Friday’s “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” features a very special, very high-profile musical act.

Mumford & Sons takes the stage for a performance.

The band, which is making its inaugural “Ellen” performance, performs “I Will Wait” on the broadcast.

In a teaser for the episode, the official “Ellen” website referred to the performance as a nice early birthday present for Ellen, who considers Mumford & Sons one of her favorite bands.

Friday’s “Ellen” also features Dax Shepard and Nicole Richie.
