Mumford & Sons said, "Hyde Park for us: sacrificing hopes and dreams at the altar of Neil Young; being transported to another dimension by The National; supporting Arcade Fire (the best band in the world); playing alongside our mates The Vaccines; accidentally seeing Black Eyed Peas; wishing we were at Kylie. What a place. And this time we get to headline and pick a bill of sick artists to play with us. Alabama Shakes! Wolf Alice! Gentlewomen of the Road! We’re travelling all over at the moment, so having this massive gig to look forward to next Summer, right in the heart of our home city, is just awesome."

In 2015, following a successful series of Gentlemen of the Road Stopovers (including Aviemore in the Scottish Highlands), Mumford & Sons headlined two spectacular shows at the Reading & Leeds Festivals, and an intimate performance at London’s Roundhouse for the Apple Music Festival. They conclude the year on a sold-out arena tour of the UK, their first on home turf since 2012.

James King, Senior Vice President, AEG Live commented, "Mumford & Sons always deliver amazing shows for their fans. We’ve tried for many years to get them to come to and headline Hyde Park and so this feels very special for us to have them in 2016. The event will feature incredible Artists across all 5 stages and the guys are bringing their full site wide production to deliver what will be a one off summer spectacular. The band have helped deliver an unbelievable support bill featuring some of the very best artists including Alabama Shakes and Wolf Alice, who will all make this an unforgettable day out for their fans."
