The announcement follows the Goo Goo Dolls’ extensive run of Summer Tour dates, which included lauded performances at iHeartRadio Festival and Sea.Hear.Now Festival. Following their viral success, the band’s Diamond-certified (10,000,000 in sales) hit “Iris” has garnered over 6 billion global streams, amassing over 1 billion streams in 2025 alone. 

Beyond selling 15 million records worldwide, Goo Goo Dolls have garnered 4x GRAMMY-nominations and nearly a dozen platinum and gold singles combined and seized a page in the history books by achieving 15 #1 and Top 10 hits.
