Goo Goo Dolls will continue to take their lauded live show back on the road in 2026 with a run of Canadian tour dates with Dashboard Confessional. 

The band’s striking Tiny Desk performance with NPR Music is out now. The four song set features performances of their global hit “Iris,” 3x Platinum track “Slide,“ “Feel The Silence” and “Not Goodbye (Close My Eyes),” which appears on their new Summer Anthem EP. In conjunction, "Iris" hit #9 on Spotify's Daily Top Songs Chart in Canada and peaked at #9 on Spotify’s Global Daily Chart, marking yet another chart position peak for the iconic track nearly 30 years after release. 

On the heels of going viral on TikTok, “Iris” is now Certified Diamond and accumulated over 5 billion streams to date worldwide, amassing over a billion streams in 2025 alone. The 4x GRAMMY-nominated track continues to reach new audiences around the world and has been covered by the likes of Taylor Swift, Machine Gun Kelly, Phoebe Bridgers and Maggie Rogers, yet again proving the timelessness and staying power of Goo Goo Dolls’ illustrious catalog.

Formed by John Rzeznik and Robby Takac in Buffalo, NY during 1986, Goo Goo Dolls have quietly broken records, contributed a string of staples to the American songbook, connected to millions of fans and indelibly impacted popular music for three-plus decades. Beyond selling 15 million records worldwide, the group has garnered 4x GRAMMY-nominations and nearly a dozen platinum and gold singles combined and seized a page in the history books by achieving 15 #1 and Top 10 hits. As a result, they hold the all-time radio record for “Most Top 10 Singles.” 

Thus far, A Boy Named Goo (1995) has gone 2x Certified Platinum, Dizzy Up The Girl (1998) 5x Certified Platinum and Gutterflower (2002) and Let Love In (2006) are both Certified Gold. In addition, Something for the Rest of Us (2010) and Magnetic (2013) bowed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200. In addition, the band’s Summer Anthem EP is out now via Warner Records. Consisting of 7 tracks, Summer Anthem is a precise, hard-hitting project, featuring the type of vivid lyricism that’s led the band to becoming one of the most influential alternative rock groups of all time.

Two decades after its release, one of Sam Roberts Band’s most influential albums is returning to the spotlight. For five nights only, award-winning and double-platinum certified rock heavyweights Sam Roberts Band will bring Chemical City back to the stage in celebration of its 20th anniversary. With coast-to-coast stops in Halifax, Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton and Montréal, this limited run will see the band performing the record in full, creating an evening of music fans will not want to miss. 

Originally released in 2006 and certified-platinum, Chemical City has sold over 100,000 units and remains a defining moment for the band. Its release reshaped their sound and cemented their place as Canada’s favourite rock band, a title they continue to hold to this day. Delivering fan-favourite hits “The Gate,” “Bridge To Nowhere” and “With a Bullet,” the collection of songs became an essential chapter in Sam Roberts Band’s story and one that fans continue to return to. 

“When we wrote Chemical City, we didn’t know how deeply it would resonate or how far it would take us,” said Sam Roberts. “It captured a moment in our lives that still feels alive when we play these songs. Twenty years later, revisiting the album from start to finish feels like the right way to recognize just how much it shaped the path we’re on.” 

To mark this milestone, the band is also giving ticket holders the opportunity to get their hands on something truly special: the Chemical City Redux 20th Anniversary 2LP. Available exclusively via pre-order, the collector’s item will be pressed on pink vinyl and limited to just 300 copies. The release features bonus tracks “Fall Before You Finish,” “Major Minor,” “The Cathedral” and “Step Inside,” offering a deeper dive into the era that shaped the album.

Florence + the Machine’s forthcoming sixth album, Everybody Scream is set for release on 31st October.

Florence wrote and produced Everybody Scream with a close-knit circle of collaborators including Mark Bowen of IDLES—who appears in the video for “Everybody Scream,” Aaron Dessner and Mitski.

After needing lifesaving surgery on the Dance Fever tour, Florence’s recovery took her down the path of spiritual mysticism, witchcraft and folk horror as she felt the limits of her body and explored what it means to be “healed.” The album treads through womanhood, partnership, aging and dying; exposing the murky in the mundane.

Across five albums—2009’s Lungs, 2011’s Ceremonials, 2015’s How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, 2018’s High As Hope and 2022’s Dance Fever—Florence has become one of the most monumental artists of a generation, with multiple U.S. and U.K. #1 albums and countless awards. Known for her earth-shattering live show and singular, iconic voice, Florence has sold out shows and headlined festivals the entire world over. She has collaborated and shared stages with icons—The Rolling Stones, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift among them—and published a book of lyrics, poetry and drawings, Useless Magic.
