The Prizefighter Tour Arrives at Acrisure Amphitheater in Grand Rapids
Mumford & Sons will perform at Acrisure Amphitheater in Grand Rapids, Michigan on September 22, 2026, bringing the Prizefighter Tour to West Michigan as the North American run enters its final stretch. The late-September date places the show during one of the most beautiful seasons in the Great Lakes region, when early autumn colors begin to appear and the summer heat has mellowed into comfortable evening temperatures. Grand Rapids, a city that has reinvented itself as a hub for craft beer, art, and food, provides a fitting backdrop for one of the tour's closing nights.
Acrisure Amphitheater, located along the Grand River in downtown Grand Rapids, holds approximately 12,000 between its covered pavilion and open lawn section. The riverside setting gives the venue a distinctive character, and its downtown location means restaurants, bars, and hotels are all within walking distance. For a band like Mumford & Sons, whose music carries the emotional weight of folk storytelling and the power of arena rock, the amphitheater format strikes an ideal balance between intimacy and scale.
Grand Rapids: Beer City, Art City, Music City
Grand Rapids has earned national recognition as "Beer City USA" in multiple polls, and the craft brewery scene here is among the most concentrated and acclaimed in the country. Founders Brewing Company, whose taproom is a short drive from the amphitheater, is one of the most celebrated craft breweries in America. Dozens of other breweries, from Brewery Vivant to Perrin Brewing to City Built Brewing, dot the downtown and surrounding neighborhoods.
The city's cultural scene extends well beyond beer. ArtPrize, the massive international art competition that transforms downtown Grand Rapids every autumn, has made the city a destination for art lovers. The Grand Rapids Art Museum, Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, and a vibrant mural scene throughout the downtown core add visual richness to the urban landscape. The dining scene has grown in tandem, with farm-to-table restaurants, diverse international cuisine, and a food truck culture that keeps things lively.
About Acrisure Amphitheater
The amphitheater sits at 400 Monroe Avenue NW in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids, along the banks of the Grand River. The covered pavilion section offers approximately 4,500 reserved seats with protection from the elements, while the lawn section accommodates around 7,500 general admission attendees on a grassy slope. The venue's downtown location is a significant advantage — unlike suburban amphitheaters that require extensive driving and parking logistics, Acrisure is accessible on foot from many downtown hotels, restaurants, and parking structures.
The Prizefighter Album
At the center of the tour is Prizefighter, Mumford & Sons' sixth album, produced with Aaron Dessner of The National. The record represents the band's most sonically adventurous work, blending their folk-rock roots with atmospheric, layered production. Collaborations with Hozier, Chris Stapleton, Gracie Abrams, Justin Vernon, and Gigi Perez bring additional vocal and stylistic diversity. By the September 22 show, the band will have performed dozens of dates on the tour, and the late-run shows often carry a loose, confident energy as the band leans into improvisational moments and extended arrangements.
