Today, January 9th, 2026, Father John Misty’s “The Old Law” is a new single available on all digital streaming services worldwide from Sub Pop. The song was produced by Drew Erickson and Josh Tillman, mixed by Michael Harris and Jonathan Wilson at Fivestar Studios in Los Angeles, and mastered by Adam Amyan at Ayan Mastering. “The Old Law” is previously known to Father John Misty fans as “God’s Trash” and debuted as part of the live set in the fall of 2024.

A little over a year later, “The Old Law” single follows the release of Mahashmashana, Father John Misty’s sixth long player in twelve years, released in November 2024.

The Western US leg of Father John Misty’s previously announced international headlining and festival tour dates in support of Mahashmashama kick off Monday, March 23rd in Ventura, CA at the Majestic Ventura Theater and run through Sunday, May 17th in Pomona, CA at The Fox Theater. 

Along this run, Father John Misty has scheduled two-night stands at the historic The Castro Theatre in San Francisco (March 24th+25th), and at The Paramount Theatre in Seattle (Apr. 3rd +4th). He will also headline at Boise’s Treefort Festival (Mar. 29th).

Father John Misty’s UK & EU run will start on Monday, June 1st in Lisbon, PT at Sagres Campo Pequeno and end on Sunday, June 14th in Wicklow, IE with a headlining set at Beyond The Pale Festival. Highlights for this run include appearances at Primavera Festival in Barcelona, ES (Jun. 4th), and Northside Festival in Aarhus, DK (Jun. 6th) and Father John Misty’s first headlining shows in Portugal in eight years.

Variety says of his July 2025 headlining performance at The Greek Theatre, “He’s one of contemporary music’s greatest lyricists and one of our loveliest melodists (a good combo, when you can find it, by the way), so there’s usually some kind of euphoric effect even in distemper or dystopia. His wish is our command when it comes to actually enjoying stuff that sounds more challenging on paper, or even on vinyl, than it does in the flesh.”

Tickets for these shows are on sale now. Please visit Father John Misty’s official website for further ticketing info.
