Geese confirmed as ‘secret’ headliner of End of the Road
Geese have been unveiled as the final headliner for End of the Road festival.
The New Yorkers will be joining Pulp, CMAT and Mac DeMarco at the top of the bill of the Dorset festival, which sits at the end of the British summer season.
It will take place again in Larmer Tree Gardens between September 3rd and September 6th, 2026, with Geese taking to The Woods Stage on the Thursday night.
The stacked bill also includes Super Furry Animals, Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Earl Sweatshirt & MIKE, Kurt Vile & The Violators, Ty Segall, Fat Dog, Caroline, YHWH Nailgun, Just Mustard, James K, Kelly Lee Owens (DJ), Angine de Poitrine, Ratboys, Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek, and Factory Floor.
Sadly, for those without a ticket, End of the Road is sold out, which is no surprise considering it boasts one of the most exciting line-ups of festival season across Europe.
Initially, when the first wave of the line-up was unveiled in November, End of the Road promised that the secret Thursday headliner “will remain a secret until the last minute”.
However, considering Geese’s summer itinerary left an End of the Road-shaped hole, it was assumed by many that they would be stepping up to headline their first UK festival in Dorset, which has now been confirmed with less than three months to go until they hit the stage.
End of the Road wrote on Instagram, “The secret is OUT. GEESE are your Thursday night headliners! Returning after three years and a meteoric rise to the top, the brilliantly unstoppable New York outfit join Pulp, CMAT, and Mac DeMarco to headline the Woods Stage for our sold-out 20th edition.”
The Brit Award-winners will be arriving in Europe for festival season in August, with notable dates on the continent including Oya Festival, Way Out West, Flow Festival, Pukkelpop, and Lowlands before they arrive in the UK and Ireland.
Before arriving at End of the Road, Geese will headline two dates at the Barrowlands in Glasgow, two nights at the Troxy in London, as well as perform at Reading and Leeds Festival, plus Electric Picnic in Ireland.
