The Goo Goo Dolls aim to release an EP, “Summer Anthem”, soon. And possibly a new album by the end of their Summer 2025 tour

In case you missed it, Robby Takac recently did an interview where he mentions the band’s plans for the next studio album.

Truth to be told, I find this information a bit ambiguous, at least from a marketing perspective. Anyhow, Robby says they plan to release an EP titled “Summer Anthem” (same name as the current Summer tour with Dashboard Confessional) produced by Gregg Wattenberg, and then would like to release a full length when the aforementioned tour is over.

Make of that what you will. Below is the whole section of the interview where all of the above is discussed:

AY: What have you got going on right now? What can fans look forward to?

Takac: We released a single a little while back called “Run All Night,” which is a pretty great song. That will be included on a long-running EP that we’re going to put out called Summer Anthem. It’s produced by Gregg Wattenberg, who has done a lot on the past few records we’ve done. We’ve been working on that in New York. We were supposed to take last year off, and it turned into anything but that. We ended up doing a lot of shows, man. It wasn’t consistent touring, but we were out almost every weekend through most of the year last year, so it was really busy for us, so we’ve been working diligently to get a couple singles out by the time the tour starts and, hopefully, have a whole album out by the time the tour’s finished.
