Mumford & Sons were more confident ahead of their T In The Park headline slot last night (July 12) than they were before either their Glastonbury slot or their show at the Olympic Park, according to banjo played Winston Marshall.
This year is the band’s fourth time at T In The Park, and Marshall also spoke of the tremendous support they get from their Scottish fans.
“Every time we play T we’ve got this amazing contingent of fans from the Highlands - from the Isle of Lewis. Those guys always come down and they’ve always got a big flag, ‘cause we’ve done a few shows up there. And they always come out for us. Love the Scots.”
Apparently the band’s history of having a good time at the Scottish festival has left them always excited to return, having worked their way up through the stages and stage times over the last few years.
“The first time we played we were first on in the King Tut’s Tent, and we didn't think anyone would come. And it was a good couple of hundred people. Which obviously in a massive tent is nothing, but we were like, ‘Oh my God this is fucking great.’
“We’ve already done Glastonbury and the Queen Elizabeth Park in London this summer, but I’m a lot more confident about this than either of those two shows. ‘Casue we had such a good gig here last time we played. We were up against Eminem, and we were like, there’s no way anyone will come. But we had a fucking great time.”

Last weekend the band played to 60,000 people in London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park when they headlined Summer Stampede at the top of a lineup selected by the band themselves.
They even went so far as to tell the audience that they out-shone the Glastonbury audience they’d entertained a week before.
