Dave Matthews Band Fan Site

Fans were surprised to hear that DMB are planning on taking 2011 off from touring and recording after 20 years of being on the road. DMB has had years before when they didn’t play a ton of shows, but never have they taken an entire year off. In an interview in promotion of the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, Dave revealed that he was looking forward to spending more time with his family and rejuvenating his creative forces. He said he wanted to make the announcement this far out from the end of the tour, so people won’t be surprised. It also gives DMB fans a little more incentive to go see the band this summer. The tour kicks off this Friday in Hartford, CT at the Comcast Theater with opening guests Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings. Anticipate the guys giving a little extra this summer knowing the long break that awaits them in September.

Although the 76-year-old world famous primatologist might not come immediately to mind when you’re listening to Dave Matthews, the two shared the stage at DAR Constitution Hall. Dave, assisted by his trusty guitar maestro Tim Reynolds, put on a acoustic show benefiting the Jane Goodall Institute in front of a enthusiastic crowd in Washington D.C. Goodall gave a short speech to the audience about contributing to her fight against pollution. Songs like “Bartender” and “Save Me” highlighted the over two-hour long intimate concert.  In a press conference, Dave expressed his disappointment with politicians’ overall efforts toward protecting the environment. When asked if he would ever consider going into politics himself, the 43-year-old musician said his “closet full of skeletons” would make that impossible. DMB will travel to Hartford, CT for their pair of shows at the Comcast Theater.

The Dave Matthews Band will make a stop on their summer tour this year in Manchester, TN to headline the Bonnaroo Music Festival. Dave’s played the festival before with DMB and  Dave & Friends, so this announcement doesn’t come as a surprise. I personally saw DMB play four years ago on the main stage and they were definitely the highlight of the festival for me. Expect a number of guests to join DMB on stage with all the performers playing Bonnaroo. When I saw them Warren Haynes and Robert Randolph made cameo appearances on stage. Other acts playing the three day festival this year include Kings of Leon, Stevie Wonder, Weezer, John Fogerty, Phoenix, Jeff Beck, and the Avett Brothers.

In support of their 2009 release Big Whiskey and The GrooGrux King, The Dave Matthews Band will be touring the world this year making stops in both Europe and North America. DMB will be making their way through Europe during the winter playing cities such as Rome, London, Dublin, and Amsterdam. The guys will return to the states on May 28th in Hartford, CT to kick off their summer tour. After earning a Grammy-nomination for Big Whiskey and The GrooGrux King it will be interesting to hear how the band plays some of the new tracks live. Look forward to hearing songs from the new CD like “Why I Am”, “Shake Me Like a Monkey”, and “Funny the Way It Is”. Dave Matthews Band tickets pre-sale begins today January 28th and officially go on sale February 26th.

As we all know by now, the Dave Matthews Band will be going on tour this spring and summer. But did you know that the tickets are just going on sale today? I’m excited about this, because I’m getting my tickets today! I don’t know where I want to see him though. There are lots of different possibilities, aren’t there? I could go to Boston, Chicago, Minnesota, California… all over the place! It’s so hard to decide. It doesn’t matter so much, because either way, I get to see the best band ever. I’m not going to be looking at the scenery nearly as much as I’ll be looking at the band and closing my eyes to listen to their amazing harmonies. Fasten your seatbelts, because this is going to be awesome.

The Dave Matthews Band fans have been surprised by the group in each and every show of their long summer tour so far as the band comes up with different cover songs for each of their concert performances. The DMB are currently touring North America and since they do not have a new studio album to support their tour, the band is promoting their older songs. Dave Matthews and his band members might have put a very serious thought into the listing of the songs and some tracks like Bitch and Money that has so far not been touched by DMB in their previous tour ventures are currently being showcased this summer. There are a few more tickets that are available for the Dave Matthews Band summer tour concerts in certain cities.

The rain gods showered praises of water droplets and applauded the performance of the Dave Matthews Band at Detroit’s DTE Energy Music Center with thunderous applauses and lightning last Monday night. The entire two hour and forty five minute gig by the DMB was played in the rain, but that did not dampen the spirits of the performers or the fans who had gathered in large numbers to enjoy the musical extravaganza.  The near sell out crowd at Detroit were treated to some scintillating music that also featured long time friend Tim Reynolds in their group and the band played songs like “You Might Die Trying”, “Two Step” and “Corn Bread”. There are few more tickets left in some of the concert centers of the DMB’s summer tour for the die hard DMB fans.

It is celebration time for the Dave Matthews Band Fans at New Jersey as the Band will be giving performances on two days at Camden.
