Googol Dolls & Neon Trees | Ford Idaho Center

Two of alternative rock’s most beloved acts share the stage for a summer night under the stars in Nampa. Grammy-nominated and Buffalo-bred, the Goo Goo Dolls have spent nearly four decades turning heartfelt, anthemic songwriting into generation-spanning hits — from the Certified Diamond “Iris” to “Slide,” “Name,” “Black Balloon,” and “Better Days.” Frontman John Rzeznik and bassist Robby Takac still bring the same energy and sing-along magic that have made them a staple of summer tours, and their live show remains a celebration of the songs that have soundtracked countless lives.

Joining them as special guest is Neon Trees, the platinum-selling new-wave rockers behind irresistible radio staples like “Animal,” “Everybody Talks,” and “Sleeping with a Friend.” With their disco-tinged hooks and high-octane stage presence, they’re the perfect opener to get the crowd moving before the headliners take over.

Set against the open-air backdrop of the Ford Idaho Center Amphitheater, this is summer-concert energy at its finest — a spacious outdoor venue built for warm evenings, big choruses, and thousands of fans singing along together. Grab your seats or settle into the lawn, and make a night of it.
