Goose Announces First 2026 Headline Dates

Goose has announced their first headline dates for 2026, beginning April 10 at Asheville, North Carolina’s ExploreAsheville.com Arena and then continuing throughout the month until April 25 at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving, Texas.

Highlights of the tour leg include two-nights each at Fort Lauderdale War Memorial Auditorium (April 14-15), St. Augustine Amphitheatre (April 18-19) in Florida and the Saenger Theatre (April 21-22) in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The band – Rick Mitarotonda (vocals, guitar), Peter Anspach (vocals, keys, guitar), Trevor Weekz (bass) and Cotter Ellis (vocals, drums) – is making a return to the Moody Center (April 24) in Austin, Texas, after their sold-out 2024 New Year’s Eve shows at the venue. A festival appearance is part of the run with Goose at Florida Groves Music & Arts Festival (April 12) in Orlando, Florida.

Goose wraps an impressive year with the 12^thannual Goosemas holiday celebration, set for December 12-13 at Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island. The celebration follows a year highlighted by the band’s sold-out headline debut at Madison Square Garden, top-billed festival appearances including Newport Folk Festival and their first-ever destination festival, Viva El Gonzo, a three-day event presented this spring in San José del Cabo, Mexico.

The band returns to San José del Cabo in 2026 for the second edition of Viva El Gonzo taking place May 7-9, presented once again by 100x Hospitality.
