Track drops ahead of summer tour
Just ahead of their highly anticipated nationwide summer tour, multi-Platinum, four-time Grammy-nominated rock band Goo Goo Dolls have debuted their new single “Run All Night.” Their first original song since the release of their 2022 album Chaos in Bloom, the track begins a somber piano line that slowburns into an uplifting, foot-stomping ballad. “I killed my father’s name before it killed me,” reflects frontman John Rzeznik, as he traces the map of his life and the destinations yet to be experienced.
“Run All Night is about escaping from your circumstances, and finding hope in the wild unknown of the night,” adds Rzeznik about the song.
The new track arrives ahead of Goo Goo Dolls’ The Big Night Out Tour, which officially kicks off July 24th with special supporting guests O.A.R. The two groups recently teamed up for a new cover version of Tom Petty’s song “I Won’t Back Down.” A soaring collision of two alt-rock linchpins, Goo Goo Dolls and Marc Roberge of O.A.R. will perform the song live on Good Morning America on Thursday, July 13th, followed by the band’s debut television performance of “Run All Night” on GMA3 that same day.
The Big Night Out Tour features O.A.R. as the special guests throughout the entire first leg, with Fitz and the Tantrums supporting on the second leg this September. Traversing through major outdoor venues coast-to-coast, the North American run will see Goo Goo Dolls delivering career-encompassing sets that feature songs from their album Chaos in Bloom, along with other hits from their complete discography including the indelible hit “Iris,” which eclipsed one billion streams on Spotify last year. The band 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.
