Dave Matthews Band |
Dave Matthews Band announced today the dates for their 2006 summer tour. Thus far 49 concert appearances have been confirmed in 37 cities across the country. More dates will be added in the coming weeks. As it stands now, the tour begins on May 30th in Maryland Heights, Missouri at the UMB Bank Pavilion with dates confirmed through September 23rd when the band finishes up in their hometown of Charlottesville, VA at the John Paul Jones Arena. Most dates will go on sale to the general public on April 8th, but check the band's website for the most up to date on sale information (www.davematthewsband.com).
According to Pollstar magazine, with the exception of U2, DMB sold more tickets than any other touring act in the United States last year.
Highlights on this year's trek through the States include the band's second stand at New York City's Randall's Island, their annual three night appearance at the Gorge Amphitheatre outside of Seattle, WA, and the band's first ever performance at Hollywood's famed Hollywood Bowl. Openers on the dates will include Gov't Mule, O.A.R., G. Love & Special Sauce, and Matisyahu, with more being announced in the coming weeks.
The band will make an early tour stop in New Orleans returning to play the city's Jazz and Heritage Festival on Saturday, April 29th. Last year, the band spearheaded a fundraising effort highlighted by a special appearance at Denver's famed Red Rocks, where they raised more than $1.5 Million for Hurricane Katrina victims.
