The Orion Amphitheater

<h3>Formed by John Rzeznik and Robby Takac in 
Buffalo, NY in 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.</h3>
 
Beyond
 selling 15 million records worldwide, the group has garnered four 
GRAMMY® Award nominations and nearly a dozen platinum &amp; gold singles
 combined, and seized a page in the history books by achieving 16 number
 one 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 double-platinum, Dizzy Up The Girl five-times-platinum, and Gutterflower [2002] and Let Love In [2006] both went gold as 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 rack up platinum 
&amp; gold statuses – including the recently platinum-certified “Slide”,
 “Black Balloon” and “Better Days” – and has been covered by everyone 
from Taylor Swift to Phoebe Bridgers and Maggie Rogers.
Among a string of hits, “Iris” clutched #1 on the 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 
seven-times-platinum status and re-entered the Billboard charts, yet 
again proving the timelessness of Goo Goo Dolls’ illustrious catalog.
