Dave Matthews Band doesn’t take summers off.
Like clockwork, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers announced they’re taking off on an annual nationwide trek for the 33rd time dating back to 1991.
On this go-round, Dave and co. will headline stadiums, arenas, arts centers, pavilions, amphitheaters and festivals all over North America from April through August.
That includes five (!) New York shows and three in New Jersey.
New Yorkers hoping to see the “Ants Marching” group live can catch them at Bethel’s Bethel Woods Center For the Arts on Saturday, May 24, Syracuse’s Empower Federal Credit Union Amphitheater on Tuesday, May 27, Long Island’s Jones Beach Theater on on Wednesday, June 11 and Saratoga Springs’ Broadview Stage on July 18-19.
Their Garden State gigs are scheduled to go down at Holmdel’s PNC Bank Arts Center on Tuesday, June 3 and Camden’s Freedom Mortgage Pavilion on July 25-26.
To kick off the sprawling run, they’ll play the New Orleans Jazz Festival, Charlotte’s Lovin Life Music Fest and Boston Calling.

Dave Matthews Band new music
In May 2023, Dave Matthews Band dropped their tenth studio album “Walk Around The Moon.”
Over 12 tracks, DMB delivers their trademark bluesy, folksy, rock sound along with a few new flourishes.
Personally, we’re partial to the album’s title track, the deceptively simple “The Ocean and the Butterfly” and the rowdy, rollicking barnstorming good time of a song “After Everything.”
