Goose has announced plans for its 13th annual GOOSEMAS holiday celebration, set for December 11-12 at Atlantic City, New Jersey’s historic Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall.
Presale sign-ups are now available at goosetheband.com/tour. Fans who sign up will receive a unique code granting access to the official Goose presale beginning Wednesday, July 22, at 10 a.m. local time.
VIP and travel packages, facilitated by 100x Hospitality, will be available beginning Tuesday, July 21, at 10 a.m. local time. Local presales begin Wednesday, July 22, at noon local time. All presales end Thursday, July 23, at 10 p.m. local time.
The general on-sale begins Friday, July 24, at 10 a.m. local time.
One dollar from every ticket sold for GOOSEMAS 2026 will benefit Western Sun Foundation, a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) supporting grassroots nonprofit organizations in the cities the band visits.
Goose has spent much of the past few months celebrating the arrival of its acclaimed new album, BIG MODERN!, on the band’s annual summer headline tour. The run included a major weekend in New York City featuring two nights at Madison Square Garden and a sold-out surprise show at SummerStage in Central Park.
Tour dates resume August 13 at San Diego’s Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre. Highlights include a one-night-only show at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre on August 14, a two-night stand at Bend, Oregon’s Hayden Homes Amphitheater on August 21-22 and a sold-out three-show run at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on August 27-28 and September 1.
Select dates will feature special guests including Greensky Bluegrass from August 19-21, Buffalo Traffic Jam on August 22 and Theoretical Blonde on August 29.
This fall, Goose will head back out on the road for an additional headline run beginning November 3 at The Midland Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri, and continuing throughout the month.
Highlights include a three-night stand at Milwaukee’s Miller High Life Theatre from November 6-8, along with two-night runs at The Midland Theatre in Kansas City on November 3-4, The Truth in Nashville on November 10-11, Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, on November 13-14 and Citizens Live at The Wylie in Pittsburgh on November 19-20.
As with GOOSEMAS 2026, one dollar from every ticket sold on Goose’s 2026 summer and fall tours will benefit Western Sun Foundation.
Goose, which visited San José del Cabo, Mexico, earlier this year for the second edition of its Viva El Gonzo destination festival, will head south of the border again in early 2027 for two top-billed sets at Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds: 10 Years on the Beach, set for January 20-23 at Moon Palace in Riviera Maya, Mexico.
Goose’s immersive, genre-bending sixth studio album, BIG MODERN!, is available now via No Coincidence Records.
The album marks the band’s third full-length studio release in just over a year, completing a trio of records with a throughline charting Goose’s musical and personal evolution.
Unlike the previous two albums, which included tracks spanning Goose’s career, the world of BIG MODERN! is rooted firmly in the moment. Born from the band’s newfound creative and collaborative freedom, the 15-track record opens a new, future-facing era while showcasing the group’s musical versatility and range.
BIG MODERN! moves through heartland rock piano ballads, orchestral jazz interludes and 1980s-influenced, high-octane synth-rock. Built on Goose’s improvisational prowess, the album combines high-energy pop grooves and searing guitar riffs with haunting distortion and choral harmonies.
The album includes the top 10 AAA single “Good2B,” “Torero” and the propulsive apocalypse anthem “Good Times // End Times,” accompanied by an official music video directed by longtime visual collaborator Will Thresher.
Expansive live renditions of several BIG MODERN! tracks and other fan favorites captured during Goose’s summer tour are also streaming on YouTube, including a Madison Square Garden sequence of “Good Times // End Times” into “(((postplace)))” into “Big Modern!”
