This tour follows the release of their newest album, 'Chaos In Bloom', and comes after almost 40 years of success and a massive US tour. Fans across the country can experience the magic of Goo Goo Dolls in three iconic locations, each offering a unique and memorable concert experience.
The tour kicks off at Cape Town's Kirstenbosch Gardens on December 4th, followed by a concert at Durban's prestigious ICC Durban on December 5th. The tour culminates in a monumental finale at Pretoria's historic Voortrekker Monument on December 7th.
“We’re so proud to finally be able to announce our South African tour,” says John Rzeznik. “It’s going to be three amazing nights of great music for everyone, so be there!”
After launching the tour in Cape Town, the band will then make their way to the vibrant city of Durban, where they will take the stage at the prestigious ICC Durban on December 5th. Fans will be delighted to hear that singer-songwriter Roan Ash will share the stage as special guest. Known for his unique blend of folk, blues, country, and rock, his songs 'If I Ever Saw Heaven' and 'Whiskey to My Soul', reached No.1 on South African radio stations.
Singer-songwriter Ross Learmonth has entered a new era in his career, allowing him to showcase his longevity as an artist and his true talent as a songwriter. Since his departure as frontman of rock group Prime Circle, Learmonth's singles ‘Wild’, ‘Screaming’, and ‘Young’ all went to number one across a variety of South African radio stations.
Platinum-selling singer/songwriter Matthew Mole made history with his debut album, 'The Home We Built', reaching #1 on iTunes SA, a first in South African music history. His second album, 'Run', also topped the iTunes charts, proving his consistent appeal. 'Ghost', his third album, won two South African Music Awards. His latest musical odyssey, 'Wake Up, It’s Morning', has already stirred up five-million Spotify streams in record time.
Hearing thousands of fans sing along to Goo Goo Dolls’ 'Iris' is a moment that transcends generations, making their concerts a must-see for any rock fan.
