Geese Pay Tribute to Dolly Parton at Glasgow, Debut "Disco" Mid-Tour
New York band Geese played two sold-out shows at Glasgow's Barrowland on Tuesday, August 25 and Wednesday, August 26, 2026. The first night fell just hours after news broke of Dolly Parton's death, and frontman Cameron Winter paid tribute mid-song by holding his phone up to the mic to play Parton's 1977 single "Here You Come Again." The following night, the band debuted 2021 track "Disco" for the first time on this tour. According to NME, Geese are next headed to Reading & Leeds 2026.
A tribute played from a phone
Geese often work cover snippets into live renditions of "2122." On August 25, partway through the song, Winter said "Rest in peace Dolly" before lifting his phone next to his guitar to play "Here You Come Again."
On the second night, August 26, the mid-song insert changed to The Jesus and Mary Chain's "Just Like Honey." That show also marked the tour debut of "Disco," alongside "Domoto" and "St. Elmo."

After "Getting Killed"
Geese's latest album Getting Killed received a five-star review from NME and topped the outlet's albums of 2025 list. Their earlier show this year at London's Hammersmith Apollo also received five stars, with NME comparing the performance to the moments Nirvana, The Strokes, and Radiohead found their own sound, and suggesting the band defining this decade lies somewhere between Geese and Fontaines D.C.
