The Mountain Goats live in New York

Experience The Mountain Goats live on December 10th

The Mountain Goats are scheduled to perform at Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage at Carnegie Hall in New York City on December 10, 2026. The band, led by John Darnielle, is known for its prolific output and distinctive indie folk, indie rock, and lo-fi aesthetic. Initially recording music primarily on cassette tapes using a boombox, their sound has evolved over a career spanning three decades to incorporate fuller instrumentation while retaining lyrical depth and narrative storytelling. Common themes in their work include isolation, faith, dysfunctional relationships, and American life.

Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage is the largest of three halls within Carnegie Hall, a renowned concert venue located at 881 Seventh Avenue in Manhattan. Originally opened in 1891 as the Music Hall, it was later renamed for businessman Julius Stern in 1919 following a substantial donation. The auditorium underwent a major renovation completed in 2003, improving acoustics and accessibility. It’s historically significant as a premier performance space for classical music but also hosts performances across various genres including popular music. The hall is known for its excellent acoustics and ornate Beaux-Arts architecture. It seats approximately 2,807 patrons.
