Anticipate: The Railroad Revival Tour feat. Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros / Mumford & Sons / Old Crow Medicine Show

This April, will mark the inaugural Railroad Revival Tour with Mumford & Sons, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, and Old Crow Medicine Show embarking on a tour unlike any in recent memory. Traveling exclusively in vintage railcars, the three bands will journey across the American Southwest over the course of a week. The aptly titled Railroad Revival Tour will feature the three bands playing concerts at six unique outdoor locations along the route, beginning April 21st in Oakland, California.

This tour features 15 vintage railcars pulled by 2 modern locomotives. Our 1500-foot-long train will make six stops, in Oakland, San Pedro, Chandler, Marfa, Austin and New Orleans, where it will become an intimate part of a unique concert experience.

Today's mass transit is built for speed and volume, which suits our modern lifestyle. But sometimes the notion of landscape and discovery is left behind. The RRT is an effort to re-imagine that landscape, the experience of the journey, and to re-discover what happens in between destinations.
