John Rzeznik had the crowd in the palm of his hand on Wednesday night as The Goo Goo Dolls tore through a setlist full of their most beloved hits.
The band took the Wind Creek Steel Stage at Musikfest to heavy applause and the energy didn’t slow down from there, culminating in a soaring rendition of the smash hit “Iris” that had the crowd singing along. It was not dissimilar from 2019, when the band shared a co-headlining date with fellow 2023 headliner Train.
This time, though, The Goo Goo Dolls had the stage all to themselves, their third time headlining the festival (they were also a main stage performer in 2012), and they used it to fit in as many classics as they could, including “Black Balloon,” “Slide” and “Name.”
