TimmyB Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 I'll see DMB at bonnaroo during their headline set. I don't know if I'll make it to Darien or any other gigs. The only other DMB show I will definitely be attending is if Farm Aid is in the North East again this year. from www.billboard.com Edited By Jonathan Cohen. March 01, 2005, 1:40 PM ET DMB Unveils Summer Tour Plans Dave Matthews Band will supports its new studio album on tour this summer in North America, beginning June 1 in Maryland Heights, Mo., and running through a Sept. 7 finale in Bonner Springs, Kan. Members of the band's Warehouse fan organization will get first crack at tickets through March 14; most shows go on-sale April 2 to the general public. Beyond multiple-night stands at such familiar venues as Camden, N.J.'s Tweeter Center and the Verizon Wireless Music Center just outside Indianapolis, DMB will play an Aug. 12-13 stand at the 41,000-capacity SBC Park in San Francisco and an Aug. 19-21 run at the Gorge Amphitheatre just outside Seattle. The band's as-yet-untitled RCA set is expected in May and will likely feature such tracks as "Hello Again," "Joy Ride," "Die Trying" and "Old Dirt Road." Working with producer Mark Batson, DMB has built songs from ideas generated by each member, prior to Matthews adding his vocals. "It's amazing that we really never thought to work this way before," violinist Boyd Tinsley says in a video clip on the band's new album-dedicated Web site. "The result is pretty amazing; pretty mind-blowing for all of us. It's really groovin', really up music. It's funky. It's fun." DMB began road-testing some of the material last year, but even these perennial box-office barons experienced first-hand the treacherous touring environment of 2004. After five straight years among the top 10 touring acts, the quintet came in 12th last year, grossing $37.5 million and drawing 881,730 fans to 43 shows reported to Billboard Boxscore. Before the summer tour, DMB will play the first Australian shows of its career later this month, as well as appear at the annual New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in late April. A visit to the Bonnaroo festival is slotted in for mid-June. Here are Dave Matthews Band's summer tour dates: June 1: Maryland Heights, Mo. (UMB Bank Pavilion) June 2: Tinley Park, Ill.
