"The band, fronted by Johnny Rzeznik, brought four songs from across their career to the NPR headquarters - including two of their most successful singles. They open with beloved Dizzy Up the Girl track "Slide," followed by a rendition of "Feel the Silence" from their 2006 record Let Love In. They continued with a performance of "Not Goodbye (Close Your Eyes)," a song that appears on their recently-released Summer Anthem EP. As expected, they concluded their set with their ubiquitous, diamond-certified hit "Iris.""
""I'm a little nervous," Rzeznik told the closely-seated audience before playing "Not Goodbye (Close Your Eyes)." "Because we could all be on a first name basis... This is intimidating!" Ahead of launching into "Iris," Rzeznik also encouraged the audience to sing along with him: "I know this is public radio, it's really cool ... but if you want to sing along, you can.""
Goo Goo Dolls performed a four-song Tiny Desk Concert at NPR, opening with "Slide" and including "Feel the Silence," "Not Goodbye (Close Your Eyes)" and closing with "Iris." Johnny Rzeznik expressed nervousness to the closely-seated audience and invited listeners to sing along during "Iris." "Not Goodbye" appears on the recently released Summer Anthem EP. The band confirmed a 2026 residency at the Venetian Theater in Las Vegas spanning five mid-May dates. Ticket presales begin with a Live Nation presale on Thursday, November 20 at 10:00 a.m. PT, with general public tickets available Friday, November 21 at 10:00 a.m. PT via Ticketmaster.
