Goo Goo Dolls with Neon Trees: Summer's Biggest Throwback Concert in Greenville

There is something magical about an outdoor summer concert, especially when the setlist is packed with the anthems of a generation. If you grew up in the late '90s or early 2000s, the acoustic strumming of "Iris" or the infectious energy of "Slide" probably holds a permanent spot in your memory. This summer, those memories are coming to life right here in the Upstate.

The Goo Goo Dolls are hitting the road for their Summer 2026 Tour, and they are bringing the high-octane energy of Neon Trees along for the ride. On Sunday, August 30, 2026, the CCNB Amphitheatre at Heritage Park in Simpsonville (just a short drive from our front doors at the Sleep Inn® at Greenville Convention Center) will host what is shaping up to be the biggest throwback event of the season.

Whether you are a local fan or traveling into town for the show, here is everything you need to know to make your concert weekend absolutely perfect.

The Show: A Night of Hits and High Energy

The Goo Goo Dolls have a knack for writing songs that feel like home. With four decades of music under their belts, John Rzeznik and Robby Takac haven't lost a beat. Their live performances are legendary for being both intimate and grand, blending soulful ballads with driving rock tracks. Fans can expect to hear all the heavy hitters, including:

• "Iris" – The record-breaking ballad that defined an era.

• "Slide" – The ultimate sing-along summer anthem.

• "Name" – A beautiful throwback to their breakout years.

• "Black Balloon" – A moody, atmospheric favorite.

Adding to the excitement is special guest Neon Trees. Known for their massive hits like "Animal" and "Everybody Talks," Tyler Glenn and the band bring a neon-soaked, pop-rock energy that is the perfect appetizer for the night’s headliners. It’s a double bill that promises non-stop hits from start to finish.

The Venue: CCNB Amphitheatre at Heritage Park

Located at 861 SE Main St., Simpsonville, SC 29681, the CCNB Amphitheatre is one of the premier outdoor music spots in South Carolina. It offers a fantastic mix of reserved seating and a spacious lawn area, perfect for spreading out a blanket and enjoying the cool evening air.

The show kicks off at 7:30 PM, and with the sun setting over the park, there isn't a bad seat in the house. Since this is an outdoor venue, we always recommend checking the weather and arriving early to navigate parking and grab your favorite concert snacks.
