Goo Goo Dolls debut a cover of INXS’ “Don’t Change,” which was recorded semi-acoustically for the radio show Modern Rock Live Los Angeles in 1996. This rendition will appear as a bonus track on the band’s 30th Anniversary reissue of their fifth studio album, A Boy Named Goo.
The deluxe edition is set for release exactly 30 years to the day on March 14.
Listen to/share “Don’t Change (Modern Rock Live Los Angeles)” HERE and pre-order the 30th Anniversary deluxe edition HERE.
Originally released in 1995, A Boy Named Goo went 2x Platinum within a year of its release. Driven by the smash hit “Name,” the record also included the singles “Flat Top,” “Naked,” “Only One” and “Long Way Down.”
The 24-track, deluxe 2xLP format will include the original album, plus an unreleased live concert performance recorded in Las Vegas on March 10, 1996. The 2xCD deluxe edition contains 34 tracks and includes the live concert, plus 4 B-sides from the era and 6 songs recorded for Modern Rock Live. There is also a limited 2xLP edition pressed on sea blue vinyl available exclusively via the band’s webstore.
In addition, the band has an extensive run of summer tour dates with Dashboard Confessional. Kicking off on July 13, the “Summer Anthem Tour 2025” will bring the band to venues from coast-to-coast. Full tour routing can be found below while tickets can be purchased at googoodolls.com/tour.
The band will perform a career-encompassing set that features multiple songs from their 2022 album Chaos in Bloom along with other hits from their complete discography, including their global hit “Iris.” The 4x GRAMMY-nominated track is now Certified Diamond and has amassed over 2 billion streams worldwide.
Goo Goo Dolls will be partnering with Joe Torre Safe At Home for the tour, a nonprofit founded in 2002 by Ali and Joe Torre to provide healing and education services to youth who have been traumatized by exposure to violence including domestic violence, child abuse, teen dating abuse and sexual assault to help break the cycle of violence.
The band is currently in the studio working on their 15th studio album.
