The Mountain Goats announce Carnegie Hall show

The Mountain Goats have shows lined up throughout 2026, but they hadn’t announced one in NYC. That’s now changed: they’ll play Carnegie Hall on December 11. They’ll perform in “quartet formation” with “guests and friends” joining them onstage, and tickets go on sale Friday, March 6 at 11 AM ET, with a presale starting Wednesday March 4 at 11 AM ET.

The Mountain Goats also have a Woodstock show on May 16 at Bearsville Theater and a New Haven, CT show at College Street Music Hall on May 17. See all dates below.
