Goose Continues to Celebrate Forthcoming Album, BIG MODERN!, With Fall 2026 Headline Tour
Back-To-Back Shows at Mohegan Sun Arena November 13th & 14th
UNCASVILLE, CT (June 1, 2026) –– Goose has announced full details of their upcoming fall headline tour. Dates begin November 3rd at Kansas City, MO’s The Midland Theatre and continue through the entire month, stopping at Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday, November 13th and Saturday, November 14th. The shows will begin at 7:00pm.
Tickets to see the Wilton Connecticut based band at Mohegan Sun will go on sale Friday, June 5th, 2026, at 10:00am via Ticketmaster. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Saturday, June 6th. $1 from every ticket sold on Goose’s 2026 Summer Tour will benefit Western Sun Foundation (WSF), a volunteer-run 501(c)3 supporting grassroots nonprofits in the cities the band visits. For complete details and ticket information, please visit www.goosetheband.com/tour.
The new dates mark the impending arrival of their sixth studio album, BIG MODERN!, out June 12th on No Coincidence Records. A fully immersive world of sound that ingeniously captures what it feels like to move through today’s overstimulated, hyperconnected society, it includes such evocative new singles as “Torero” and the rapturous “Good2B,” both available everywhere now. Hailed by Rolling Stone as “groovy and discombobulated…a vintage Goose gem,” “Good2B” followed an array of cryptic teases from the band, including a hilarious video posted to social media starring Emmy Award-nominated actor Jake Lacy (The White Lotus, The Office, Girls), who then accompanied the band as they sat courtside at the New York Knicks vs. Chicago Bulls game at NYC’s Madison Square Garden. Lacy sat between the four members of Goose, each of whom wore bright yellow hoodies spelling out “FACE” – a key lyrical component of their fan favorite song, “Big Modern!” The teaser video and MSG appearance capped off two weeks of speculation inspired by guerrilla marketing in major US cities featuring the words “BIG MODERN!” along with a BIGMODERN.com website displaying Morse code for mysterious phrases and interactive messaging based on Goose fans’ thoughts across social media.
“As I see it, all these ideas we’ve been playing with are an absurdist reflection of the confusion of existing in today’s world,” Goose singer-guitarist Rick Mitarotonda told Rolling Stone. “Over-stated guerrilla marketing campaign with zero context or direct connection to anything, video of a five-minute rant from an unhinged executive, showing up at an NBA game in ridiculous sweatsuits…The album is a dispatch from interesting times, without judgment or superiority. We’re all in it the same – the exhilarating, disorienting experience of constantly being so ‘connected’. The overstimulating, high-resolution world of content streaming directly into your brain, in real time, all the time. Synthetic, prepackaged human emotion on demand for your entertainment. The nightly doomscroll bliss. The relentless worship of the projection of an image of self to the world. Identity as a brand. Your FACE… on your FACE. Somehow, more becomes less. Something is lost, but we’re not totally sure what it is. It’s awesome, and it’s terrifying.”
