The Goo Goo Dolls, formed in 1986 in Buffalo, New York, have transitioned from a punk/alternative cover band to a pop-rock powerhouse. Led by John Rzeznik (vocals/guitar) and Robby Takac (bass/vocals), the band achieved significant commercial success in the late 1990s with their landmark album Dizzy Up the Girl (1998), which produced iconic hits such as 'Iris', 'Slide', and 'Black Balloon'. Notably, 'Iris' held the record for most weeks at #1 on Billboard's Adult Top 40 chart for many years, solidifying its place in radio history. The Goo Goo Dolls continue to tour extensively, celebrating their extensive catalog of hits during their current tour, the Goo Goo Dolls Summer 2025 / 2026 Tour, co-headlining with Dashboard Confessional.
