Mumford & Sons in Concert at Star Lake; Joan Osborne in Arts Fest Closing Concert (Sun., 6/14/26)

June 12, 2026/Rick Handler

1) The Pavilion at Star Lake hosts British folk-rock group Mumford & Sons. They have enjoyed a surge of success in the United States over the years since forming in London in 2007. Their hilarious 2013 video for “Hopeless Wanderer” stormed the Internet. The video is a self-parody with comedians Jason Sudeikis, Ed Helms, Will Forte, and Jason Bateman playing the band members. The imposters perform, drink beer, and smash their instruments in a Californian ranch setting. But when it comes to creating and producing great music, the band puts aside all silliness, as evidenced by multiple Grammy nominations and wins. Mumford & Sons’ latest release is this year’s Prizefighter. The release reached no. 1 on the Billboard Top Rock & Alternative albums.Hozier, Chris Stapleton, Gracie Abrams and Gigi Perez were collaborators on the album. Look for Mumford & Sons to perform old faves and new songs here in Pittsburgh. Special guest is Dylan Gossett.. 7:30 p.m. 665 PA Rt. 18, Burgettstown (C.M., R.H.)

2) The 7-day Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival is one of Pittsburgh’s largest and grandest summer celebrations. The ever-popular Artist Market features handmade arts, crafts, and wearables on sale in over 350 artist booths. This year’s festival is being held in the recently opened Arts Landing civic space. Performing arts are headlined by several Mainstage Concerts with acts including Joan Osborne (Sunday, June 14, 7:30 p.m.). A varied lineup of Pittsburgh-based talent will perform as well. Last but not least, a juried visual arts exhibition is displayed at Space Gallery in the Cultural District. (M.V., R.H.)
