Toad The Wet Sprocket is hitting the road again this summer with their 2025 Good Intentions U.S. headlining tour, a 26-date run celebrating their enduring legacy of melodic alt-rock and introspective songwriting. The tour kicks off July 17 in San Diego and wraps up August 23 in Charlotte, NC, with support from Semisonic, KT Tunstall and Sixpence None The Richer joining in select cities.
The tour name nods to the band's 1995 single "Good Intentions," featured on their b-sides collection In Light Syrup and famously included on the platinum-selling Friends TV soundtrack. The track remains a fan favorite and a regular in the band's live setlists.
"We were young and it was us against the record company," guitarist Todd Nichols said, reflecting on the band's early DIY spirit. That independent ethos, paired with their emotionally resonant music, helped cultivate a devoted fan base over the decades.
"It's almost like having family in the audience every night," added bassist Dean Dinning.
Known for hits like "Walk on the Ocean," "All I Want," and "Fall Down," the Santa Barbara-based band first rose to prominence in the early '90s with the release of their platinum albums fear (1991) and Dulcinea (1994). Singer Glen Phillips said the music continues to connect with fans across generations: "When we play 'The Moment' or 'Transient Whales' now, there's a huge percentage of the audience who know every word of those songs, too."
As part of their ongoing commitment to giving back, the band will partner with the National Parks Foundation throughout the tour to raise awareness for environmental protection and conservation.
VIP packages and new Good Intentions merchandise will be available this week at Toad The Wet Sprocket Online.
