Fans at any upcoming Mumford & Sons shows will be treated to some of the band's new music, which is going to feature some electric instruments and effects this time around. The group debuted the first single, "Believe," from Wilder Mind -- out May 4 -- earlier this month.
"We felt that doing the same thing, or the same instrumentation again, just wasn't for us," Marcus Mumford said about the album. "We've got a broader taste in music than just that."
Fellow Outside Lands headliner, Kendrick Lamar, is fresh off the release of his third studio effort, To Pimp a Butterfly. The album, which features singles like "i" and "The Blacker the Berry," includes guest spots by Snoop Dogg, George Clinton and Rapsody. Critics gave the record mostly positive reviews.
