This comes after it was announced on Monday that UK rockers Mumford & Sons will be touring South Africa for three shows next year.

The band will be performing in Cape Town on 29 January 2016 at the Grand Parade, in Durban on 3 February 2016 at the Durban Botanic Gardens and in Pretoria on 6 February at the Monument Amphitheatre.

Many fans took to Twitter to voice their disappointment or excitement, depending on whether they managed to secure a ticket.

So the @MumfordAndSons Cape Town concert sold out in 3 minutes and in spite of all of my refreshing I didn't get a ticket. ?? @HilltopLive

@HilltopLive @MumfordAndSons TOO stoked to have my DBN tickets! Bigger venues rather than more dates perhaps? #MumfordAndSonsSA
