The tour kicks off on April 27 with a return to the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, followed by several festival appearances, including the Lovin’ Life Festival in Charlotte, NC (May 4), and Boston Calling (May 25). Tour highlights include a two-night run at Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville, IN (July 11-12), a venue they’ve headlined 50 times and where they’ve sold over 1 million tickets. This is followed by their first performance in Richmond, VA, in 30 years, with a two-night stand at the newly opened Allianz Amphitheater at Riverfront (July 15-16). On August 22, Dave Matthews Band will return to Inglewood’s historic Kia Forum for their first show at the venue since 1998.
Other notable stops on the Live Nation produced run include Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD (May 31), Northwell at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, NY (June 11), a two-night stint at Credit One Stadium in Charleston, SC (June 20-21), and performances at Toronto’s Budweiser Stage (July 8) and Huntington Bank Pavilion in Chicago, IL (June 27-28). The tour concludes with the group’s traditional Labor Day weekend residency at The Gorge Amphitheatre in George, WA (August 29-31). The spring and summer dates will be the only DMB shows of 2025.

In conjunction with their return to Southern California, Dave Matthews Band has pledged $500,000 to support California wildfire relief efforts through their Bama Works nonprofit. Dave Matthews will also perform a joint set with John Mayer at the FireAid benefit concert on January 30th at the Kia Forum. Proceeds from the event will support rebuilding efforts for wildfire-affected communities. Fans can tune in to the broadcast and live stream on platforms including Amazon Music/Prime Video, Apple Music, the Apple TV app, Disney+/Hulu, Max, Netflix/Tudum, and many more.

Named as a UN Environment Goodwill Ambassador in 2019, Dave Matthews Band has a long history of reducing its environmental footprint, going back to its first shows in 1991. Last summer, the band successfully completed its first “On The Road To Zero Waste Tour” achieving a milestone where over 90% of fan-generated waste at Live Nation venues was reused, composted, recycled, or donated. Some venues even reached an impressive 99% waste diversion. This summer, the band is renewing its partnership with Live Nation venues to further minimize the environmental footprint of its tour.

This summer, Dave Matthews Band continues its long-term partnerships with The Nature Conservancy and REVERB. Since 2005, Dave Matthews Band and REVERB have partnered to make the band’s tours more sustainable and empower fans to take action for people and the planet at shows. The continued partnership with The Nature Conservancy’s Plant a Billion Trees campaign will bring the total to six million trees planted since DMB teamed up with TNC in 2020 to support reforestation.

Dave Matthews Band has achieved remarkable success, selling a combined 38 million CDs and DVDs and more than 25 million tickets, making them the second-largest ticket seller in history. In 2024, the band reached a milestone with their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They also concluded a series of three sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden, highlighted by the SOULSHINE MSG benefit during the penultimate performance. Joined by the Warren Haynes Band, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Goose, and other special guests, the event raised $4.5 million for relief and recovery efforts in Western North Carolina and Florida following Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
