Dave Matthews Band Hit the Road

The Dave Matthews Band will hit the road, in support of 2005's platinum-selling Stand Up, beginning May 30th in Maryland Heights, Missouri, wrapping up with a two-night stand in their hometown of Charlottesville, Virginia, on September 22nd and 23rd.

This is DMB's third time out for Stand Up: The band wrapped up their fall tour in December, and their 2005 summer trek spawned both the CD/DVD combo Weekend on the Rocks and the box set The Complete Weekend on the Rocks, released in November. The CD/DVD combo was filmed at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, where the band had recorded its first live album ten years earlier.

The trek will head to thirty-seven cities across the country, with featured stops at New York's Randall's Island, DMB's annual three-night stint at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington, and a special stop in New Orleans for the Jazz and Heritage Festival.

Openers will include reggae newcomer Matisyahu, rockers O.A.R., and bluesy funksters G. Love and Special Sauce.

Tickets go on sale to the public on April 8th.
