Mumford and Sons to Open Newtown Pop-Up Bar

You've probably got a whole bunch of beard jokes, banjo bashing and eye-rolling up your sleeve already. But put your four-part harmony rant aside for a second, there's special edition Young Henrys beer afoot.

London's folk-pop foursome Mumford and Sons are releasing their brand new album Wilder Mind on May 4, and to launch the whole stadium-ready thing they'll be opening a pop-up bar inside Newtown Hotel for two weeks from Monday 27 April to Sunday 10 May.

This isn't the first time Mumford and Sons have had a Sydney pop-up bar, their 2012 album Babel saw a pop-up whisky bar on Oxford Street with film screenings and tastings aplenty. This time around, the Newtown Hotel pop-up will trade whisky for Young Henrys' special edition Wilder Mind ale, with DJ sets, live music and mural painting locked in for the duration of the activation. Plus, you'll be able to hang around and listen to the new album if you're a Mumfordian.

While you're waiting, let's remember this straight-up chuckler of a video. Fine holiday fun.

The Mumford and Sons Wilder Mind pop-up will be at Newtown Hotel, 174 King St Newtown from Monday 27 April to Sunday 10 May.
