ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — Watch out, St. Augustine. Music is about to take over.
Just announced Monday morning the Sing Out Loud Festival this year will bring Mumford and Sons, The Black Keys, Lord Huron, and Maggie Rogers. They will perform on Francis Field, the first time the music festival will use the field for a two-day showcase.
It’s likely to be the biggest Sing Out Loud has ever been, with 25,000 tickets to be sold for the Mumford and Sons concert alone.
Ten years ago, in 2013, Mumford and Sons took St. Augustine by storm, filling Francis Field during its Gentlemen of the Road tour. For the tour, St. Augustine was one of only three stops in the United States. The international rock band is putting a feather in St. Augustine’s cap yet again, by choosing to return to the small town that is making a name for itself in the music industry.
Music venues and musicians will still pepper the city throughout the month of September during the Sing Out Loud Festival, with the Black Keys headlining on Friday, Sept. 22, and Mumford and Sons headlining Saturday, Sept. 23.
Tickets for the Francis Field Showcase go on sale to the general public Friday, May 12 at 10 a.m. exclusively online via singoutloudfestival.com.
With Sing Out Loud being a celebration of community, an exclusive, early-access “Local Presale” will be available to St. Johns County residents from Friday, May 5 at 10:00 a.m. – Sunday, May 7 at 10 p.m. St. Johns County residents can access this presale through the ZIP code associated with their billing address at checkout. In Sing Out Loud Festival tradition, a portion of proceeds will benefit multiple local charitable initiatives.
