Goo Goo Dolls announce ‘A Boy Named Goo’ 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition

The set will feature an unreleased live concert recorded in Las Vegas in 1996

Exactly 30 years to the day, multi-platinum, four-time Grammy-nominated rock band Goo Goo Dolls are set to release a 30th-anniversary deluxe edition of their fifth studio album, A Boy Named Goo, on March 14th. Originally released in 1995, this classic album catapulted the band to mainstream success and was certified double platinum within a year of its release. Driven by the smash hit “Name,” the record also included the singles “Flat Top,” “Naked,” “Only One” and “Long Way Down.”

The 24-track, deluxe double LP format will include the original album, plus an unreleased live concert performance recorded in Las Vegas on March 10, 1996. The 2 CD deluxe edition contains 34 tracks and includes the live concert, plus 4 B-sides from the era and six songs recorded semi-acoustically for the radio show Modern Rock Live in 1996. There is also a limited 2 LP edition pressed on sea blue vinyl available exclusively via the band’s website.

The band will take their lauded live show back on the road this year with an extensive run of summer tour dates with Dashboard Confessional. Kicking off on July 13th, the Summer Anthem Tour 2025 will bring the band to iconic venues coast-to-coast.

They will perform a career-encompassing set that features multiple songs from their 2022 album Chaos in Bloom along with other hits from their complete discography, including their global hit “Iris.” The quadruple Grammy-nominated track is now certified diamond with over two billion streams globally.

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.
