Modest Mouse bring their fall tour to ACL Live at the Moody Theater in Austin on Thursday, Oct. 15, 2026. The 8:00 PM show, with Caroline Rose opening, comes just a few months after the release of the band’s new album, An Eraser and a Maze, and tickets start at $65.
About Modest Mouse
Isaac Brock formed Modest Mouse in 1992 in Issaquah, Washington, a suburb east of Seattle, and the band spent its first decade as a cult favorite on the indie circuit with records like The Lonesome Crowded West and The Moon & Antarctica. Everything changed in 2004 when “Float On,” from Good News for People Who Love Bad News, became a surprise radio hit and earned the band Grammy nominations.
Three years later, with former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr in the lineup, We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The band carried on after the 2022 death of founding drummer Jeremiah Green, and in June 2026 released An Eraser and a Maze, a record that pulls together threads from every era of the band’s long, unpredictable run.
Austin has been part of the Modest Mouse story for decades. In the band’s early years, its Texas audience was built in sweaty downtown clubs like Emo’s, the kind of rooms where a generation of indie fans found their favorite bands. Seeing them now in the polished, acoustically tuned Moody Theater is a reminder of how far the band has come.
This fall run is a short one, wrapping in late October in California, and Austin is one of the last stops. Get your tickets on StubHub before the show sells out.
Doors typically open an hour before showtime. Caroline Rose starts the night, so arrive early if you want to catch the opener, and plan for heavy downtown traffic on a Thursday evening.
