Goose<\/a> has a jam-packed year on tap, thanks to new summer tour dates for 2026 that have just been announced.<\/p>\n The Disco Biscuits, moe. and Greensky Bluegrass are among the bands who will support the Connecticut-bred group for the upcoming shows. The trek is set to launch June 13 in Toronto and is scheduled to continue through Aug. 29 in Salt Lake City. Presales will begin<\/a> Wednesday (Jan. 28) and the general tickets will go on sale Friday (Jan. 30) at 10 a.m. local time.<\/p>\n The group had a big, big year in 2025. They released two new albums, starting with their fourth studio record, Everything Must Go<\/em>, which arrived in April. But they weren’t done. In mid-August, they gave fans close to 90 minutes of additional music, thanks to the surprise release of another album called Chain Yer Dragon<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong>\u00a0What Makes Goose a Standout in the Jam Band Scene?<\/a><\/p>\n As guitarist and vocalist Rick Mitarotonda explained in an interview, Chain Yer Dragon<\/em> helped the band tie up some loose ends, finally bringing to album some familiar fan favorites, including 16-minute+ closer, “Factory Fiction.” Some of the ideas, in fact, went as far back as 2011.<\/p>\n “We’ve been trying to make this record for a long time. …It makes sense now,” he said<\/a> in late August, not long after the album had been released. “It feels deeply right that it’s happening now … where the band is now, the way we’re communicating, the way we’re interacting with each other. It’s right. It feels really, really good for this material to have been realized this way.”<\/p>\n In a separate conversation with the Captain at WBLM<\/a>, Mitarotonda shared that as songs like “Give it Time,” the initial single from Everything Must Go<\/em>, demonstrated, they look at music as being an evolving thing. He said it’s “baked into” the overall philosophy of who they are as a group. “[There] are many bands that have forged that mentality, [with] the Grateful Dead<\/a> probably being one of the big ones.”<\/p>\n “Even with modern stuff, it’s an approach that I just love,” he added. “There’s so many ways a song can exist.” He points to Justin Vernon<\/a> of Bon Iver<\/a> as an additional example. “The way they do things live is not dissimilar. They’re not improvising for 20 minutes on end, but he’s changing and tinkering with arrangements.”<\/p>\n They’ll go all over, beginning with a March date in Athens, Georgia and April dates that will stretch from Asheville, North Carolina to Irving Texas. After a run of overseas shows in May and the first part of June, they’ll start logging the summer road miles here in the United States.<\/p>\n Highlights include a return to Madison Square Garden for two dates. They sold out the legendary New York venue last year for the first time, turning in an epic performance that ran for more than four hours<\/a>. They’ll also playr gigs at Red Rocks in the Denver area, plus Los Angeles at the Greek and Seattle at the WAMU Theater.<\/p>\n Mar. 28 \u2013 Athens, GA \u2013 Jam in the Streets \u2020 \u2020 Festival Appearance Rock reunions are creating some of the biggest headlines for 2026 \u2013 but there are lots of other huge shows on the way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Nick DeRiso<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat’s the Latest With Goose?<\/h3>\n
