About the 2026 Summer Tour

The Dave Matthews Band 2026 Summer Tour features 35 shows across North America, kicking off in Texas in May before winding through the country all summer. The tour wraps with DMB’s traditional Labor Day weekend residency at The Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington – a bucket-list destination for devoted fans.

The Darien Lake stop falls during an extensive Northeast run that includes four New York-area dates:

• June 10: Forest Hills Stadium – Forest Hills, NY

• July 21: Jones Beach Amphitheatre – Wantagh, NY

Sustainability Commitment

The 2026 tour marks the third year of DMB’s “On The Road to Zero Waste Tour” with environmental nonprofit REVERB. The band has planted nearly 4 million trees through their partnership with The Nature Conservancy since 2020. Attending a DMB show supports one of music’s most environmentally conscious touring operations.

About Dave Matthews Band

Dave Matthews Band formed in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1991, blending rock, jazz, folk, and world music into something entirely their own. Vocalist and guitarist Dave Matthews assembled a group of virtuoso musicians – including drummer Carter Beauford and the late saxophonist LeRoi Moore – whose improvisational chemistry created one of rock’s most successful live acts.

Since their 1994 major-label debut, DMB has sold 38 million albums and built one of music’s most devoted fanbases. GRAMMY-winning hits include “Crash Into Me,” “Ants Marching,” “What Would You Say,” “Too Much,” and “Everyday.”

Why Fans Follow DMB

DMB concerts are renowned for their unique setlists – the band never plays the same show twice. Drawing from nine studio albums, live recordings, and unreleased material, they craft each performance specifically for that night’s audience. Songs regularly stretch into 10, 15, even 20-minute improvisational journeys, making each show a one-of-a-kind experience.
