GOO Goo Dolls are heading back to the UK again this summer.

Not content with two sell out tours of the UK in the last 12 months, the band will be playing at T in the Park, Oxegen Festival, and the V Festival, as well as more of their own headline shows.

Goo Goo Dolls recently celebrated their 20th anniversary, and over 7 million sales, with the release of their eighth album, Let Love In.

The band have also just had their 12th top 10 single in a row in the US.

Since forming in New York in 1986, the Goo Goo Dolls have evolved from a punk influenced trio into the platinum selling, chart topping act behind such massive hits as "Name", "Iris", "Slide" and "Here Is Gone".

They play the Manchester Apollo on Wednesday July 11. Tickets cost £17.50 and are available by ringing 0871 2200 260 or online from www.gigsandtours.com
