Four-time Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum selling band Goo Goo Dolls have announced fifteen additional dates for their Summer 2022 North American tour.

The band has also announced today that they will be partnering with the Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation, 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. Fans can visit JoeTorre.org/GooGooDolls throughout the tour for exciting opportunities to join the Goo Goo Dolls in supporting Safe At Home.
This announcement comes off the heels of the release of the deluxe version of their first-ever Christmas album, Itâs Christmas All Over. Released on November 5th via Warner Records, the twelve-song LP, features the brand new original track âOne Last Song About Christmasâ and a never-before-heard cover of âIâve Got My Love To Keep Me Warm,â a holiday staple that was made famous by Dean Martin. Stream Itâs Christmas All Over [Deluxe Edition] via all digital streaming platforms now HERE.
Earlier this year, the band released a brand new compilation album, Rarities, a retrospective collection of 20 songs spanning more than a decade of their career. Containing songs that span 1995 to 2007, Rarities explores a prolific period during which the band released several chart-topping hits, ascended to mainstream stardom and cemented their footing as one of the most influential rock bands in recent memory. The double LP features numerous tracks never before released on digital streaming platforms or any physical format, including b-sides, live songs, acoustic renditions, radio performances, international releases and additional non-album tracks.
The band is currently in the studio recording their highly anticipated thirteenth LP.
