The lead singer of Mumford & Sons was spotted moshing at The Maccabees' farewell concert last Friday, June 30. The British-American musician, who will be headlining the Sunday set at Longitude this summer, was caught on camera cheering the band on during the encore.

“Just because of the fact that it’s the end, it’s alleviated any of the previous tension that used to be around us and around gigs, because we always used to be trying to move somewhere or get better," said guitarist Felix White. "These have just been a ‘let’s just celebrate how great we are’, letting us think that. It’s been an amazing thing, it’s very emotional.”
The Maccabees played their final show July 1 at London's Alexandra Palace. The band signed off with a tweet, saying, "We will never forget it."
