Mumford & Sons broke big right around this time last year — fueled, in part, by a memorable performance at last summer’s Telluride Bluegrass Festival, the British folksters captivated audiences around the world with accessible pop-folk and their debut record, “Sigh No More,” went platinum. They’re in Denver next week for two sold-out nights at the Fillmore, then they’ll head southwest to help close out Telluride on Sunday night. Wednesday and Thursday are sold out, but try your luck outside the venue. Local folkster and Marcus Mumford pal Nathaniel Rateliff will open both nights.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. makes toe-tapping electro-pop that has absolutely nothing to do with NASCAR — except the jumpsuits band members wear on stage, which are pretty boss. They were a crowd favorite at this year’s South by Southwest festival and Saturday’s show at the Hi-Dive, presented by Reverb, will likely sell out. Advance tickets, $10, are available through .
