Goo Goo Dolls – which features singer and guitarist John Rzeznik and bassist Robby Takac – have been on the road since July for an extensive summer headlining tour featuring Collective Soul and Tribe Society. The summer leg continues through the middle of September, with remaining stops in Miami, Austin, and Las Vegas. The band is touring in support of 11th studio album, “Boxes,” lauded by the likes of People, Huffington Post, and Metro, who call the album a “step forward in the band’s extensive repertoire.” “Boxes” features the hit “So Alive,” which the Goo Goo Dolls have performed everywhere from “The Today Show” and “The Talk” to “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “Conan.”

The multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated Goo Goo Dolls are one of the most globally respected and influential forces in popular music, selling more than 12 million albums since 1986. They have scored 14 Top 10 radio hits (more than any other artist in the history of the Hot AC format), including “Name,” “Slide,” and “Iris,” the latter spending nearly 12 straight months on the Billboard charts and holding the No. 1 position for 17 consecutive weeks. Formed in Buffalo, New York, the band has toured the globe countless times, performed in front of millions of fans, received numerous awards (including four Grammy nominations), and recorded and released 11 studio albums. Rzeznik has also been honored with the Songwriters Hall of Fame Hal David Starlight Award.
