All proceeds to benefit the Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation

Goo Goo Dolls will perform two nights of music with special guest Marc Roberge of O.A.R. at New York’s Beacon Theatre on November 9-10 to benefit Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation. Since partnering with the nonprofit in 2021, the band has been selling signed guitars at their shows to raise funds in order to support healing and educational services for youth affected by violence.

Tickets for both nights go on sale this Friday, August 8th, at 10 am local time.

Founded in 2002 by Ali and Joe Torre, Safe At Home provides healing and education services to adolescents 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.

Goo Goo Dolls have also embarked on their sold-out Summer Anthem Tour with Dashboard Confessional, which has sold over 300,000 tickets. The extensive run of summer tour dates will bring the band to nearly 50 iconic venues coast-to-coast, including stops at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, Morrison’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre, as well as a hometown show at Buffalo’s KeyBank Center. Most recently, the group performed two out-of-state area shows at Wantagh’s Northwell at Jones Beach Theater and Holmdel’s PNC Bank Arts Center.

On Friday, the group premiered their heartfelt track “Not Goodbye (Close My Eyes)” alongside an accompanying lyric video. Written by John Rzeznik and produced by Gregg Wattenberg (John Legend, Santana, Noah Kahan) and Grant Michaels (Weezer, Billy Idol, Jewel), “Not Goodbye (Close My Eyes)” reflects on the fading nature of life and the quiet clarity that comes with letting go. The new song will appear on the band’s Summer Anthem EP, which is set for release on August 22nd via Warner Records. Consisting of seven tracks, Summer Anthem is a precise, hard-hitting project, featuring the type of vivid lyricism that’s led the band to become one of the most influential alternative rock groups of all time.
