Mumford & Sons to headline Churchill Park fest July 17

Mumford & Sons will headline the Churchill Park Music Festival in St. John’s on Saturday, July 17, 2027, organizers announced Monday.

General ticket sales begin Friday, Nov. 13, at 10 a.m. local time (NDT), NTV News reported. Tickets will be sold online through the festival’s website, ChurchillParkMusicFestival.com.

Fans who want early access can join the festival’s Insiders Club for pre-sale access and updates on the same site, NTV said. The report did not say when the pre-sale starts or what tickets will cost.

VOCM reported that supporting acts for the July 17 show are expected to be announced at a later date. No other performers have been named so far.

The announcement was among the most searched Canadian topics on Google Trends on Monday morning, alongside the Strathcona Resources takeover of Greenfire Resources.

The band formed in London in 2008 and has won Grammy and BRIT awards. VOCM said it is best known for its 2012 hit I Will Wait, a song title the outlet played on in its headline about the booking.

Mumford & Sons released its sixth studio album, Prizefighter, in 2026. NTV reported the record was co-written and co-produced with Aaron Dessner of The National at his Long Pond Studio. VOCM said it includes collaborations with Hozier, Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton and Gigi Perez.

NTV said Prizefighter arrived less than a year after the band’s fifth album, Rushmere, giving the group two U.K. number one albums in under 12 months. The outlet also noted the band has worked with artists including Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Pharrell, Maggie Rogers and Brandi Carlile.

Neither outlet’s report named the exact stage or gate location in the park, and neither gave a capacity figure. Anyone planning to attend should check the festival’s website for those details, ticket prices and any changes to the on-sale time.

The booking is one of several large live-music announcements Canadian fans have seen in recent weeks. Our earlier coverage includes Garth Brooks adding a third Hamilton show, the Backstreet Boys adding a 12th Rogers Centre date for 2027 and Nickelback’s seven Canadian arena dates.

Readers in the St. John’s area can also follow our local reporting on the Columbus Drive lane closure that runs to Nov. 13, the same day tickets go on sale.

The festival date, on-sale time and pre-sale details are as reported by NTV and VOCM and may be updated by organizers.
