The group’s Summer Anthem EP will be available on CD on October 24th
Following a transcendent performance at California’s Stagecoach Music Festival, Goo Goo Dolls release the live performance of their global hit “Iris.” Most recently, the “Song Of The Summer” peaked at No. 9 on Spotify’s Global Daily Chart, marking yet another chart position peak for the iconic track nearly 30 years after release.
On the heels of going viral on TikTok, the four-time Grammy-nominated track is now certified diamond and has accumulated over five billion streams to date worldwide, amassing over a billion streams in 2025 alone. The track continues to reach new audiences around the world and has been covered by the likes of Taylor Swift, Machine Gun Kelly, Phoebe Bridgers, and Maggie Rogers, yet again proving the timelessness and staying power of Goo Goo Dolls’ illustrious catalog.
In addition, the band’s Summer Anthem EP is set for CD release on October 24th via Warner Records. Consisting of seven tracks, including “Not Goodbye (Close My Eyes)” and “Nothing Lasts Forever,” 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.
On September 12th, the band wrapped their massively successful sold-out Summer Anthem Tour with Dashboard Confessional, which sold over 300,000 tickets. The extensive run of tour dates brought the band to nearly 50 iconic venues coast-to-coast. The band will also 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 to support healing and educational services for youth affected by violence.
