DAVE MATTHEWS BAND 2008 SUMMER TOUR DATES
We are pleased to announce the 2008 Dave Matthews Band summer tour dates! DMB will be hitting the road in late May for a full summer tour which includes a return to Canada as well as a few places where DMB hasn't performed in several years. In addition, DMB will also be adding a few new stops to this summer's tour! Below you will find a list of all confirmed dates, including information on the host of talented support acts that will be accompanying DMB on the road.
Fans attending DMB shows this summer will be the first to hear the latest material from Dave Matthews Band as the band debuts songs from their forthcoming record. DMB is currently in the studio with Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Alanis Morrisette) working on the yet-to-be-titled album! Guitarist and long time friend Tim Reynolds is playing on the album, marking his first recording with DMB since 1998's Before These Crowded Streets.
Tickets may be requested through the website of the Warehouse, the official Dave Matthews Band fan association. The Warehouse ticketing request period is scheduled to open at 12:00 p.m. (noon) ET on Thursday, March 6, 2008 and is scheduled to close on Monday, March 17, 2007 at 12:00 p.m. (noon) ET. Please note that you must be a Warehouse member in order to request tickets and the ticketing request period is not first come-first serve, the order in which you place your ticket request does not matter.
Unless stated otherwise, Warehouse members may request up to two (2) tickets per show and unlimited shows within each series. Warehouse order confirmations will be posted on or before the day prior to the public on sale dates which are listed on the Tourdates page of the DMB website. To join the Warehouse, click here.
