Formed in Buffalo in 1986, the Goo Goo Dolls grew from punk and alternative roots into one of pop rock's most enduring bands. Frontman and guitarist John Rzeznik and bassist and vocalist Robby Takac have led the group through a career spanning more than a dozen studio albums. Their landmark 1998 release, Dizzy Up the Girl, introduced signature hits including “Iris,” “Slide” and “Black Balloon.” “Iris” became a defining song for generations of listeners and is often a powerful communal moment at the band's live shows.

The band's more recent releases include Chaos in Bloom (2022), alongside earlier favorites such as “Name,” “Here Is Gone” and “Big Machine.” Their performances blend melodic rock, emotionally direct songwriting and familiar singalongs. For this Washington date, the listed lineup includes Def Leppard and The Struts; set times and each act's performance details may vary.

Capital One Arena is in downtown Washington, placing the concert within reach of the city's Metro network, restaurants and hotels. Because the venue is in a busy central district, allow extra time to travel, enter the arena and find your seats. Prices currently start around $120 and may exceed $500, depending on availability, seat location and demand.

Venue and Seating Information

Capital One Arena hosts major concerts in an indoor arena setting, with seating configurations that can change according to the event's stage layout. Check the event's seating map before purchasing, as stage position and production equipment can affect sightlines and available sections.

Lower-level seats can offer a closer view of the performers, while elevated sections provide a broader perspective on the full stage and production. For a multi-act concert, consider your preferred balance of proximity, overall view and budget rather than assuming one section is best for every configuration.

Parking Information

Parking is available in downtown garages and lots near the arena, but space and rates can vary by date and demand. Compare options in advance, confirm the garage's event-day rules, and leave time for traffic and pedestrian congestion around the venue.

Consider a nearby garage for convenience, checking its address, hours and event pricing before booking.

Washington Metro can be a practical alternative to driving into the busy downtown area; verify service schedules for your return trip.
