American rockers Goo Goo Dolls announce first Aussie headline tour in more than 20 years in 2025

American rockers Goo Goo Dolls will return to Australia in 2025 for their first headline tour Down Under in more than 20 years.

Their East Coast-heavy schedule will include performances in Canberra, Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne, with no Perth shows announced.

However, the band has performed in WA as recently as this year, supporting Matchbox Twenty in February at RAC Arena.

In late October, a singular Aussie appearance was announced when Wollongong’s Yours and Owls Festival 2025 billing was made public — framing the band as drawcards alongside The Kooks, Denzel Curry, and Fontaines D.C.

Formed in 1986 by John Rzeznik, 58, and Robby Takac, 60, in their native New York City, the four-piece group is known for its string of generational tracks that continue to resonate with fans and critics alike.

Selling more than 15 million records worldwide, they’ve been recognised with four Grammy Award nominations.

Their classic Iris reached number one on the Australian charts in 1998, and has almost reached a staggering two billion Spotify listens.

Triple-platinum hit Slide and platinum-certified Black Balloon have also garnered mass appeal.

In February, the rockers dropped single Beautiful Lie, which followed their 2023 track release of Who’s Gonna Hear Their Wish?

Goo Goo Dolls boast roughly 25 albums of studio and live recordings across their almost 40-year history.

Tickets to their Australian tour will go on sale Monday November 11.
