2008 Summer Tour Announced Highly Anticipated Summer Tour Kicks Off 2009 Tour Dates Coming Soon? 2002 Winter Tour Set to Kick Off Summer 2006 Tour Dates (Update) |
DMB to Skip Winter Tour
Posted by Matthew Yette in Tour News at 3:25pm on Thursday, Sep 27th, 2007For the second year in a row, Dave Matthews Band will not be hitting the road while the snow falls. While the band is already playing a show somewhere on November 12, and the possibility of a couple other random dates being thrown in still stands, a tour run for the Winter is out of the question. Most fans will agree that the combination of the strong Summer 2007 Tour and new information suggesting Dave is writing "a ton of material" grants the band some well-deserved time off.
While recent songs penned by the band, such as the recently revealed A Dream So Real, being termed as "the tip of the iceberg" of Dave's recent creative explosion, the path to the band's next album is not as clear. DMB and Stand Up producer Mark Batson have parted ways for this latest project, and as of yet, another producer has not been pegged. The current focus for the band is putting a strong finish into their current Summer Tour, and plans for the studio will be laid out after the tour wraps up.
Fans clamoring for the next iteration of Live Trax reportedly will not have to wait long; rumor has it that Saratoga Performing Arts Center will soon have its turn for official release treatment.
The band wraps up its Summer Tour this upcoming week at the Hollywood Bowl, and the word is that they plan to go out with a bang, plethora of guests and all. Tickets are still available, so if you're in the area, or have the ability to be in the area on short notice, grab them now!
9/28/07 Addition: Also originally meant to be included in this news roundup was mention of an updated Warehouse Fan Club website coming soon. Specifics are light, but there should be a marked improvement in the ticketing interface, as well as how members interact with eachother.
