In late November 2009, the band's name appeared on an initial list of performers for the 2010 SXSW music festival. In the ensuing 24 hours, "Goober" and "Junior" released a video on YouTube announcing the return of the band after a 15-year "retirement". The first scheduled concert of the reformed Goober & The Peas was on December 26, 2009 at St. Andrews Hall in Detroit and was a sold-out show. Their second Detroit show of the reunion was on July 17, 2010. Once again, it was at St. Andrews, and once again, it was sold out. They played at the Ferndale DIY Fest on September 17, 2010, and at a St. Baldricks kids with cancer charity event in Romeo, MI in March 2011. The band reunited again in July 2014 to perform at the inaugural Pig & Whiskey Festival in Ferndale, Michigan.
