Goo Goo Dolls show to benefit Griffith Park fire recovery
The Goo Goo Dolls have announced plans to play a concert in Los Angeles to raise money for Los Angeles' Griffith Park, which was severely damaged by a huge fire this spring.
The band has rescheduled its originally planned June 19 show in Los Angeles to Sept. 6 to clear room for the benefit gig, which is part of a series of benefit shows that are planned to aid the Griffith Park Recovery Fund, created to restore the urban park. The park, the largest of its kind in the country, suffered more than 800 acres of fire damage in the early May blaze.
The group is currently in the middle of its summer tour, which runs through early September. The band's US schedule is included in full below.
The Goo Goo Dolls continue to support their eighth studio album, "Let Love In," which was released a year ago. The set, produced by Glen Ballard, has scored several hit songs, including "Stay With You" and the title track, which are streaming at the band's MySpace page.
In February, a special edition of the album was released that includes a DVD with live performances, music videos and acoustic versions of the songs "Better Days" and "We'll Be Here (When You're Gone)."
