Goose’s Red Rocks Shows Coincided With A Blood Moon Eclipse

Goose launched into its five-night sold-out Colorado run this week, which features a sold-out three-night run at Red Rocks Amphitheatre (August 27-28, September 1) along with sold-out shows at Bellevue, CO’s The Mishwawaka on August 31 and Dillon, CO’s Dillon Amphitheater on September 2.

Leading into the legendary run, the band stopped by a college house party in Boulder, CO, the night before Red Rocks, performing to an ecstatic crowd with what has become another viral moment for Goose. With fans squeezing in from all angles and attendees chanting and dancing, the energy was electric, and Boulder was buzzing. This is how Goose rolls with a history of unconventional, often surprising sets, and this was yet another twist of the unexpected. Near the end, the police arrived and tried to halt the show, but the band played on.

Set One Highlights

With all the vibes in the air, the scene was set for an epic blastoff at Red Rocks, where the band was welcomed on a night with a full lunar eclipse and blood moon that was shining down on the crowd. The energy was contagious, and it was all smiles at Red Rocks; night one was full of peaks and grooves that mirrored the force of nature present.

Set one started with “Eminence Front,” The Who cover that has the just right groove to set the tone for the magical night at Red Rocks. The contagious bassline of “MEDIA” followed up, then a “Rockdale” that led into “Silver Rising,” where the band was paying homage to the moon that was glowing behind the stage and enhancing the entire experience. The vibes were high; the crowd was fully present, witnessing a moment of connection between art and nature. The hits kept coming with “Spirit of the Dark Horse,” then a rare “Dragonfly” jam from the Ted Tapes which was a high point for super the “flock.” The first set ended funky with “Thatch,” with a deep jam that set the tone for what was to come in set two while the moon was taking over the sky in the Rockies.

Set Two Eclipse Energy

The lunar eclipse was peaking during set two, and it started with “Madhuvan” which led into “Fish in the Sea,” a cover that went deep into a groove and catapulted the eclipse energy on a near perfect weather night. “Red Bird” was bright, happy, and a peak filled improv that had the place moving. Set two closed with a “Wysteria Lane” that went hard and electronic and extreme energy to close the set on a super high note. The encore feature new song “POP,” that has an indie vibe and fast tempo that fans are digging.

Goose Tour Details

While these Colorado shows will close out the summer tour, this fall will then see Goose head back out on the road for an additional headline run, beginning November 3 at Kansas City, MO’s The Midland Theatre and continuing through the month. Highlights include 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). As with GOOSEMAS 2026, $1 from every ticket sold on Goose’s 2026 Summer Tour and 2026 Fall Tour will benefit Western Sun Foundation, a volunteer-run organization supporting grassroots nonprofits in the cities the band visits.

Goose continues to level up in real time, and it’s inspiring to watch Rick Mitarotonda (guitar/vocals), Peter Anspach (keys/vocals/guitar), Tevor Weekz (bass/vocals), and Cotter Ellis (drums/vocals) feeling the flow and capturing the moment making music that evolves and connects.
