Good Charlotte is an American pop-punk band from Waldorf, Maryland, built around twin brothers Joel Madden (vocals) and Benji Madden (guitar), alongside Paul Thomas, Billy Martin and Dean Butterworth. Their 2002 album The Young and the Hopeless - driven by 'The Anthem' and 'Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous' - sold nearly five million copies worldwide and made them one of the defining acts of the early-2000s rock revival. After a seven-year gap they returned in August 2025 with their eighth studio album Motel Du Cap, released on Atlantic Records to widespread critical praise.
Good Charlotte announced a EU and UK arena tour for November 2026, with Yellowcard as support, kicking off in Stockholm on November 8.
Good Charlotte and Avenged Sevenfold announced a 17-city co-headlining North American tour for summer 2026, their first North American tour since 2018.
Good Charlotte released their eighth studio album Motel Du Cap on August 8, 2025 via Atlantic Records - their first new album in seven years.
To promote Motel Du Cap, Good Charlotte performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Kelly Clarkson Show and Good Morning America.
Good Charlotte released 'Rejects', their first new song in five years, as the lead single from Motel Du Cap on June 25, 2025.
