The second iteration of the group’s three-day music & arts destination festival is set for May 2026 in Mexico
Goose has announced the second iteration of their annual destination festival, Viva El Gonzo, produced by 100x Hospitality and set for May 7-9, 2026 in San José del Cabo, Mexico. A three-day music and arts festival held in a sacred tropical oasis on the southern tip of the Baja California desert, Viva El Gonzo will see Goose playing all three nights, joined by an all-star assembly of special guests for an immersive musical experience like no other. A complete lineup will be announced soon.
General Admission festival tickets, TED and Super TED VIP, and travel packages will be available to Viva El Gonzo alumni beginning Monday, June 30th at 1 pm ET. The general sale starts Tuesday, July 1st at 1 pm ET. Payment plans are available with 5% down payment.
This spring’s inaugural edition of Viva El Gonzo proved an unforgettable milestone in what is fast shaping up as Goose’s most momentous year thus far. The three-day event saw a vibrant array of powerhouse performances from Goose and their star-studded lineup of guests, all set on the Baja California coastline against the breathtaking backdrop of the Sea of Cortés. Goose showcased their awe-inspiring range and creative imagination over the course of seven completely unique sets, with countless highlights including surprising covers, expansive jams on beloved fan favorites, the debut of exhilarating new originals, and live renditions of every song from their acclaimed new album, Everything Must Go. All told, Viva El Gonzo represented a titanic moment for Goose, exceeding all expectations with its genre-blurring performances, groundbreaking approach towards programming, and inspired variety of once-in-a-lifetime experiences, setting an extraordinary bar for future iterations going forward.
Goose is currently traveling on the biggest live run of their career, the recently launched Everything Must Go Tour. This week will see the band’s first-ever headlining show at New York City’s world-famous Madison Square Garden on June 28th as well as a very special homecoming return to New Haven, Connecticut’s Westville Music Bowl on June 29th.
Having recently performed at both Columbia, Maryland’s All Good Now, Highmount, New York’s Mountain Jam, and, most recently, a sold-out surprise club show at Racket NYC hosted by legendary local New York radio station WFUV, upcoming months will also see Goose making an array of top-billed festival appearances, including Newport Folk Festival and more.
Goose’s recently released, Everything Must Go, available everywhere now via No Coincidence Records. Goose’s fourth studio LP and first new studio collection in nearly three years following 2022’s critically acclaimed Dripfield, the album marks both a statement of intent for Goose as well as an arrival of sorts — a journey for fans and newcomers alike through the group’s past, present, and infinite future.
