New York rock band Geese will make their debut appearance as musical guest on Saturday Night Live on January 24, 2026, marking a significant milestone for the rapidly rising group led by Cameron Winter.
The booking comes as little surprise to industry observers, given the band’s meteoric rise throughout 2025. Geese’s album Getting Killed was widely acclaimed, earning recognition as one of the year’s standout releases. The band has been embraced by New York’s music establishment, with Winter even photographed alongside Blondie’s Debbie Harry for New York Magazine’s cover.
Perhaps the clearest indicator of the SNL booking came last month when the show featured a parody of Winter, a traditional sign that a musical guest appearance was imminent for the Brooklyn-based rockers.
Geese will share the January 24 episode with host Teyana Taylor, who is making her hosting debut on the long-running NBC sketch comedy series. The appearance represents a major platform for the band to reach mainstream audiences, building on the momentum from their critically praised album and growing reputation as one of New York’s most important new rock acts.
The booking continues SNL‘s tradition of showcasing breakthrough artists at pivotal moments in their careers. For Southern California music fans, the performance offers an opportunity to witness one of indie rock’s most buzzed-about new acts on national television.
Geese’s SNL debut airs January 24 on NBC.
