B.C. fans will soon have the chance to go gaga over the Goo Goo Dolls, with the band recently announcing a string of Canadian shows next year, including a stop right here in Victoria.
Most people will know the pop-rock band for their international hit 1998 song "Iris", which earned them three Grammy nominations and multiple other award nominations.
That nostalgic sound will be making its way across Canada in the spring of 2026, with the American duo and their touring band members stopping off at a total of 15 cities north of the border.
Three of these shows will be in B.C., with the full list of Canadian stops including:
While the band will be playing their mega hits, they'll also have plenty of newer music to share with the audience, including tracks from their "Summer Anthem" EP, which was released back in August.
Joining the Goo Goo Dolls on this tour is Dashboard Confessional, who are best known for their early 2000s hits "Vindicated" and "Hands Down".
