The American indie-groove band Goose will perform at Colorado State University the evening of Oct. 7, the day after headlining two sold-out shows at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
The all-ages show on the West Lawn of the Lory Student Center, offered in partnership with AEG Presents, will begin at 6:30 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m.
“Northern Colorado’s thriving music scene is part of what makes our community so special and what makes Fort Collins one of the best college towns in the country,” said CSU President Amy Parsons. “We’re thrilled to be part of this broader ecosystem, and to offer outstanding live music to all members of our campus community and the broader community.”
Advance tickets are required, and student tickets can be reserved through the Lory Student Center Box Office using students’ netID login. All student tickets are on a first-come, first-served basis, and there is a limited quantity of tickets available.

Goose, a five-member band from Norwalk, Connecticut, established a following that grew after its 2016 album Moon Cabin. It began selling out shows in fall 2019, and, after the pandemic, continued its success with livestream Goosemas holiday concerts and the album Shenanigans Nite Club, released in June 2021. The band’s third studio recording, Dripfield, was released in 2022.
