TD Coliseum
The Goo Goo Dolls come to TD Coliseum on April 2nd, 2026, with special guests Dashboard Confessional adding fuel to the fire! These two acts aren’t just putting on a show, they’re taking you back to the late ‘90s and early 2000s when heartfelt words were married to guitar-driven insanity.
John Rzeznik belting out "Iris" that iconic earworm from City of Angels, and having the crowd singing along as if it was written yesterday, followed by Chris Carrabba unleashing the emotional fire on "Hands Down". The Dolls will bring songs, like "Slide", "Name", and "Black Balloon," while Dashboard will dive into tracks, "Vindicated" and "Screaming Infidelities".

Their Canadian tour kicks off on March 19th in Victoria, British Columbia, at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre and makes stops in Abbotsford, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, and Winnipeg before heading to Ontario. Hamilton’s TD Coliseum is scheduled for April 2nd and is perfectly situated between the London, ON (April 4), Ottawa, ON (April 6), Laval, QC (April 8), and dual Atlantic shows in Halifax, NS (April 10), and Moncton, NB (April 11). The Dolls haven’t toured across Canada exclusively since 2023 and will include new material from Chaos in Bloom (2022) as well as their classic hits. Dashboard is fresh off a run supporting the Lumineers in Australia which was a whole new level of intimacy, think over 20 tracks played in less than two hours and pure catharsis. Across over 15 cities, countless emotions will fill the air, your spring soundtrack begins here.
Formed in Buffalo, NY in 1985 as the Sex Maggots, the Goo Goo Dolls (John Rzeznik on lead vocals/guitar and Robby Takac on bass) evolved into one of the world’s premier alt-rock bands. A Boy Named Goo (1995) opened the door for the Dolls with "Name", however Dizzy Up the Girl (1998) threw open those doors with “Iris”, now diamond certified with over 1.5 billion views on YouTube. "Slide" reached #1 on the Modern Rock chart, and their 15 million album sales led to several Grammy nominations. They’ve gone from dingy bars to massive stadiums and continue to be the voice of the voiceless.
Dashboard Confessional began as Chris Carrabba's 1999 bedroom project in Boca Raton FL and eventually became the backbone of emo evangelism. After leaving Further Seems Forever (a post-hardcore band he had been part of), Swiss Army Romance, The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most (2001) exploded onto the MTV Unplugged scene via "Hands Down" (over 200M+ views) and Spider-Man 2's "Vindicated". Dusk and Summer (2006) would go on to sell platinum and cement Chris’ reputation as a songwriter who continues to provide therapeutic, head-bang worthy honesty.
Opened in 1985 as Copps Coliseum and renamed to TD Coliseum in 2017, this Hamilton landmark is home to 18,000 concertgoers offering great sight lines and a history of hosting huge artists like, Elton John and Shania Twain.
