Having witnessed the incredible show that Goo Goo Dolls deliver on stage when they toured with Matchbox 20, I couldn’t book them to return to our shores soon enough. Their brilliant back-catalogue of pop-rock hits are the perfect blend of nostalgia-inducing and hope-inspiring. For fans young and old – I believe this will be the feel-good tour of the summer.
