The Mountain Goats at Walt Disney Concert Hall

Thirty-five years into a career built on short stories set to guitar, The Mountain Goats are bringing their songbook to one of the most striking rooms in the city. The band plays Walt Disney Concert Hall on Tuesday, November 24, 2026, as part of the KCRW Series, billed as "an evening with" the group. For anyone tracking concerts in Los Angeles this fall, it is a rare chance to hear a literate, lyric-first band in a hall designed for listening.

When: Tuesday, November 24, 2026, 8 PM Where: Walt Disney Concert Hall, 111 S Grand Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90012 Presented by: LA Phil, KCRW Series Tickets: Through the official LA Phil event page; pricing is not listed in our source

What to expect

The Mountain Goats have spent more than three decades turning small, specific stories into anthems that fans sing back word for word. The LA Phil describes the band as adored indie-folk, with poignant, poetic, story-driven songs, and the 35th anniversary framing suggests a set that reaches across a long catalog rather than a single album cycle.

An evening-with format usually means the band carries the whole night, so expect a long set rather than an opening act and a short headline slot. The poster for the show promises exactly that. We have not seen a published set list or opener, so treat anything beyond the date, time and venue as unconfirmed until the venue says otherwise.

The room

Walt Disney Concert Hall is known for its steel curves outside and its wraparound, wood-paneled auditorium inside, where the audience sits close to the stage on all sides. That layout flatters a band whose songs depend on every word being heard. If you like your LA concerts quiet enough to catch the lyrics, this is the kind of venue that rewards it.

Getting there

The hall sits on Grand Avenue in downtown, a short walk from the Civic Center and Grand Park. Metro's B and D lines stop at Civic Center/Grand Park and Pershing Square is a bit farther, so transit is a sensible choice on a weeknight. Parking is available in the hall's own garage, though it can fill and cost more on show nights, so arrive early or book ahead.

Since the show is on a Tuesday evening, plan dinner nearby before the 8 PM start. Plenty of restaurants along Grand Avenue and in the surrounding blocks make it easy to turn the night into one of the better things to do in Los Angeles that week.
