Dave Matthews Band (DMB) is now one of the most successful live music bands and they are well-loved for their incredible impromptu performances. Originating from the early 90s, DMB has been touring almost annually, a factor that has been well appreciated by their fans. Well, when are they touring in the subsequent years? Let's take a look.
DMB’s Tour and Residency in 2022 DMB remained relatively inactive in the last few years because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but they were back on the road in 2022. Their busy tour schedule in 2022 had more than 40 shows between May and September. This included multiple night residency shows at the famed Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington, two nights at the Hollywood Bowl, as well as Summer festival headline slots such as at Bonnaroo.
Apart from their traditional summer tour, DMB also included a series of headline shows in early 2022. They gave nine performances in total on five different days at the new MSG Sphere arena in Las Vegas. These concerts were described as residency shows, suggesting that DMB might perform comparable brief residencies between future tours.
Prospects Touring Schedules for 2023 DMB has not revealed any intentions for a tour in 2023 so far. Still, the band will probably go on tour the next year as they have been playing live every summer.
Analyzing past travel years helps one to better understand what 2023 could hold. Past patterns suggest that DMB would probably lead a classic summer tour of 30 to 50 gigs at amphitheaters and festivals throughout North America. It most certainly starts in May or June and runs through August or the first half of September.
From past summer travel, Atlanta, Chicago, Boston, New York, Toronto, Denver, Dallas, Los Angeles, and so on might be some of the likely sites for a 2023 touring campaign. Going back to the Gorge Amphitheatre and the other locations that have long been a mainstay of a Dave Matthews Band summer tour also sounds reasonable.
Later in the first months of the new year, the band may confirm these anticipated travel schedules. Sometimes dates show up in the public domain by mistake or deliberately when a band member shares them on their social media profiles prior to a formal tour announcement.
Future Tours and Breakup Rumors If DMB continues touring in 2023, one would imagine that the pattern will remain fairly consistent in the years ahead. I hope to continue performing as long as I can,” frontman Dave Matthews has said. Other long-time band members such as violinist Boyd Tinsley and the saxophone maestro LeRoi Moore performed well into their fifties with Matthews before they left.
However, there are some rumors about the band’s possible retirement shortly have appeared recently. Matthews is now in his mid-50s and has made fairly nebulous statements about ‘not doing this forever’ in some interviews. However, no clear time frame for DMB’s retirement or disbandment has emerged yet. The musicians look happy with the opportunity to tour every summer as long as passion endures.
Some of the band’s fans have pointed out that the year 2025 will be the 40th anniversary of the band DMB. Perhaps, a world tour of such a large scale, or one or two spectaculars or a live album to mark the anniversary might be in the offing. Fans would keep holding out for the day when that and other anniversaries will come and go without this one, hoping the guys would continue riding out on tour each summer just like it is as a prototypical DMB custom.
Tickets for Upcoming Tours As we have seen, DMB enjoys significant patronage in the live concerts niche, and thus tickets are a hot cake any time the band plans for a tour. Those who wish to attend a 2023 or 2024 show should monitor such announcements for information on when to buy tickets. Sometimes pre-sales specifically for fans club and VIP packages are released and they usually sell out very quickly.
There are many ways of purchasing face-value tickets without being scammed and this includes directly from the band’s website where you can subscribe to the mailing list or through reputable companies like Ticketmaster. Related businesses such as StubHub can also give last-minute access, although it is often at a premium. Some tickets may also be purchased directly from the venue box office during the shows.
An example is fans who go early and camp in the standby line for general admission pit zones or lawn areas are also common among die-hard fans seeking the best experience. Finally, ticket acquisition is a process that requires patience, preparation, and acting quickly when possibilities appear, as inventory will run out quickly.
As fans eagerly await the opportunity to watch them perform live, DMB has never had a problem selling out venues and touring for decades. There may be someday when these musicians plan on retiring, but for now, Dave Matthews and company are not backing away from their annual tour on the road – much to the pleasure of fans. Watch for tour announcements and ticket on-sales so that you can catch one of DMB’s legendary concerts on a future tour.
