About Goo Goo Dolls
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-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. As a result, they hold the all-time radio record for “Most Top 10 Singles.”
Most recently, the band’s global hit “Iris” peaked at #9 on Spotify’s Global Daily Chart, marking yet another chart position peak for the iconic track nearly 30 years after release. On the heels of going viral on TikTok, the 4x GRAMMY-nominated song is now Certified Diamond and accumulated over 5 billion streams to date worldwide, amassing over a billion streams in 2025 alone. The “Song Of The Summer” continues to reach new audiences around the world and has been covered by the likes of Taylor Swift, Machine Gun Kelly, Phoebe Bridgers and Maggie Rogers, yet again proving the timelessness and staying power of Goo Goo Dolls’ illustrious catalog.
Thus 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.
About Rob Thomas
Rob Thomas still pushes himself to progress as both a performer and a songwriter. Even after achieving sales of 80 million records worldwide between his solo output, Matchbox Twenty, and various collaborations, generating billions of streams, and entertaining millions of fans on the road, a restless burst of inspiration unflinchingly drives him to create. Beyond Matchbox Twenty smashes such as “Push,” “3AM,” “If You’re Gone,” “Bent,” and more, he has delivered a series of solo hits, including “Lonely No More,” “This Is How A Heart Breaks,” “Little Wonders,” and “Street Corner Symphony.” He elevated into the stratosphere alongside Santana on “Smooth,” which garnered three GRAMMY® Awards and went triple-platinum. As a solo artist, Rob has notched three consecutive Top 10 entries on the Billboard 200, beginning with his now-classic double-platinum #1 debut album …Something To Be. Most recently, 2019’s Chip Tooth Smile bowed in the Top 15. Plus, it incited the applause of Rolling Stone, Billboard, Good Morning America, and ABC’s Nightline who professed, “No matter your age group or musical taste – or whether you even realize it – you’re probably familiar with Rob Thomas’ music.” He stands out as the first artist to receive the Songwriter Hall of Fame’s coveted “Hal David Starlight Award” in addition to garnering numerous BMI and ASCAP Awards. Giving back at every turn, he also notably co-founded Sidewalk Angels Foundation alongside his wife Marisol Thomas. On his sixth full-length solo album All Night Days, he harnesses the same heart, energy, and spirit that cemented him as a generational artist, beginning with the single “Hard To Be Happy.” In 2025, he continues to write honest songs about life and love that always seem to hit you at the right moment when you need them the most.
