Geese Confirmed as End Of The Road’s Secret Opening Headliner

The booking highlights Geese’s rise following a BRIT Award, major festival slots, critical acclaim, and growing live demand.

Overview

  • Festival co‑founder Simon Taffe revealed on BBC Radio 6 Music on Wednesday that Geese will close the Woods stage on Thursday, September 3 at End Of The Road’s 20th‑anniversary edition.
  • End Of The Road runs September 3–6 at Larmer Tree Gardens and Geese join a bill already topped by Pulp, CMAT, Mac DeMarco and Super Furry Animals.
  • Organizers say the festival is sold out and will publish stage splits next week while urging fans to use official resale channels such as Twickets.
  • The slot marks Geese’s second appearance at the Dorset festival after 2023 and follows a sharp rise for the band, including a 2026 BRIT Award, an SNL debut, and major festival dates.
  • The surprise headliner caps the festival’s milestone programming and is likely to intensify resale demand and attention on the Woods stage when full scheduling is released next week.
