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.

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. For more details, visit www.fireaid.org.
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.

Luke Combs Announces 12 New Stadium Shows for 2027 ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour’
Luke Combs is extending his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour into 2027, announcing 12 new stadium shows across the United States.
The new dates continue the tour that Combs launched in 2026, though fans can expect a different lineup of opening acts. Treaty Oak Revival, Avery Anna, Shenandoah and Wyatt McCubbin will join Combs at various stops throughout the 2027 run.
The tour takes its name from “My Kinda Saturday Night,” a song from Combs’ latest album, The Way I Am. The singer recently wrapped the 2026 leg with three sold-out performances at London’s Wembley Stadium.
For now, the 12 newly announced stadium concerts are the only dates listed on Combs’ official tour calendar. Tickets for all 12 shows go on sale August 21.
The announcement had been teased throughout the week, with several venues revealing details before Combs officially announced the dates on Thursday morning.
The limited schedule reflects a shift in how Combs is approaching life on the road. With three young children — ages four, nearly three and six months — the singer has spoken about putting more time aside for his family. The days of spending most of the week away from home may be becoming less common for the country star.
That does not mean Combs is stepping away from the stage. Every 2027 date announced so far is scheduled at a football stadium with a capacity of at least 60,000 people.
The strategy is similar to one adopted by several major country artists in recent years, including Morgan Wallen: fewer shows in much larger venues. Rather than spending months on the road playing arenas and smaller venues, Combs can reach a large audience with a limited number of performances.
For fans, that makes each stop a bigger event. For Combs, it offers a way to keep touring while spending more time at home with his family.
Tickets go on sale August 21.
Tour Dates for Luke Combs 2027 ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour’:
April 3 — Arlington, Texas @ AT&T Stadium
April 10 — Minneapolis, Minn. @ U.S. Bank Stadium
April 17 — Detroit, Mich. @ Ford Field
