Following in the footsteps of Bruce Springsteen (who recently cancelled his North Carolina concert in protest of the state’s new Anti-LGBT law) Mumford and Sons have announced that they will be canceling this week’s concert at the Time Warner Arena in Charlotte.

“Cool,” said local rock fan Steve. “It sucks we aren’t getting Bruce, but if laws like this are going to prevent Mumford And Sons and other bands like them from coming to our state, then I support it! DMB is scheduled to come here in July so hopefully we can get some crazy abortion law passed by then that they’ll inevitably protest.”

“We’ve been receiving a lot of social media responses from people saying ‘thank you,” said Mumford’s Agent Anthony Tomlin. “People have said that they were being dragged to our shows by their spouses and now they are free to spend the night watching Game of Thrones. So now, we don’t have to play a show in a bigoted state, and Game of Thrones gets more viewers. Win win.”

No word yet from Marcus Mumford or his sons.
