Next week, Mitski is set to return with the new album The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We, which features the singles “Bug Like An Angel,” “Star,” and “Heaven.” Ahead of the September 15 release date, Mitski had organized a series of private listening events in Chicago, Dallas, London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, Nashville, Sydney, and New York, though the singer herself was not scheduled to be in attendance. Still, on Thursday (September 7), Mitski showed up as a surprise at the Nashville listening party at the Belcourt Theatre, where she performed selections from The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We and her 2016 song “A Burning Hill.”

Watch some fan-shot footage from the evening below.
