A multi-platinum-selling band is coming to the Stiefel Theatre in the fall.

Jane Gates, Stiefel Theatre executive director, announced today that Goo Goo Dolls are scheduled to perform in the Stiefel Theatre at 8 p.m. Nov. 11.

Tickets start at $59 and go on sale at noon on Aug. 19. Buy tickets online at www.stiefeltheatre.org, by telephone at 785-827-1998, or in person at the Stiefel Theatre box office. The Stiefel Theatre box office is open for phone or walk-up sales from noon-5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Following is information about the band from the official tour release.

GRAMMY® Award-nominated, multi-platinum-selling band Goo Goo Dolls have released their 13th studio album Chaos in Bloom via Warner Records, marking its release with the propulsive new song Going Crazy. The standout track harkens back to the band’s power-chord alt-rock sound, assisted by the analog-to-tape recording process and vintage amps and pedals they used while making the entire album. As the first record of their career to be produced by frontman John Rzeznik, Chaos in Bloom finds the band continuing to evolve artistically as they have in the last four decades together.

Formed by Rzeznik and Takac in Buffalo, N.Y., 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 four GRAMMY® Award nominations and nearly a dozen platinum and gold singles combined, and seized a page in the history books by achieving 16 number one and Top 10 hits. As a result, they hold the all-time radio record for “Most Top 10 Singles.”

Among a string of hits, Iris clutched No. 1 on the Hot 100 for 18 straight weeks and would be named “No. 1 Top 40 Song of the Last 20 Years.” On the heels of going viral on TikTok, the track recently achieved seven-times-platinum status and re-entered the Billboard charts, yet again proving the timelessness of Goo Goo Dolls’ illustrious catalog.
