The Goo Goo Dolls Are Coming Back To Bangor

CONCERT ALERT: The '90s icons are set to return to the Maine Savings Amphitheater!

The only thing that makes an upcoming Maine winter bearable, is when Bangor summer concert announcements come at you at a rapid fire pace.

The upcoming roster of shows is just starting, and now you can add another one to the list.

The Goo Goo Dolls ruled the charts in the mid-'90s with songs including "Iris," "Name" and "Slide." And now, they are bringing their 2025 tour here, on the Bangor Waterfront, at the Maine Savings Amphitheatre, on Tuesday, August 5th, along with special guests, indie pop legends, Dashboard Confessional.

This isn't the first time the Goo Dolls have been to Bangor. Back in 2019, they opened for Train, and I have to say, I was there, and they put on a fantastic show.

You may also remember that they put on a great show, just a few months ago, back on September 29th, when they hit the stage with opening act, Fitz & The Tantrums.

The band has had 19 top-ten singles on various charts, has sold 15 million records worldwide, and has been nominated for four Grammy Awards.

NERD MOMENT: I remember the episode of Beverly Hills 90210, where it was Steve Sanders's 21st birthday, and Goo Goo Dolls played his party on a cruise ship! Then his girlfriend Claire dumped him. Oops!

Of course, I also remember all the hits they racked up during that time. "Black Balloon" is my personal favorite.

Tickets go on sale on Friday, November 22nd, at 10 am at the Waterfront Concerts website
