Goo Goo Dolls are hitting the road in summer 2025 for the highly anticipated Summer Anthem Tour, and they’re bringing along rock favorites Dashboard Confessional. With a career-spanning setlist and new music in the works, this tour promises an unforgettable summer for fans.
A Summer to Remember
The tour, which celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Goo Goo Dolls’ seminal album A Boy Named Goo, kicks off on July 13 in Phoenix, Arizona, and wraps up on September 12. Fans can expect hits from their extensive discography, songs from their 2022 album Chaos in Bloom, and possibly a deeper dive into A Boy Named Goo.
Speaking on the tour, frontman John Rzeznik shared:
“We’re excited to bring our Summer Anthem Tour 2025 to all our friends. We’ll have some great new songs from our upcoming 15th studio album and, of course, the classics you love. It’s about making new memories and celebrating with fans who’ve been there since the start. Don’t forget to sing along!”
Dashboard Confessional Joins the Celebration
