"We are truly excited to bring our Summer Anthem Tour 2025 to all our friends," Goo Goo Dolls frontman John Rzeznik said. "We’re busy putting together our 15th studio album so we will have some great new songs and of course we'll be playing all the songs you know and love. 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!’"

The band will perform a career-encompassing set that features multiple songs from their 2022 album "Chaos in Bloomalong" with other hits from their complete discography, including their global hit "Iris." The four-time Grammy-nominated track is now Certified Diamond and has amassed over 2 billion streams worldwide.

Goo Goo Dolls will be partnering with Joe Torre Safe At Home for the tour, a nonprofit 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.
