In 2020, five Brooklyn high schoolers uploaded their old demos to the internet, a farewell to their band before splitting up for college. The farewell didn’t last long as record executives, stuck in lockdown with nothing to sign, found the tracks and started a bidding war. Six years later, Geese is one of rock’s most acclaimed young bands. Their major label debut, Projector, arrived in 2021, and in 2025 Getting Killed was named the year’s best album by both The New Yorker and Stereogum. Fresh off a S.N.L. appearance, and with a frontman Cameron Winter, whose solo work has acquired its own devoted following, the band comes home this fall to Forest Hills Stadium. And no, they are not called Goose. That’s the jam band. The New York Times has published a guide on how to tell the two bands apart. —Clara Scholl
