The Mountain Goats Announce Tour Following Folk-Punk Epic Album Release

The Mountain Goats (John Darnielle, Matt Douglas, Jon Wurster) have announced a European and UK tour for October 2026, with Craig Finn (The Hold Steady) opening most dates. This follows the release of their anticipated 23rd full-length album, Through This Fire Across From Peter Balkan, a full-on musical that stands as the most conceptually detailed project in the band’s ever-expanding catalog.
