Laura Marling and Mumford & Sons play 6 cities this December

Two of the UK’s biggest folk acts, Laura Marling and Mumford & Sons, are touring India this December. The artists will undertake a nation-wide tour and also collaborate with Indian musicians in a special project. The tour covers six cities in India (schedule below) and the bands play a mix of auditorium gigs as a fundraiser, crowded nightclubs and chilled-out outdoor venues.

This tour has been conceived and organized by the British Council in collaboration with Only Much Louder and is the second in a series called ‘Soundpad’, a platform designed to encourage the exchange of ideas, culture and musical influences between artists in the UK and India. It has also been supported by The YP Foundation.
