Viva el Gonzo 2026: What a Day to Be Living

And I’ve got such a long way to go, to make it to the border of Mexico. So I ride like the wind. Ride like the wind.

If the freezing cold temperatures got you singing the winter blues, it’s time to crank up that Goose cover of Christopher Cross. Get ready to “Ride Like the Wind” back to Cabo for round two of Viva el Gonzo!

Goose returns to San Jose del Cabo for another edition of Viva el Gonzo after a massively successful first year. CashorTrade is the only place where Goose fans can safely buy and sell travel packages for the festival and we’re stoked for another year of fun in the sun.

It’s no surprise that Goose decided to bring the festival back after fans raved about the first year. The Viva el Gonzo 2026 edition takes place from May 7-9 and the lineup is stacked.

In addition to three nights of Goose, fans can look forward to sets from My Morning Jacket (and a Jim James solo set!), Cory Wong, California Honeydrops, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Tractorbeam, LP Giobbi (Dead House), lespecial, Kitchen Dwellers, and so much more.

Last year the music went from 3pm until the wee hours of the morning every night with plenty of sit-ins, and we expect the same for 2026. Who else is excited for Jim James and Cory Wong to rip it up with Goose?!

Unlike other destination events in Mexico, fans are able to choose their own adventure for Viva el Gonzo. If you want to stay at an all-inclusive resort, you can go for it. And if not, you can book travel packages with one of the hotels or just take a DIY approach to your accommodation.

There are even glamping options for Viva el Gonzo 2026 where you can walk from your tent right over to the festival site. No matter your travel style, there’s an option for you. 

If someone in your crew bailed and you have a spot to fill, or you have to sell your whole travel package, CashorTrade is here to help. Our support team has tons of experience working directly with festival organizers to transfer travel packages for these types of events, and we had a great first year with Viva el Gonzo.

Beyond the music, there’s plenty to do, see, and taste. Last year fans could join Peter Anspach for a run and a cacao ceremony. Cotter Ellis hosted a fun beach volleyball tournament. There are yoga classes, group meditations, theme nights, and more.

You can’t go to Mexico and not indulge in the food and drink. Viva el Gonzo has a great selection of Mexican cuisine (hello, shrimp tacos at set break!) as well as a wide variety of beverages, including tequila and the famous Mexican beers along with solid NA options.

Goose set the bar high with the first edition of Viva el Gonzo last year, and we fully expect them to raise it in 2026. Don’t miss out on this incredible 3-day event in Mexico. Grab your tickets and we’ll see you on la playa!

We say “Oh, what a day to be living!”
