Mumford & Sons are heading back to New Zealand.
They were last here in 2012 for a banjo-heavy night of singalong acoustic folk jams.
But there might be a few less banjos in sight when Mumford & Sons perform at Vector Arena on November 10.
That's because the celebrated band's latest album, May's Wilder Mind, has barely a banjo
in sight.
Instead, the London quartet - fronted by Carey Mulligan's husband, Marcus Mumford - ditched the acoustic instruments and upright bass on their third album, and instead embraced more electric instrumental methods.
The changes seem to have gone down well with fans and critics: our reviewer said Mumford & Sons had "turned their electric guitar dial round to U2, and given a nod to Chris Martin and his emotive, anthemic tendencies".
