Dave Matthews Band to hit East Coast before touring hiatus
Dave Matthews Band has extended its in-progress excursion across the nation with a round of East Coast shows running right up to the holiday season.
Just a few weeks after announcing that they would begin an 18-month touring hiatus later this month, the Virginia jam band has delayed the break by tacking another nine stops onto the itinerary. The trek continues tomorrow (9/10) near Houston and runs through a two-night stand Sept. 17-18 in Chicago. The new fall leg will begin Nov. 2 in Buffalo, NY, and visit arenas along the eastern seaboard through two consecutive hometown shows (11/19-20) in Charlottesville, VA. The full schedule, including one South American concert, is shown at right.
Fan club members can purchase tickets for the new round of dates now via the DMB website, while public on-sales begin Sept. 24 in most cities.
Dave Matthews and his crew -- drummer Carter Beauford, bassist Stefan Lessard and violinist Boyd Tinsley -- continue touring behind last year's "Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King," which debuted atop The Billboard 200.
In May, the group posted a short message at its website, announcing the 2011 break.
"We feel lucky that our tours are a part of so many people's lives, and wanted to give everyone as much notice as possible," the announcement said. "We're excited to make this summer one of our best tours yet, and look forward to returning to the road in 2012."
