Goo Goo Dolls, O.A.R. pair for NY concerts

Tickets on sale this Friday alongside release of new remix of ‘Save Me From Myself’

Multi-Platinum, four-time Grammy-nominated rock band Goo Goo Dolls have revealed the second leg of their “The Big Night Out Tour” with special guests Fitz and The Tantrums. The newly announced dates will kick off this fall at The Cuthbert Amphitheater in Eugene, Oregon, on Sept. 12, while O.A.R. will be special guests during the first leg this summer.

Traversing through major outdoor venues coast-to-coast, the North American run will see the group delivering career-encompassing sets that feature songs from their new album “Chaos in Bloom,” along with other hits from their complete discography, including the hit “Iris,” which eclipsed 1 billion streams on Spotify last year.

Tickets for nearly all of the new tour dates with Fitz and The Tantrums go on-sale at 10 a.m. local time this Friday, Feb. 17 – the same day the band will release Alex Aldi’s new remix of “Save Me From Myself.” VIP packages will be available for all dates, and more information can be found here.

The band will tour locally(ish) with O.A.R., hitting the following venues:

Aug. 5 - Wantagh – Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater

Aug. 6 – Bethel – Bethel Woods Center for the Arts – The Pavilion 

Aug. 8 – Saratoga Springs – SPAC

Aug. 16 – Syracuse – St. Joseph’s Health Amphitheater

Goo Goo Dolls will be partnering with Joe Torre Safe At Home for the tour, a nonprofit founded in 2002 by Ali and Joe Torre to provide healing and education services to youth who have been traumatized by exposure to violence including domestic violence, child abuse, teen dating abuse, and sexual assault to help break the cycle of violence.

The first album of their career to be produced by frontman John Rzeznik, “Chaos in Bloom” finds the band continuing to evolve just as they have for nearly four decades together. Consisting of 10 tracks including singles “Yeah, I Like You” and “You Are The Answer,” “Chaos in Bloom,” the band’s team said, “is an album of biting sarcasm, stadium-ready choruses, and the type of spear-sharp songwriting that’s led them to becoming one of the most influential alternative rock groups of all time.”
