Goose will close their spring 2027 Florida run at The BayCare Sound on April 18

A year after a long second set in Clearwater, the jam band returns to Coachman Park on Sunday, April 18, 2027, for the last night of a seven-show Georgia and Florida tour.

Last April, Goose played a second set at The BayCare Sound that people were still talking about weeks later. Next April, Clearwater gets the last word. Goose play The BayCare Sound at Coachman Park on Sunday, April 18, 2027, with doors at 4:30 p.m. and music at 6 p.m. Tickets are through Ruth Eckerd Hall.

The date closes a seven-show spring run through Georgia and Florida that the band announced last week, as laid out by JamBase and TicketNews. The tour opens April 9 in Alpharetta, Georgia, plays Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, on April 13, and spends three nights at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, April 15–17, before ending in Clearwater the next night.

That order matters for a jam band. Goose build sets night to night, and the end of a run is when they've loosened up the most and have the most to play off. A three-night stand in St. Augustine just before Clearwater means the band will arrive with momentum. Fans who follow setlists closely will be watching what got skipped in St. Augustine and might turn up on Sunday.

It's also a return. Goose played The BayCare Sound in April 2026, and Grateful Web's review singled out an "expansive second set." The city of Clearwater listed that show on its own events page. Coming back a year later, as a tour closer, suggests the band and the room got along.

Clearwater gets the last word.

The BayCare Sound holds 9,000, which makes it one of the larger stops on this spring run. With a late-afternoon door time and a 6 p.m. start, it's planned as a full evening, and a Sunday-night closer by the water is about as good a setting as a jam show gets.

There's a giving angle too. According to TicketNews, $1 from every ticket on the spring tour goes to a volunteer-run nonprofit that supports smaller charities in the communities Goose visit.

Ticket timing: presales ran last week, and TicketNews reported the general on-sale for Friday, Oct. 30, so tickets are available now through Ruth Eckerd Hall's event page. A Goose tour finale tends to draw people from out of town, so if you're local and planning to go, don't wait for the spring.

Mark the date, plan for an early arrival, and save your energy for the second set.
