2013 Summer Tour

After the California Mid-State Fair announced their 2013 concert lineup, media outlet began to speculate of the joint tour between the two bands. They were later paired for the Ravinia Festival. Rob Thomas confirmed the outing on March 15, 2013, during an interview on 96.5 TIC FM. Thomas explained many summer tours are a "package deal" and feels it more fun to tour with others. He continued to say, "You are putting together that whole night of music from the minute people sit down. You want to have what is going to feel like a whole night that everybody is going to enjoy […] It's not going to be one band for one group of people, and one band for another".{{cite web |url=http://radioalice.cbslocal.com/2013/03/15/matchbox-twenty-confirms-joint-tour-with-the-goo-goo-dolls/ |title=Matchbox Twenty Confirms Joint Tour With The Goo Goo Dolls|author= |date=15 March 2013 |work=KLLC |publisher=CBS Radio |accessdate=1 April 2013|archiveurl=http://www.freezepage.com/1364809559ANEAFQRBYU?url=http://radioalice.cbslocal.com/2013/03/15/matchbox-twenty-confirms-joint-tour-with-the-goo-goo-dolls/ |archivedate=1 April 2013}}

He writes, "Their musicianship was solid, if not spectacular, songwriter Johnny Rzeznik, relied more on the strength of the songs than their reliance on technology".{{cite web |url=https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/music/2013/06/28/the_goo_goo_dolls_and_matchbox_twenty_know_how_to_please_concert_review.html|title=The Goo Goo Dolls and Matchbox Twenty know how to please: concert review|author=Krewen, Nick |date=28 June 2013 |work=Toronto Star |accessdate=5 July 2013|archiveurl=http://www.freezepage.com/1373006140ZRHOWJTGOW?url=http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/music/2013/06/28/the_goo_goo_dolls_and_matchbox_twenty_know_how_to_please_concert_review.html |archivedate=5 July 2013}} Katie Foglia (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) called the show at the First Niagara Pavilion overwhelming. She explained, "After the sun faded, an introductory video hit the screens.
