Mumford & Sons New Single 'The Wolf' Set for Thursday Release Date Ahead of 'SNL' Performance

Mumford & Sons announced that "The Wolf" will be its next Wilder Mind single on Twitter, setting a release date for this Thursday, April 9, at 7:20 p.m. GMT (3:20 p.m. EST).

The new single announcement comes ahead of Mumford & Sons planned performance this weekend on the April 11 episode of Saturday Night Live.

The release of "The Wolf" and Mumford & Sons' SNL gig comes ahead of the release of the band's third studio album Wilder Mind, which is due to be released on May 4. The new album will mark a sonic departure for Mumford & Sons as the band moves away from its folk roots and finally "plugs in."
