The Goo Goo Dolls Announce New Concept Album Release Date

May 15, 2025 — Iconic American rock band The Goo Goo Dolls have officially announced the release date for their upcoming concept album, marking their 15th studio record. The album is set to drop later this year, continuing the band’s legacy of emotionally resonant and radio-friendly rock.

Known for hits like Iris, Slide, and Name, the band is diving into new thematic territory with this project. While the title remains under wraps, frontman John Rzeznik describes it as “a journey through the highs and lows of the human experience, framed by the way we process memories.”

This marks the Goo Goo Dolls’ first concept album, following their 2022 release Chaos in Bloom. The new album is expected to explore deeper storytelling, blending their signature sound with fresh, experimental elements.

Coinciding with the announcement, the band is gearing up for their “Summer Anthem Tour” with special guests Dashboard Confessional. The tour begins in July and runs through late summer, with fans already buzzing about hearing the new material live.

More details, including the tracklist and pre-save options, are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks.
