Goo Goo Dolls Announce ‘Let Love In’ 20th Anniversary Edition, Set July 24 Release and Summer Tour with Neon Trees
Two decades on, Goo Goo Dolls are cracking open the vault. The Buffalo-bred rock institution will release Let Love In (20th Anniversary Edition) on July 24 via Warner Records, giving the Gold-certified 2006 album a long-overdue victory lap — and reminding everyone exactly why these songs have refused to leave the radio.
Originally peaking at #9 on the Billboard 200, Let Love In was the band’s softer-edged, more introspective pivot, home to enduring singles like “Stay With You,” “Better Days” and the title track. The expanded edition stretches the original record into a 21-track set, pairing the studio album with 10 newly issued “Live and Intimate” recordings captured during a special session at the legendary Capitol Studios. Stripped down, close-miked and unmistakably them, the live set revisits “Better Days,” “Stay With You,” “Let Love In,” “Feel The Silence” and more.
To kick things off, the band has shared “Better Days (Live and Intimate)” alongside a freshly 4K-remastered version of the song’s original music video — the kind of glow-up that hits like a holiday card from your favorite uncle band.

A quick note for the vinyl crowd: the 20th Anniversary LP is pressed on red eye vinyl and includes a 12-page lyric booklet, but does not contain the Live and Intimate session — those tracks live exclusively on the 2xCD and digital editions.
The reissue arrives at a wildly opportune moment. The band’s Diamond-certified juggernaut “Iris” has been having an honest-to-goodness cultural moment thanks to the “Mom/Dad, what were you like in the 90s?” trend, which has piled up more than 7 billion views and pulled in everyone from Will Smith and Serena Williams to Dwayne Johnson, Reese Witherspoon, Snoop Dogg, SZA, Aerosmith and Backstreet Boys. The 4x GRAMMY-nominated track has now passed 5.7 billion streams worldwide, including over 1 billion in 2025 alone — not bad for a song that turns 28 this year.
On top of all that, Goo Goo Dolls are taking it back to the stage. After a five-night May residency at The Venetian Theatre in Las Vegas, the band launches an extensive U.S. run with Neon Trees on — fittingly — July 24. The tour rolls through Mystic Lake Amphitheater in Minneapolis, BMO Pavilion in Milwaukee, Rose Music Center in Cincinnati, The Pavilion at Star Lake in Pittsburgh, Credit One Stadium in Charleston, Allianz Amphitheatre at Riverfront in Richmond, and a long list of summer sheds in between, before wrapping with festival stops at Sea.Hear.Now and Oceans Calling in September.
Pre-orders for Let Love In (20th Anniversary Edition) are open now, and tickets for the full tour are on sale. Whether you’re a day-one fan or you just discovered “Iris” via a slow-mo Instagram montage, this is a pretty good summer to be paying attention to Goo Goo Dolls.
