Dave is going to be spending a lot of time with Carter, Stefan, Tim, Rashawn, Jeff and Buddy this spring and summer.
For the 34th year dating back to 1991, Dave Matthews Band will fire up their tour buses and crisscross across the U.S. on a nationwide tour.
This time around, the Rock Hall of Famers are scheduled to make five (!) New York stops. They’re scheduled to go down at:
Forest Hills Stadium
Queens, NY
Wednesday, June 10
Saratoga Performing Arts Center
Saratoga Springs, NY
Friday, July 17
Saratoga Performing Arts Center
Saratoga Springs, NY
Saturday, July 18
Jones Beach Theater
Long Island, NY
Tuesday, July 21
Darien Lake Amphitheater
Buffalo, NY
Wednesday, July 22
They’ll also headline back-to-back gigs at Camden, NJ’s Freedom Mortgage Pavilion on July 10-11.
As “Daveheads” are likely aware, what makes DMB concerts so special is just how much the ensemble plays with their set list to ensure no two shows are the same.
Rather than stick to the same songs every night, Dave and co. mix regularly things up by digging into their vast discography, play popular and obscure covers, unveil a fan favorite or two and maybe rock a track or two from their recently-released 2023 album “Walk Around The Moon.”
“Whether you’re a fan who hasn’t seen them in years, you’ve seen them dozens of times…they are a show you do not want to miss — definitely a ‘catch it before it’s gone’ scenario,” Parklife DC noted in a review of a June 2025 concert at Maryland’s Merriweather Post Pavilion.

Dave Matthews Band new music
In May 2023, Dave Matthews Band dropped their tenth studio album “Walk Around The Moon.”
Over 12 tracks, DMB delivers their trademark bluesy, folksy, rock sound along with a few new flourishes.
Personally, we’re partial to the album’s title track, the deceptively simple “The Ocean and the Butterfly” and the rowdy, rollicking barnstorming good time of a song “After Everything.”

Dave Matthews Band news
In tandem with the tour announcement, DMB announced they’re donating to the ACLU of Minnesota through their BAMA Works charity.
“We are horrified by the images coming out of Minneapolis,” the band wrote on Instagram.
“It’s hard to watch and hard to believe this is America. There is so much shameful dishonesty coming out of Washington right now, but this much is true: If ICE wasn’t in Minneapolis, Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti would still be alive today. None of this makes sense and it’s incredibly cruel. We must find a better way. To show our support, BAMA Works has made donations to the ACLU and the ACLU of Minnesota.”
