SAN BERNARDINO: Mumford and Sons to perform June 2

Mumford & Sons, Coachella 2011

Mumford & Sons are heading to the Inland Empire this summer.

The modern alt-folk band just announced its North American tour for the summer and San Bernardino is listed as one of the dates. The date is listed as June 2 at Glen Helen Regional Park.

Since most of the other shows are hitting local amphitheaters, I’m thinking this one will be at San Manuel Amphitheater, which is in Devore and located inside Glen Helen Regional Park. I’m working to confirm that, though. I think Mumford along the picnic tables would be delightful, though.

Michael Kiwanuka and Mystery Jets will open the show.

I’m excited to see the show head to our area. Last year the band played the Hollywood Bowl. Typically, San Manuel Amphitheater nets the big metal touring shows, some of the major country shows, the annual Art Laboe show and in some years Guerilla Union’s Rock the Bells and/or Cypress Hill Smokeout.

If you want tickets for the show, you may be able to score them early. The band is doing an “Invitation Onsale,” which started today, March 25th, exclusively at http://invitation.mumfordandsons.com.

If you register, you can purchse tickets early for the non-festival dates. The traditional on-sale will be Friday, April 5, for all dates.
