The Connecticut indie groove quartet Goose has revealed plans for an extensive spring 2026 tour across the Southeast, Gulf Coast, and Texas, paired with subscriber livestreams on nugs.net. Fans unable to attend live will gain front-row access from home, while the band kicks off with a headline slot at a melanoma-awareness benefit festival this weekend. This move underscores the band's commitment to blending live performances with digital reach in the evolving jam music landscape.
Headline Spot at Jam in the Streets Festival
Goose headlines Jam in the Streets this weekend in Athens, Georgia, the seventh annual event organized by Jam for Cam. Held on Washington Street in downtown Athens, the festival supports melanoma awareness, education, and research through a nonprofit dedicated to the cause. Moon Taxi, Clay Street Unit, and regional acts join the lineup, drawing crowds to a street-level celebration that fuses music with philanthropy before Goose's full tour launch.
Southeast Swing and Gulf Coast Stops
The tour proper starts April 10 at ExploreAsheville.com Arena in Asheville, North Carolina, and continues through April 25. Multiple-night stands anchor the route: two shows each at War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; St. Augustine Amphitheatre in St. Augustine, Florida; and Saenger Theatre in New Orleans. These venues capture the band's draw in warmer climates, where groove-oriented sets thrive amid dedicated regional followings.
Texas Finale and Livestream Details
The itinerary closes in Texas with performances at Bayou Music Center in Houston, Moody Center in Austin, and The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving. Subscribers to nugs All Access can watch streams live and on demand, alongside archival recordings from Goose and other artists. This partnership expands access for a genre where live improvisation and communal energy define the experience, allowing broader audiences to engage without travel.
