Recently, Rolling Stone caught Father John Misty's surprise 2026 Newport Folk Fest performance, and offered this: 'Given his addition as a last-minute substitution for Tedeschi Trucks Band following their health-related cancellation, it came as some surprise (and a thrilling one at that) that Father John Misty chose this relatively high-profile setting to test out a notable chunk of new, unreleased material. T here were songs about doomsday-prepper dystopia, songs about fathers who may in fact be secret CIA spies (that one's called 'Josh Tillman, His Father, and the Scottsdale Experience'), and politically charged songs portraying right-wing xenophobia (sample lyric: 'We need walls that never end/An ocean sideways between us and them'). He was accompanied for some of the set by David Rawlings, best known as Gillian Welch's longtime sideman; mostly, though, the bearded California satirist switched between piano and guitar during his entirely acoustic, stripped-down set. It was a bold bet that paid off thanks to the new songs themselves.'

Father John Misty's Mahashmashana is also available CD/LP/DSPs in North America from Father John Misty's official merch stores in the US and EU , megamart.subpop.com , Bella Union (UK/EU), and independent retailers worldwide .

Tickets available at Boulder Theater Box Office, by phone at (303)-786-7030 or online at bouldertheater.com .
