Mumford & Sons brought their Prizefighter Tour to Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado, on June 6, with support from Sierra Ferrell and Dylan Gossett. It was one of those Colorado nights where the setting did a lot of the talking before the headliner even took the stage: the Flatirons just beyond the stadium, a summer crowd slowly filling in, and a venue with more than a little history under its belt.
Marcus Mumford understood that history. Early in the band’s set, he referred to Folsom Field as “hallowed ground,” and the comment landed. This is a place that has hosted the Grateful Dead, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Dead & Company, and plenty more. For Boulder music fans, Folsom is not just a football stadium that occasionally becomes a concert venue. It carries weight, and Mumford made it clear the band knew where they were.
The stadium looked roughly 75 to 85 percent full, with much of the floor arranged with seats instead of being entirely general admission. A GA pit stretched across the front portion of the field, giving the stage a close-in energy while the rest of the stadium opened up behind it. From higher in the stands, the setup was striking: a big, seated field, a packed lower bowl, the mountains in the distance, and a stage that looked built for scale.
Dylan Gossett opened the evening with a short but focused set from 6:30 to 7 p.m. The Austin, Texas singer-songwriter has moved fast over the last few years, with “Coal” becoming his breakout song and a calling card for his direct, self-written country and Americana style. At Folsom, he seemed genuinely aware of the moment, telling the crowd how surreal it felt to be playing there and noting that, if not for Mumford & Sons, he might not be playing music at all.
Gossett’s known set included “Honeysuckle,” “Beneath Oak Trees,” “Coal,” and “Somewhere Between,” along with a couple of other songs. “Coal” was the obvious recognition point, but the newer “Honeysuckle” also fit naturally into the set, showing the more reflective side of a young artist still growing into bigger stages. For an early opener in a stadium setting, he held his own and gave the night a solid starting point.
Sierra Ferrell followed with the kind of set that reminded everyone why she has become such a magnetic live performer. This marked her second appearance at Folsom Field, after a brief one-song guest spot with Tyler Childers in 2024, but this time she had the full band with her. The addition of banjo gave the music another layer, sitting naturally beside the fiddle, upright feel, country swing, and old-time spirit that run through her sound.
Ferrell played several favorites, including “Jeremiah,” “Dollar Bill Bar,” “In Dreams,” and a closing “Fox Hunt.” Her voice remains the centerpiece, but the full-band arrangements gave the set a bright, rolling feel that fit the early evening light. She also spoke more than once about unity, loving one another, being good to each other, and helping people through hard times. Without turning the set into a speech, she made the message clear: people need to come together, not pull further apart…
