Every tour we do is about making new friends and reuniting with everyone who’s been with us since day one. Thank you! In addition, we’ll be joined by Dashboard confessional. One of the last great American rock bands. It’s gonna be a summer of loud music and good friends and I can’t wait to get it going! By the way, It’s the 25th anniversary of our album A Boy Named Goo. Seems like yesterday. Where did the time go? Love you all and can’t wait to see you. Don’t forget to sing along!’

Buffalo rockers John Rzeznik and Robby Takac

Formed by John Rzeznik and Robby Takac in Buffalo, NY during 1986, Goo Goo Dolls have quietly broken records, contributed a string of staples to the American songbook, connected to millions of fans, and indelibly impacted popular music for three-plus decades. Beyond selling 15 million records worldwide, the group has garnered 4x GRAMMY Award nominations and nearly a dozen platinum and gold singles combined, and seized a page in the history books by achieving 16 #1 and Top 10 hits. As a result, they hold the all-time radio record for “Most Top 10 Singles.” 

Thus far, A Boy Named Goo (1995) has gone 2x Certified Platinum, Dizzy Up The Girl (1998) 5x Certified Platinum and Gutterflower (2002) and Let Love In (2006) are both Certified Gold. In addition, Something for the Rest of Us (2010) and Magnetic (2013) bowed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200. Their music continues to reach new audiences around the world and has been covered by everyone from the likes of Taylor Swift, Phoebe Bridgers and Maggie Rogers.

Among a string of hits, “Iris” clutched #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 for 18 straight weeks and would be named “#1 Top 40 Song of the Last 20 Years.” On the heels of going viral on TikTok, the track recently achieved 8x Certified Platinum and re-entered the Billboard charts, yet again proving the timelessness of Goo Goo Dolls’ illustrious catalog.
