Celebrated country artist Lainey Wilson recently surprised fans by making a special appearance with British folk band Mumford & Sons during their performance in New Orleans.

The performance took place on Sunday, August 3, as part of Mumford & Sons’ Railroad Revival Tour in support of their latest album, Rushmere. The tour has taken the band to various cities across North America, with upcoming stops scheduled in Philadelphia, Buffalo, Nashville, Austin, and Chicago.
Wilson, known for her soulful vocals and authentic storytelling, brought her own flair to the stage as she harmonized with the band on the folk-inspired cover of Twain’s 1997 hit. The audience was captivated as Marcus Mumford joined Wilson, adding his own touch by playing the tambourine and sharing vocals for the song’s energetic finale.
Fans and concert-goers alike were thrilled by the unexpected collaboration, taking to social media to express their excitement and appreciation for the performance. One fan commented, “Just what I needed on a gloomy Monday morning!” while another noted, “This was not on my bingo card but I’m here for it.”
Following the performance, Wilson took to Instagram to share her gratitude for the experience, writing, “Made music and friends for a lifetime with all of these folks in New Orleans yesterday.” She also posted behind-the-scenes snapshots from rehearsals and interactions with fellow musicians, including singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers.
Mumford & Sons reciprocated the love by sharing a clip of them performing Wilson’s track “4x4xU” on TikTok, further showcasing the camaraderie and creative energy between the artists on tour.
The ongoing Railroad Revival Tour has been a significant platform for Mumford & Sons to showcase their musical evolution and creativity.
