Brooklyn-based rock band Geese will make their highly anticipated debut as musical guests on Saturday Night Live on January 24, 2026, marking a significant milestone for the rising New York City rockers.
The performance comes amid a breakout year for the band, whose 2025 album Getting Killed received critical acclaim and was named Stereogum’s best album of the year. The booking appears to confirm Geese’s status as one of New York’s most important emerging rock acts, joining a prestigious lineup of artists who have graced the SNL stage.
The appearance had been widely anticipated by music industry observers, particularly after frontman Cameron Winter was parodied on the show last month — often considered a telltale sign of an impending booking. The parody segment signaled SNL’s recognition of the band’s growing cultural impact in New York’s music scene.
Adding to the band’s recent high-profile exposure, New York Magazine recently featured Winter alongside Blondie’s Debbie Harry on its cover, further cementing Geese’s position within the city’s musical legacy. The SNL performance represents the latest in a series of career-defining moments for the young band.
Geese’s January 24 appearance will showcase their critically acclaimed sound to a national television audience, potentially introducing their music to millions of viewers. The band has built a reputation for their energetic live performances and innovative approach to rock music, making their SNL debut a noteworthy event for both longtime fans and new audiences.
The episode featuring Geese will air live from NBC’s Studio 8H in New York City, with additional details about the show’s host and other guests expected to be announced closer to the broadcast date.
