Originally released in 1995, A Boy Named Goo catapulted the band to mainstream success and was Certified 2x Platinum within a year of its release. Driven by the smash hit “Name,” the record also included the singles “Flat Top,” “Naked,” “Only One” and “Long Way Down.” Fans can also watch a fully remastered version of the video for “Name” HERE.

The 24-track, deluxe 2xLP format will include the original album, plus an unreleased live concert performance recorded in Las Vegas on March 10, 1996. The 2xCD deluxe edition contains 34 tracks and includes the live concert, plus 4 B-sides from the era and 6 songs recorded for Modern Rock Live. There is also a limited 2xLP edition pressed on sea blue vinyl available exclusively via the band’s webstore.

The band will take their live show back on the road this year, which kicked off in Bruce, Australia last night, and takes in South Africa before an extensive run of summer dates with Dashboard Confessional in North America. Full tour routing is below, tickets can be purchased at googoodolls.com/tour.

The band will perform a career-encompassing set that features multiple songs from their 2022 album Chaos in Bloom along with other hits from their complete discography, including their global hit “Iris.” The 4x GRAMMY-nominated track is now Certified Diamond and has amassed over 2 billion streams worldwide.

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.”

So 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” reached #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 for 18 straight weeks and would be named “#1 Top 40 Song of the Last 20 Years.” Hot 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 catalogue.

Stay tuned for more from Goo Goo Dolls to come soon as they are currently in the studio working on their 15th studio album.
