The Mountain Goats live in Lititz

Experience The Mountain Goats live on August 20th

The Mountain Goats are scheduled to perform at Mickey’s Black Box in Lititz, Pennsylvania on August 20, 2026. The band, led by John Darnielle, is known for its prolific output and emotionally resonant songwriting. Their music generally falls under the indie rock genre, though it has incorporated elements of folk, country, and punk throughout their career. Early recordings were famously created using a boombox and cassette recorder, resulting in a lo-fi aesthetic that gradually evolved with later albums towards more fully produced sounds while retaining lyrical depth.

Mickey’s Black Box is a live music venue located within the Wilbur Chocolate Factory complex in Lititz. Originally constructed as a packaging facility for the chocolate company in the 1930s, the space was later renovated into an intimate performance space accommodating approximately 250-300 attendees. It's recognized for its focus on showcasing diverse musical acts, particularly those within the Americana, roots rock, and indie music scenes. The venue's relatively small capacity contributes to a close connection between performers and audiences. It has become a popular stop for touring artists seeking a more personal setting than larger concert halls.
