If it feels like everyone’s talking about Geese these past few months, then get ready for even more chatter – this time from your parents. NBC has announced the rock band will be the musical guest on Saturday Night Live on January 24, with Teyana Taylor hosting. Finn Wolfhard and A$AP Rocky will steer SNL’s first episode of the new year on January 17, with Alexander Skarsgård and Cardi B closing out the month on January 31.
The news of Geese playing SNL isn’t a complete surprise; during the final episode of 2025, cast member James Austin Johnson impersonated frontman Cameron Winter in the “Random Duet Christmas Spectacular” sketch, while others spoofed Kate Bush, Yoko Ono, and Björk. That episode featured Ariana Grade in her second stint as host and Cher as the holiday special’s musical guest.
Geese released their fourth album, Getting Killed, back in September. After steady buzz from their live concerts, the band landed a handful of special opportunities: performing “Taxes” on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, recording a special live set for Nigel Godrich’s revered From the Basement series, covering New Radicals’ classic “You Get What You Give” on BBC Radio 1, and Winter seemingly singing a Bruce Springsteen cover for an Xbox ad but refusing to confirm it’s really him. See what all the hype is about by catching Geese at Governors Ball Music Festival this summer.
