It was an unusually cold, windy day on June 4 at the Vina Robles Amphitheatre in Paso Robles, California—but that did not deter Leon Bridges fans from packing the beautiful venue the moment the gates opened. Concertgoers were treated to a surprisingly enjoyable opening set by LA LOM.

The last day at any festival is always bittersweet. Fans have figured out the ropes and finally feel at home, despite having to pack up and leave after the music ends. Viva El Gonzo was no exception, however the incredibly inspired performances eased the transition back into normalcy. This included an absolute raging set by festival host Goose that featured no guests or covers.

The festivities returned for Day Two at Viva El Gonzo, Goose's first international festival that was held in San Jose Del Cabo, Baja California Sur, Mexico on May 9, 2025. The weather was picture perfect in this tropical paradise located about twenty driving hours south of San Diego. Festival goers had grown their sea legs, and were also treated to a number of exciting collaborations.
