The Official 2026 Tour Rumor Thread

drfox · January 27

I always wonder if DMB are the most popular band in the US who are not really that popular anywhere else. They always seem to play large venues and extensive tours. Not sure why but they never really caught on across the pond here in U.K. and Europe.

After the disappointment release of the 2026 Dave Matthews Band summer tour, I sure hope PJ announces US tour dates soon

Funny how DMB gets a tour together every year like clockwork with tons of dates. Not to mention how many people they have on stage. No doubt they are all in on touring

Just so you know some of those dates like The Gorge and Fiddlers Green are held 2-3 years in advance and are the same (give or take a day or 2) every year.

In other words the framework of the annual summer tour is in place each year and 2-3 years in advance.

Here's the DMB dates. I put a blue dot next to shows that should be fire 🔥

Noblesville is expected to be one of the toughest tickets to get, especially with no Chicago or Alpine this year. And is generally where they play some of their best shows of the tour.
And Tampa usually gets the short end of the stick compared to WPB.

Yes. Last year was an exception because of Boston Calling, but they have played Mansfield that same weekend in June for most of the last decade and a half.

I don't think jam (or jam-adjacent) bands do a ton of international touring. Maybe on a big festival bill or if they host a destination weekend in Mexico or something. For whatever reason seems to be more contained to the US than most other genres.

I'll get to one of those camden shows for sure. One thing, somebody always gets into a fight near me at that venue in the lawn lol.

@Kwieneke - Give it a shot, K. We went to Washington last year and it happened to be during Labor Dave weekend. We've wanted to the Gorge for years and knew we would at least somewhat enjoy the show. So we went. Now, obviously PJ it always priority, but we are in on DMB! We had a fantastic time and immediately regretted only being able to attend N1.

From where you are, lawn seats won't be that expensive, no lodging costs and worst case, you have just an okay time. But you'll likely enjoy it more than that! And, I think I could buy you a beer for your help in Pittsburgh last year.

And DMB allows for fill in live music experiences when PJ aren't touring. Allows you to "scratch that itch" so to speak.

I was going to question why we are talking DMB here, but noticed the thread title didn't say anything about PJ so I guess any band tour is in play.

Does Pearl Jam know they can tour the states during the summer?

I didn’t realize there was as much crossover

I love me some live DMB. For the first 90 minutes. Then I just want it to end. Same with anything related to the Allmans. I can still have fun though.

My buddy and I were tossed out of there at the DMB show in 2012 because a drunk tried to push past us for our spot on the rail and when we wouldn’t move he tackled my buddy. Luckily it wasn’t until the second to last song of the night. Kind of lame that we had to leave just for defending ourselves but I get security is going to out zero effort into figuring out who started it.
