Goose returned to the Westville Music Bowl for the sixth time in their career to close out their Summer 2025 tour with another lights out performance. This New Haven, CT venue is like a hometown venue to them, given the proximity to their early base of Wilton, CT. They unfurled a number of fun covers as well as heated jams at the former tennis stadium turned premiere concert venue, and lived up to the adage "Never miss Goose at the Westville."
Just over six years ago to the day, we heard about this relatively unknown band from Connecticut named Goose who was allegedly about to burst onto the jam-rock scene via a breakout performance at the upcoming 2019 Peach Festival. If that visionary had also mentioned that Goose would also sell out Madison Square Garden in June 2025, we would not have believed it, despite how fresh their sound was at that time.
The Connecticut based jam rock meets indie groove outfit known as Goose returned to the modern Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica for round two in "Show-hio." Despite a torrential downpour that occurred before the show began, the band lit up the iconic Cleveland waterfront nestled on the famous Erie Canal. Night two was certainly an extension of night one, and included a version of their original "Tumble" for the ages.
Goose returned to the Moody Center on December 31, 2024, to close out the year with a bang at a show billed as a formal event. The band donned button-up shirts, ties, slacks, capes, and masquerade masks reminiscent of The Phantom of the Opera. These masks, along with roses, were handed out to the crowd as they entered the venue.
After taking a year off from performing on New Year’s, Goose returned to Austin, Texas, for the third time in their career and for their sixth New Year’s run, which included a performance on December 31. They chose the 15,000-seat Moody Center ATX—located in the heart of the University of Texas and home to the Texas Longhorns basketball teams—to host the event.
Goose returned for the second night of Goosemas XI at the North Charleston Coliseum and delivered even more twists and turns. They kept fans on their toes with an unpredictable set, despite revisiting a theme they had executed multiple times before.
The end of the year, along with Goosemas, is upon us once again. It’s hard to believe how fast 2024 flew—and flew it did. Goose delivered the first night of the bingo-themed Goosemas XI without a hitch at the North Charleston Coliseum on Friday, December 13th, much to the delight of the fans. The show included the mystery of the bingo balls, which featured a couple of first-time-played covers.
Night two in St. Augustine with Goose felt like a dream, as the band continued to play out of their minds in a mild tropical paradise. Most folks spent their day on the beach, by the pool, or enjoying the incredibly fresh seafood before lazily making the mile-or-two migration to the venue, the St. Augustine Amphitheatre.
As their Florida run continued, Goose headed to the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, ranked the second-best amphitheater in the USA by Pollstar Magazine in 2019. This 5,000-capacity venue boasted impeccable sound and not a single bad seat in the house. The band, still on fire from the previous night, delighted the crowd with several notable covers.
Goose celebrated their first Halloween in St. Petersburg, Florida, on October 31, 2024, with a crowd of around five thousand fans and a chilling Stranger Things theme. This all took place adjacent to the St. Pete Pier, nestled within Tampa Bay. The band was as thrilled to be in Florida as the fans were to see them on their home turf. They unveiled a number of new, first-time-played tunes intermixed with their signature indie groove originals.
