This weekend saw Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich join Mumford & Sons on stage at Austin City Limits Festival to perform ‘The Wolf’ with them. Check it out below.
Mumford were closing the Sunday night of the festival when they invited the rock legend to drum with them on the single from 2015’s acclaimed ‘Wilder Mind‘.
“You’ve been fucking wicked ACL, thank you so much,” frontman Marcus Mumford told the crowd before the track. “We’d like to invite a friend of ours from a little band called Metallica – Mr Lars Ulrich on the drums!”
Mumford & Sons are currently on the closing victory lap of their world tour in support of 2018 album ‘Delta‘. The band’s Ben Lovett has also announced that he’s to launch another new venue in London.
The keyboardist, who opened the Omeara venue in London Bridge back in 2016, will open the Lafayette venue next February.
