Goo Goo Dolls at Abbotsford Centre Tickets

Canada Sping Tour 2026

Kicking off the Canadian leg on March 19 at Calgary's Scotiabank Saddledome, this 12-date sprint heats up with stops in Edmonton, Vancouver, and beyond, wrapping up in Halifax by late April. It's the Goo Goo Dolls' first full Canadian run since their 2023 cross-country jaunt, and pairing up with Dashboard Confessional? Genius. Fresh off their Las Vegas residency tease in May and a killer New Year's Rockin' Eve slot on ABC in 2026, the Dolls are bringing high-energy sets loaded with classics and cuts from their 2022 self-produced gem Chaos in Bloom. Dashboard, meanwhile, joins after wrapping support dates with The Lumineers Down Under, expect them to pour out the soul from their latest, AwolNation-infused tracks. Over 15 cities, 20+ hits, and zero filler: this tour's your ticket to reliving the glory days while discovering why these bands still slay live.

Goo Goo Dolls

Born in the gritty punk dives of Buffalo, New York, in 1985, the Goo Goo Dolls, John Rzeznik on guitar and vocals, Robby Takac on bass, started as the Sex Maggots before flipping the script to alt-rock royalty. Their 1995 breakthrough, A Boy Named Goo, cracked the code with "Name," but 1998's Dizzy Up the Girl exploded globally thanks to "Iris" from the City of Angels soundtrack, it's since racked up diamond status and over 1.5 billion streams. Add multi-platinum smashes like "Slide" (No. 1 on Modern Rock) and "Better Days," and you've got a catalog that's sold 15 million albums worldwide. Grammy nods, endless tours, and that unbreakable Buffalo grit? They're the soundtrack to your first heartbreak, and your triumphant comeback.

Dashboard Confessional

From Boca Raton's emo underground in 1999, Chris Carrabba turned solo acoustic confessions into a movement with Dashboard Confessional. Kicking off with The Swiss Army Romance, he ditched his post-hardcore band Further Seems Forever to chase vulnerability, hitting paydirt with 2001's The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most and the MTV Unplugged breakout. Tracks like "Hands Down" (over 200 million streams) and "Vindicated" (from Spider-Man 2) became anthems for angsty souls, while Dusk and Summer (2006) went platinum. With 10 million records moved, Carrabba's raw lyrics and full-band fury have soundtracked everything from Warped Tour mosh pits to quiet midnight drives. It's therapy you can headbang to.

Abbotsford Centre

Nestled in the Fraser Valley just 45 minutes from Vancouver, Abbotsford Centre is BC's premier 7,000-seat arena (expandable to 8,500 for epic nights like this), opened in 2009 with killer acoustics and skyline views. Home to the Abbotsford Canucks, it's hosted legends from Elton John to Shania Twain, plenty of parking via SpotHero from $10, and VIP lounges for that extra swagger. Easy access off Highway 1 makes it a no-brainer for a night out.
