Mumford and Sons are set to release a live album as part of a new edition of debut 'Sigh No More'.

The band's shows at the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire in the spring will be available as a download record.

The live album, along with a DVD featuring three short films shot in India, America and Europe – with a link to the final part which is out in December – and a new song 'Hold On To What You Believe' will be sold as a physical "deluxe" version of the album through Mumfordandsons.com.

However, fans will be able to download the bonus content if they already have the album.
