The iconic Dave Matthews Band is set to take the stage once again with their newly announced 2025 Spring/Summer Tour, their only series of shows for the year. Kicking off on April 27 at the renowned New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, the tour will encompass 35 stops throughout the United States, culminating with their beloved Labor Day Weekend residency at The Gorge Amphitheatre from August 29 to 31. Fans can expect the band to perform at various high-profile music festivals, including the Lovin’ Life Festival and Boston Calling, giving music lovers plenty of chances to experience the band live.
Throughout this exciting tour, DMB will be returning to several memorable venues, marking significant anniversaries and milestones. Notably, they’ll play at the newly opened Allianz Amphitheater at Riverfront, making their first Richmond, VA performance in 30 years. The band is also scheduled for two-night runs at Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville, IN, where they’ve sold over 1 million tickets across numerous performances and are sure to continue this successful streak.
The tour itinerary highlights include appearances at the Empower Federal Credit Union Amphitheater at Lakeview, PNC Bank Arts Center, and Huntington Bank Pavilion, alongside festival stops such as the Best of Blues & Rock Festival, where they will perform for international audiences. The excitement is palpable as fans eagerly await the chance to catch DMB live this coming spring and summer.
Beyond the music, the Dave Matthews Band is committed to making positive impacts through their continuing partnerships with organizations like The Nature Conservancy and REVERB. This summer, they aim to bolster their previously successful environmental initiatives, renewing efforts to minimize the ecological footprint of their concerts. Following their "On The Road To Zero Waste Tour" last year, where over 90 percent of fan-generated waste was either reused, recycled, or composted, the band is dedicated to building on this momentum. They have pledged $500,000 through their Bama Works nonprofit to support California wildfire relief efforts, emphasizing their connection to communities facing environmental challenges.
Tickets for the 2025 tour will be available for pre-sale to members of the DMB Warehouse Fan Association starting January 28, 2025. General ticket sales will follow on February 21, 2025, making it imperative for fans to mark their calendars to secure seats to this much-anticipated tour. With such significant charitable partnerships and commitments, DMB is not only dedicated to their fans but also to the planet.
Dave Matthews, the band’s frontman, highlights their dedication during these performances by joining fellow musician John Mayer for the FireAid benefit concert at Kia Forum on January 30, 2025. This is particularly noteworthy since it’s their first joint performance, and proceeds from the event will support rebuilding wildfire-affected communities, showing DMB’s continued commitment to impactful community engagement.
The full schedule of the 2025 Spring/Summer Tour is packed with promise, featuring thrilling performances not just across the U.S., but also making waves globally with the Brazilian appearance. Each show location holds its charm and nostalgia for both the band and their avid fans, as they reminisce about past concerts and anticipate the electrifying experience of live music once again.
By the end of summer, as they wrap up their performances at The Gorge Amphitheatre, DMB will undoubtedly leave lasting memories for all attendees. With their compelling blend of music, community support, and environmental activism, the 2025 tour promises to be more than just concerts; it will be a collective celebration of music, friendship, and purpose for everyone involved.
