New Jersey mathcore veterans The Number Twelve Looks Like You have announced a special fall headlining tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of their landmark album “Mongrel.”
The trek will see the band perform the album in its entirety each night, marking the first time they have ever played the record front-to-back in a live setting. Support throughout the run will come from Kaonashi, Blind Equation, and Differences on select dates.
In announcing the tour on social media, the band reflected on the significance of revisiting the album two decades after its release.
“Did anyone have this on their 2026 bingo card? For the first time ever, we’re performing MONGREL in its entirety. And yes… somehow, in all the years since this record came out, we’ve never actually done that. We’ve played plenty of these tunes over the years, but never ALL of them in ONE night.”
“A few songs on this tour have never been performed live. Ever. The last time we played some of these was in the studio while we were recording the album. Twenty years later… here we are, finally letting MONGREL out into the world. From ‘Imagine Nation Express’ all the way to ‘The Try.’ Strap in yall.”
“Joining us on this heroic quest are three of the best bands in the game: Kaonashi, Differences, and Blind Equation. Thank you all for riding with us.”
“We also wouldn’t have this record without the people who helped shape it into what it became.. so much love to our boys Justin, Jamie, Jon, Chris and Casey. Thank you.”
“This is the ONLY tour we’re doing in 2026 and it’s our first headlining tour in 7 years. Let’s finally give MONGREL the night it’s been waiting for <3”
In addition to the tour announcement, Equal Vision Records will release a remastered vinyl pressing of “Mongrel” on October 16, 2026.
