"Good Times // End Times" continues to expand Goose's ever-growing following with its multi-format radio success, one of the many highlights found on their immersive, genre-bending sixth studio album, BIG MODERN!, available everywhere now via No Coincidence Records. The ascent of “Good Times //End Times” marks the latest hit for Goose following the triumph earlier this summer of “Good2B,” the rapturous first single from BIG MODERN!, which reached the top 10 at AAA radio as the #2 biggest gainer behind only The Rolling Stones on that week’s chart. “Good2B,” in turn, followed the historic achievement last year of two songs, “Your Direction” and the top 10 smash “Give It Time,” which both charted simultaneously at AAA, making Goose the only band to ever achieve this distinction.

Along with their popularity, Goose’s groundbreaking crosspollination of genres has earned them widespread critical applause from such publications as Consequence, Relix, and Rolling Stone, the latter of which declared in a recent lead feature article, “On BIG MODERN! and its predecessors, Goose shows that they care about making good records…Onstage and on record, the Connecticut-based group blends precision, risk and pop-minded hooks in ways that have made them one of music’s fastest-rising acts.”
Goose recently wrapped their annual summer headline tour, this year featuring some of the most ambitious routing of their career thus far, reinforcing the band’s steady ascent into premier venues across the continent. Highlights included two unforgettable nights at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, an additional sold-out surprise show at SummerStage in Central Park, and a surprise seven-song set at a house party at the University of Colorado Boulder, ahead of five sold-out Colorado headline shows. The band then joined Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, and The War On Drugs on the opening-night bill at Louisville, KY’s Bourbon & Beyond.
Goose will soon head back out on the road for an additional headline tour, beginning November 3 at Kansas City, MO’s The Midland Theatre and continuing through the month. The late fall run includes a three-night stand at Milwaukee, WI’s Miller High Life Theatre (November 6-8), along with two-night stands at Kansas City, MO’s The Midland Theatre (November 3-4), Nashville, TN’s The Truth (November 10-11), Uncasville, CT’s Mohegan Sun Arena (November 13-14), and Pittsburgh, PA’s Citizens Live at The Wylie (November 19-20). In addition, Goose recently announced plans for its 13th annual GOOSEMAS holiday celebration, taking place December 11-12 at Atlantic City, NJ’s historic Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall.
Finally, the band will head south of the border once again in early 2027 for two top-billed sets at Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds: 10 Years on the Beach, set for January 20-23, 2027 at Riviera Maya, MX’s famed Moon Palace.
$1 from every ticket sold on all Goose headline shows will benefit Western Sun Foundation (WSF), a volunteer-run 501(c)3 supporting grassroots nonprofits in the cities the band visits. For complete details and ticket information, please visit www.goosetheband.com/tour.

ABOUT GOOSE:
Goose is an American rock band celebrated for its genre-defying sound, adventurous live performances, and fiercely loyal fan community. Comprised of Rick Mitarotonda (vocals, guitar), Peter Anspach (vocals, keys, guitar), Trevor Weekz (bass), and Cotter Ellis (drums), the band has grown from playing Connecticut basements to headlining some of the most iconic stages in the country. Blending infectious songwriting with fearless improvisation, Goose has built its audience organically through relentless touring, a DIY spirit, and a direct connection with fans via platforms like YouTube, Bandcamp, and nugs.net.
The band recently released its sixth studio album, BIG MODERN!, marking its third full-length studio LP in just over a year. Together with Everything Must Go and Chain Yer Dragon, the album completes a prolific creative run that traces both the band’s musical growth and personal evolution. Unlike its two predecessors, which drew from songs written across different eras of Goose’s career, BIG MODERN! is rooted entirely in the moment.
A dispatch from interesting times, BIG MODERN! captures the strange duality of modern life, simultaneously familiar and surreal. It is an ode to the overwhelming, high-definition experience of now: a world of constant connection, endless information, and reality streaming directly into our minds in real time.
BIG MODERN! Is a project born out of Goose’s newfound creative and collaborative freedom. The record opens up a new, future-facing era for the band, introducing 15 tracks that highlight the musical evolution of the four-piece, built on the back of their improvisational prowess. The album beckons listeners with high-energy pop grooves and searing guitar riffs. These highs are punctuated by their musical counterparts. BIG MODERN!’s genre-bending orchestration moves between haunting, driving distortion and gorgeous choral harmonies.
Everything Must Go and Chain Yer Dragon helped propel Goose to #2 on Billboard’s “Top New Artist Albums” chart. Singles “Give It Time” and “Your Direction” charted simultaneously at AAA radio, making Goose the only band to achieve that distinction during the campaign. Everything Must Go was met with widespread critical acclaim, earning features in The New York Times, Vulture, GQ, Billboard, SPIN, and more. Rolling Stone praised the band’s ability to balance studio craftsmanship with the spontaneity and energy that define its live shows.
Since recording its 2016 debut, Moon Cabin, in a New Hampshire barn, Goose has steadily refined a sound that merges thoughtful songwriting, virtuosic musicianship, and emotional authenticity. The band has sold out renowned venues including Radio City Music Hall, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Forest Hills Stadium, and Madison Square Garden, while making national television appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and CBS Saturday Morning. With standout performances at major festivals such as Bonnaroo and Austin City Limits, Goose continues to establish itself as one of the most exciting and innovative live bands of its generation.
