Die Indie-Folker von Mumford & Sons melden sich mit einer Tour-Doku namens "Big Easy Express" zurück. Das abenteuerliche Material stammt von der 2011er Railroad Revival-Tour der Briten. Gemeinsam mit den Genre-Kollegen Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros und Old Crow Medicine Show fuhren sie durch die Vereinigten Staaten.
