The Mountain Goats live in San Francisco

Experience The Mountain Goats live on November 19th

The Mountain Goats, the project of singer-songwriter John Darnielle, will perform at Night Four: Six Long Songs in San Francisco, United States on November 19, 2026. The Mountain Goats are known for their prolific output and Darnielle’s distinctive lyrical style, often characterized by narrative storytelling, emotionally raw themes, and a foundation in indie folk, indie rock and lo-fi aesthetics. While early recordings were famously created on cassette tapes with minimal instrumentation, the band’s sound has evolved to incorporate fuller arrangements with traditional rock instrumentation.

Night Four: Six Long Songs is a recurring concert series curated by The Mountain Goats focusing on extended compositions. The concept originated from the band's desire to perform longer-form pieces that didn’t necessarily fit within a standard concert setlist. These performances typically feature six songs, each significantly longer than typical tracks from their discography – often exceeding ten minutes in length – and explore more expansive musical ideas. The series began in 2018 and has been held intermittently since then, becoming a dedicated event for fans interested in a deeper dive into the band's compositional process and a unique listening experience. Each iteration features different material and arrangements.
