Event Details

Goose has announced full details of their upcoming fall headline tour including a return to Cross Insurance Arena in Portland, Maine on November 15, 2026 presented by the State Theatre.

The last time Goose performed at the Cross Insurance Arena was with the Trey Anastasio Band on November 9, 2022.

The new dates mark the impending arrival of their sixth studio album, BIG MODERN!, out June 12 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.

About Goose

Goose is an American rock band known for its genre-blending sound, improvisational live shows, and deeply dedicated fan base. The band — Rick Mitarotonda (vocals, guitar), Peter Anspach (vocals, keys, guitar), Trevor Weekz (bass), and Cotter Ellis (drums) — has risen from performing in Connecticut basements to headlining some of the country’s most iconic venues. Blending indie-rock hooks with expansive improvisation, Goose has built its following organically through relentless touring and a strong DIY ethos, leveraging platforms like YouTube, Bandcamp, and nugs.net to connect directly with fans.

The band recently announced their sixth studio album, BIG MODERN!, arriving June 12, alongside lead single “Good2B,” a sun-soaked, high-energy introduction to the record. The release follows a prolific 2025 that saw the arrival of two studio albums, including Everything Must Go and Chain Yer Dragon, which propelled Goose to #2 on Billboard’s Top New Artist Albums chart and drew praise from Rolling Stone for its balance of studio precision and live energy. Everything Must Go’s singles “Give It Time” and “Your Direction” both charted simultaneously at AAA radio, making Goose the only band to achieve this distinction.

Since recording their 2016 debut Moon Cabin in a New Hampshire barn, Goose has refined a sound that bridges thoughtful songwriting, tight musicianship, and emotional honesty. With sold-out shows at venues like Radio City Music Hall, Red Rocks, Forest Hills Stadium, and Madison Square Garden, along with appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and major festivals like Bonnaroo and Austin City Limits, Goose continues to cement its reputation as one of the most compelling live bands of its generation.
