THREE BANDS TOURING TOGETHER IN VINTAGE RAILCARS
Mumford & Sons |
This April, Mumford & Sons, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic
Zeros, and Old Crow
Medicine Show will embark on a tour unlike any in recent memory. Traveling exclusively in vintage
railcars, the three bands will journey across the American Southwest over the course of a week. The aptly titled
"Railroad Revival Tour" will feature the three bands playing concerts at six unique outdoor locations along the route,
beginning April 21 in Oakland, California.
The Railroad Revival train is 1,500 feet long and consists of 15 vintage railcars from the 1950s and 60s, pulled by
two locomotives. The bands will eat, sleep, and record on the train as they travel across the American Southwest,
bringing their collaborative vision to fans from California to New Orleans. The bands will have equal billing and
equal time on stage, in an environment that encourages creativity and cross-pollination. The entire tour will be the
focus of a documentary that captures the spirit of the journey and gives intimate insights into the creative
process.
Tickets to The Railroad Revival Tour go on sale Wednesday, March 9 at 9 am PST (10 am MST, 11 am CST, 12 pm
EST). Tickets are available exclusively through http://railroadrevivaltour.com. Each ticket will include an MP3 download
of live recordings from the tour as well as a commemorative ticket custom-designed for each site, with no additional
service fees.
