Goose have announced the second iteration of their annual destination festival, Viva El Gonzo, produced by 100x Hospitality and set for May 7-9, 2026 in San José del Cabo, Mexico. A three-day music and arts festival held in a sacred tropical oasis on the southern tip of the Baja California desert, Viva El Gonzo will see Goose playing all three nights, joined by an all-star assembly of special guests for an immersive musical experience like no other. A complete lineup will be announced soon. GA Festival Tickets, TED and Super TED VIP, and travel packages will be available to Viva El Gonzo alumni beginning Monday, June 30 at 1pm ET. General on-sale starts Tuesday, July 1 at 1pm ET. Payment plans are available with 5% down payment. For complete details and ticket information, please see www.vivaelgonzo.com.
This spring’s inaugural edition of Viva El Gonzo proved an unforgettable milestone in what is fast shaping up as Goose’s most momentous year thus far. The three-day event saw a vibrant array of powerhouse performances from Goose and their star-studded lineup of guests, all set on the Baja California coastline against the breathtaking backdrop of the Sea of Cortés. Goose showcased their awe-inspiring range and creative imagination over the course of seven completely unique sets, with countless highlights including surprising covers, expansive jams on beloved fan favorites, the debut of exhilarating new originals, and live renditions of every song from their acclaimed new album, Everything Must Go. All told, Viva El Gonzo represented a titanic moment for Goose, exceeding all expectations with its genre-blurring performances, groundbreaking approach towards programming, and inspired variety of once-in-a-lifetime experiences, setting an extraordinary bar for future iterations going forward.
Goose is currently traveling on the biggest live run of their career, the recently launched “Everything Must Go Tour.” This week will see the band’s first-ever headline show at New York City’s world-famous Madison Square Garden (June 28) as well as a very special homecoming return to New Haven, CT’s Westville Music Bowl (June 29). Further highlights include two-night stands at Louisville, KY’s historic The Louisville Palace (September 23-24) and Richmond, VA’s Allianz Amphitheater at Riverfront (October 2-3), as well as a one-night-only show as special guest to Dave Matthews Band set for Sunday, August 31 at George, WA’s The Gorge Amphitheatre.

Having recently performed at both Columbia, MD’s All Good Now, Highmount, NY’s Mountain Jam, and, most recently, a sold-out surprise club show at Racket NYC hosted by legendary local New York radio station WFUV, upcoming months will also see Goose making an array of top-billed festival appearances, including Newport, RI’s Newport Folk Festival (July 25), Park City, UT’s Park City Song Summit (August 14-16), Fredericton, NB’s Harvest Music Festival (September 12), Las Vegas, NV’s RISE (October 5), and Live Oak, FL’s Suwanee Hulaween (October 30-November 2).
The ”Everything Must Go Tour” celebrates the recent arrival of Goose’s new album, Everything Must Go, available everywhere now via No Coincidence Records. Goose’s fourth studio LP and first new studio collection in nearly three years following 2022’s critically acclaimed Dripfield, the album marks both a statement of intent for Goose as well as an arrival of sorts — a journey for fans and newcomers alike through the group’s past, present, and infinite future. The album was met with a great deal of excitement from the media upon release, with features appearing in the New York Times and Vulture and others, as well as a performance on CBS Saturday Morning alongside an interview with Anthony Mason.
Hailed by PopMatters as “superb…one of the best studio albums by a jam band to date,” the album includes such extraordinary new tracks as the propulsive fan favorite, “Thatch,” the searching “Lead Up,” the breezy, atmospheric “Your Direction,” and euphoric first single, “Give It Time,” the latter two accompanied by official music videos streaming now on YouTube. In addition, the LP’s deeply moving title track is joined by a visually arresting official music video directed and designed by award-winning animator Chris Hopewell (known for his distinctive work with Radiohead, The Killers, Run The Jewels, Father John Misty, and many more).
