Hozier BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
The past few days have marked a particularly high-profile chapter for Hozier as his name has been everywhere in the music world. The biggest headline comes from a landmark collaboration—Mumford and Sons and Hozier just dropped their new single Rubber Band Man. Spin and iHeartRadio both highlight how this track is the folk-soul collision fans did not know they needed, bringing Marcus Mumford and Hozier together vocally in an emotional blend produced at Aaron Dessner’s Long Pond Studios. Their partnership has been years in the making, tracing back to festival performances as far back as 2017, but this marks their first official studio release. Not only is Hozier front-and-center on Rubber Band Man, but American Songwriter reports that the collab is just a taste of things to come—he will also be a featured guest on Mumford and Sons’ upcoming 2026 album Prizefighter, alongside Chris Stapleton and Gracie Abrams. The band’s October 29 social post was effusive about Prizefighter being their best work to date and expressed their excitement to finally reveal these star-powered collaborations to the public.
Meanwhile, music festival announcements continue to keep Hozier’s name trending. Melodic Mag, American Songwriter, and AOL all note that Hozier is headlining the inaugural Zootown Festival in Missoula on July 4-5, 2025, sharing top billing with Kacey Musgraves and Jason Isbell—a big get for a first-year event. In a similar vein, KLBJFM confirms Hozier as the headline act on September 28 for the Soundside Music Festival in Connecticut, where he will close out the weekend in a single-stage format, giving fans an uninterrupted showcase.
On the business activities front, there is no evidence in the news cycle of new business ventures or product launches for Hozier, and SeatGeek confirms that while no New York concerts are currently set, Hozier’s touring schedule remains robust in other US cities. As for social media mentions, the surge is clearly tied to excitement around the single with Mumford and Sons—both their official accounts and fan accounts have traded clips, lyrics, and behind-the-scenes photos from the recording at Long Pond, making Rubber Band Man trending across X and Instagram throughout late October.
There are no credible reports of major controversies, personal news, or rumors floating in the mainstream press as of now. Everything in the current media ecosystem underscores that Hozier’s career is continuing to ascend, with high-visibility festival billings and headline-making collaborations that could very well define his 2025-2026 in the public eye.
