Goo Goo Dolls will headline the annual Rob Machado Foundation benefit concert for a third time

Melodic rockers Goo Goo Dolls spent much of this summer on tour with Daughtry, and now that the trail of shows has ended, the Goos are adding new tour dates to their schedule. For a third consecutive year, the guys have announced they will perform at the Rob Machado Foundation’s annual benefit show this November.

The two-evening concert will take place Nov. 10 and 11 at San Diego’s Belly Up club, and the Goo Goo Dolls will headline the second night. Tickets for the show are currently available via the Belly Up website, and VIP packages are also for sale that include a meet-and-greet with the band.

The Rob Machado Foundation, named after champion surfer Rob Machado, helps charities dedicated to environmental programs worldwide, especially programs that teach children about the how environmental issues impact the planet.

Goo Goo Dolls bass player Robby Takac recently chatted with Audio Ink Radio about his musical approach to writing songs with the Goos. “We grew up playing punk rock music, and I’ve always thought that keeping things simple and to the point is an important thing when it comes to making music,” Takac said. “I like to stay out of the way and make the most out of every note I do play.”
