A Reddit thread on r/lollapalooza claims Mumford & Sons are out of the festival lineup — and the replies are a mixed bag.
What happened
User u/kingbdun posted a screenshot titled “Mumford & Sons: OUT” on Feb. 20, 2026. The post itself is an unverified report, not an official announcement from the band or Lollapalooza organizers. Treat this as a rumor until either party confirms.
Fan reaction (highlights)
– Several users cheered: “Thank GOD” or “THANK GOD.”
– Some fans were bummed — one says they “fell to my knees in a Walmart.”
– A few people used the thread to speculate on other acts (Caamp is “also UNLIKELY” according to one comment).
– One user pointed out routing could still allow Mumford & Sons to appear on Thursday, July 30 before the band’s second U.S. tour leg — unlikely, but not impossible.
Why it matters
Mumford & Sons are a big-name draw and their removal would shift the dynamic for the festival’s fans and ticket-holders. If you were planning around seeing them, keep an eye on official channels — lineup changes happen, and festival organizers typically post updates if headliners drop.
Bottom line
This is rumor-level news from Reddit for now. We’ll update the Festival Wire when Lollapalooza or Mumford & Sons confirm anything official. In the meantime, expect plenty more chatter on social and Reddit as fans react and speculate.
