, and the shows will be expanded into a Friday night concert followed by an all day event on Saturday.
There will also be a series of smaller events, which involve local businesses, venues and the local people, and will take place in and around the town.
The first of the outdoor events is going to take place in Convent Fields in Lewes, England, on 19 and 20 July.
Vampire Weekend have been announced as headlining the Friday night show, with Mumford headlining the following full day event.
Also confirmed as being on the bill are The Vaccines, Mystery Jets, Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit and The Very Best Soundsystem, with more acts to be announced.
