Handsome Tours are proud to present The Mountain Goats!

Veteran indie-rock storytellers The Mountain Goats will make their long-awaited return to Australia and New Zealand in April 2026, with performances in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Auckland and Wellington. This eagerly-anticipated tour represents the band's first visit to Australia in 9 years (2017) and their first trip to New Zealand in 16 years (2010).

Fronted by prolific songwriter and novelist John Darnielle, The Mountain Goats are revered the world over for their sprawling catalogue of twenty-three studio albums released between 1994 and 2023. This tour announcement coincides with the band today unveiling album number twenty-four, 'Through This Fire Across From Peter Balkan' - to be released 7th November 2025 on Cadmean Dawn Records (the band’s own label).

Produced by the Mountain Goats’ multi-instrumentalist Matt Douglas, Through This Fire Across From Peter Balkan is a full-on musical that stands as the most conceptually detailed and musically elaborate project in the band’s ever-expanding catalogue. It features appearances from The Replacements’ Tommy Stinson, harpist Mikaela Davis, musical theatre royalty Lin-Manuel Miranda (Tony Award-winning ‘Hamilton’, Disney’s ‘Moana’ &amp; ‘Encanto’), and the band’s new bassist Cameron Ralston.

Don’t miss one of indie rock’s most enduring and beloved bands as they make their long-overdue return to our shores!
