Mumford & Sons have shared a star-studded new video for ‘Here’, featuring Paul Dano, Shailene Woodley and Oscar Isaac – watch it below.
The track is lifted from the band’s sixth studio album ‘Prizefighter’, which was released earlier this year and went to Number One in the UK.
‘Here’, which features Chris Stapleton, opens ‘Prizefighter’ and was previously aired when the band returned to Saturday Night Live earlier this year, where they also performed ‘Rubber Band Man’.
Directed by Bradley J Calder, the video sees Dano, Woodley and Isaac join Marcus Mumford in auditions for a new role, while his bandmates Ben Lovett and Ted Dwane sit in judgement.

The new video arrives as Mumford & Sons prepare to headline BST Hyde Park in London tomorrow (July 4), marking their return to the festival 10 years after their last appearance there.
The band will be joined on the line-up by The War On Drugs, Holly Humberstone, Caamp, Divorce, Cliffords, Stella Lefty, Bec O’Malley, Heidi Curtis, Dermot Henry and Cassandra Coleman. Find any remaining tickets here.
Speaking to NME last year about the Hyde Park show, the band said: “Hyde Park is woven into our story, it’s where so many memories were made. Coming back a decade later, with all this new music, feels incredibly special. London is and will always be the band’s home. We can’t wait.”
The show comes after Mumford & Sons played a surprise gig at London’s Battersea Power Station in March to celebrate Apple’s 50th anniversary, while in February, the band also played a tiny, last-minute “unplugged” show in New York, where they performed without microphones and aired six songs from ‘Prizefighter’.
After BST, Mumford & Sons will play headline shows in Dublin on July 5, Rome on July 7 and Berlin’s on July 9, before returning to the US for the second leg of their tour at the end of the month. Find any remaining tickets here.
Announcing ‘Prizefighter’ last year, the band said: “We feel like we’re hitting our prime as a band, and we’re more excited than ever about what comes next. ‘Prizefighter’ is us going for it – serious and playful, sometimes bruised and always hopeful. We’re nowhere near done yet.”
Marcus Mumford also told NME that the band felt “all fired up” heading into their next chapter, adding that the new record found them in a renewed creative space.
