Formed in Buffalo, New York, in 1986, the Goo Goo Dolls grew from punk and alternative beginnings into one of pop rock's enduring bands. Fronted by vocalist and guitarist John Rzeznik alongside bassist and vocalist Robby Takac, the group found defining success with Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). Its signature songs include “Iris,” “Slide,” and “Black Balloon”; other favorites from the band's catalog include “Name,” “Here Is Gone,” and “Big Machine.”
The band has continued releasing music, including Chaos in Bloom (2022), while touring with a setlist that draws on both newer material and familiar hits. “Iris,” a song closely associated with the film City of Angels, has become a generations-spanning singalong. The Goo Goo Dolls' emotionally direct songwriting and energetic rock performances make their appearance a strong fit for an arena bill alongside Def Leppard and The Struts. No opening-act order or set times have been provided for this date.
Glendale's Westgate Entertainment District gives concertgoers dining and entertainment options within walking distance of the arena. Arriving early can leave time to explore the area before the show.
