What Is Viva El Gonzo?
Viva El Gonzo is Goose’s artist-curated destination festival, now in its second year. The event centers on three consecutive nights of Goose performances (two sets each night) alongside a thoughtfully selected lineup of artists hand picked by the band. The entire experience unfolds across El Ganzo Oasis, a sprawling tropical venue featuring multiple stages, art installations, pop-up experiences, and an eclectic marketplace of local vendors and cuisine. There is also activities with band members, one-of-a-kind collaborations, and plenty of surprises that will unfold throughout the weekend.
The festival’s ethos centers on the idea of “Choose Your Own Adventure.” Attendees can craft their own experience, whether that’s catching every performance, exploring San José del Cabo’s vibrant downtown, taking excursions like snorkeling or horseback riding, or simply relaxing by the beach as the tunes and waves collide. A welcome party on Wednesday, May 6th kicks things off, and the festival concludes with late-night experiences at Crania beachside club, which boasts immersive art installations and music.
