Goo Goo Dolls have confirm their first visit to UK since February 2020 and will be playing in Manchester next June
With more than 30 years together as a band and over 12 million albums sold, four-time GRAMMY-nominated rock band Goo Goo Dolls released their 13th studio album Chaos In Bloom earlier this year. As the first record of their career to be produced by front man John Rzeznik, Chaos in Bloom found the band continuing to evolve artistically as they have over the last four decades together. It’s an album of biting sarcasm, stadium-ready choruses, and the type of spear-sharp song-writing that’s led them to becoming one of the most influential alternative rock outfits of all time.
This year also saw their indelible smash hit “Iris” officially eclipse 1 billion streams on Spotify as well as being the BBC’s most streamed song from 1998.
Goo Goo Dolls recently finished a mammoth 70 date tour of the U.S and have just announced another outing for next summer. They partnered with the Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation for the tour, a non-profit founded in 2002 by Ali and Joe Torre to provide healing and education services to youth who have been traumatized by exposure to violence including domestic violence, child abuse, teen dating abuse, and sexual assault to help break the cycle of violence.
Formed in Buffalo, NY during1986 by John Rzeznik and Robby Takac, Goo Goo Dolls quietly broke records, contributed a string of staples to the American songbook, connected to millions of fans, and indelibly impacted popular music for three-plus decades. In addition to selling 12 million records worldwide, the group garnered four GRAMMY® Award nominations and seized a page in the history books by achieving 14 number one and Top 10.
