A Buffalo band for Thanksgiving

The Goo Goo Dolls, formed in Buffalo in 1986 by John Rzeznik and Robby Takac, will headline halftime when the Bills host the Chiefs on Thanksgiving night, Thursday, November 26, at the new Highmark Stadium. It is the first Thanksgiving game Buffalo has ever hosted. Kickoff is at 8:20 p.m. ET.

Light-up bracelets for every seat

The show will be on the Bills Legends Deck and visible from all over the stadium. Every fan will get a light-up bracelet that flashes in synchronized patterns, so the crowd becomes part of the show. “The most Buffalo halftime show is happening at Highmark Stadium on Thanksgiving,” the Bills wrote.

Already home that week

The band plays two sold-out benefit shows at Buffalo’s Town Ballroom on November 20 and 21 for the food bank FeedMore Western New York. The Goo Goo Dolls have sold 15 million records, and “Iris,” first released in 1998, has passed 6 billion streams.
