Goo Goo Dolls is an alternative rock band formed in 1985 in Buffalo, New York, USA by guitarist/vocalist John Rzeznik and bassist/vocalist Robby Takac initially under the name the Sex Maggots (the new name was chosen from an ad in True Detective magazine at the behest of a local club owner).
What seemed like an unlikely pairing at first turned out to be paired just right as Dashboard Confessional and Goo Goo Dolls joined forces for the aptly named Summer Anthem 2025 tour. The night was full of emotional singalongs that are perfect for the ’90s and ’00s throwback vibes we’re feeling these days.
