Dave Matthews Band has unveiled a 35-show American tour running from May through the end of summer, wrapping up with a traditional three-night Labor Day weekend residency at Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington.
The tour kicks off May 8 in The Woodlands, Texas and will move across the country, including stops in cities such as Austin, Texas, Tampa, Florida, Raleigh, North Carolina, Virginia Beach, Virginia, Kansas City, Missouri, Forest Hills, New York, and Hartford, Connecticut. In addition, several multi-night mini-residencies are also planned in locations including: West Palm Beach, Florida, Grand Rapids, Michigan, Camden, New Jersey, Gilford, New Hampshire, Saratoga Springs, New York, and Greenwood Village, Colorado.
The Gorge residency will feature guest performers across each night: Stephen Wilson Jr and Infinity Song on Friday, Watchhouse and Jonah Kagen on Saturday, and Jesse Welles along with Sierra Hull on Sunday.
Tickets can be purchased via Ticketmaster. The band is continuing its sustainability partnership with Live Nation Entertainment and REVERB (music sustainability organization) to lower the environmental impact of the tour. They also reaffirmed a goal of planting 1 million trees in 2026.
In addition to touring news, the group’s charity division, BAMA Works Fund, announced a donation to the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota following the deaths of Nicole Good and Alex Pretti. The band issued a statement saying, “We are horrified by the images coming out of Minneapolis. It’s hard to watch and hard to believe this is America. There is so much shameful dishonesty coming out of Washington right now, but this much is true: If ICE wasn’t in Minneapolis, Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti would still be alive today. None of this makes sense and it’s incredibly cruel. We must find a better way.”
