The Goo Goo Dolls Play Tampa’s MIDFLORIDA Amphitheatre This August

The Goo Goo Dolls bring their Summer 2026 tour to Tampa on Monday, August 24, with synth-pop band Neon Trees opening, at MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre on the Florida State Fairgrounds — confirmed directly on the show’s Live Nation listing, which lists a 7:30 p.m. show time.

It’s one of several big outdoor shows landing at the amphitheatre this August, sandwiched between John Mellencamp on August 3 and Mötley Crüe’s return on August 15, but the Goo Goo Dolls’ stop is built for singing along outdoors on a summer night rather than a mosh pit. Frontman John Rzeznik and bassist Robby Takac have been playing together since 1986, and the band is still touring off a catalog that includes “Name,” “Slide,” and “Iris” — songs that have been staples of alt-rock radio, and by now, three-plus decades of live shows.

MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre is the county fairgrounds’ outdoor venue, a covered-pavilion-plus-lawn setup off US-301 in eastern Hillsborough County, a little removed from downtown but with the expansive parking that comes with sitting on fairgrounds property. Tickets are on general sale now through Ticketmaster and Live Nation, with secondary marketplaces also carrying the show if the primary allocation sells out first — worth comparing before you buy, since resale pricing on a show like this can move quickly.

Good to know: MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre is at 4802 US Highway 301 N, Tampa. Doors typically open well before the listed set time — check your ticket for the exact time — and bring a card, not just cash, for concessions and parking at most Hillsborough County venues.
