British rock/folk group Mumford & Sons have confirmed they are to take a break from music.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, the band announced they intend to take a long break now their current Babel tour has finished.

Earlier in the week, Mumford & Sons keyboardist Ben Lovett told the publication “There won’t be any Mumford & Sons activities for the foreseeable future following Friday’s show.”. When questioned on how long they are intending to take a break for, Lovett replied “we have no idea. We just know we’re going to take a considerable amount of time off and just go back to hanging out and having no commitments or pressure or anything like that. It feels like the last week of school right now, before school holiday when you’re in high school. The atmosphere on the road is one of . . . I think everyone’s excited about being free of schedules.”

The band recently wowed crowds (aside from their Babel tour), during their headline spot at this year’s Glastonbury Festival, closing the large-scale event on the final day.
