I can see that given that he performed with them at their Canadian Rock Hall induction.

Based on LA County public health guidance, the Hollywood Bowl will be able to welcome a limited-capacity audience of approximately 4,000 when concerts resume in May, and we anticipate ramping up to greater capacity later in the summer. To kick off reopening, we will host four free concerts for healthcare workers, first responders, and essential workers as a gesture of thanks for all they have done for Los Angeles throughout the pandemic. Three of these concerts are generously sponsored by Kaiser Permanente.

Beginning in July, the Hollywood Bowl will present 14 weeks of concerts featuring a mixture of programming. The lineup of artists, dates, and ticketing details will be announced May 11.

DMB is not on the list. :-)

You know they weren’t ever scheduled for it.
They’ve not been there since the Stand Up tour.

boy you don't post much, but when you do, they're certainly worth it.

Thanks for the update.

Definitely not ok unless you enjoy having your identity stolen.

Looks like they have a streaming concert next week:

Its been roughly 20 years, but the one time I saw Toad live they were incredible. Just a masterclass in putting on a live performance.

Anyone know the legitimacy of this publication?

They’re making it sound like these shows will be on happening.

I just saw this. I’d be suspect since the article only mentions secondary ticket outlets as a way to purchase tickets.

I go to 15-20 shows a year. Spac shows were premiums. Adds up quickly ha.

I'll be super sad if that happens. Have a stub to every show I've been to. Most sports teams are shifting away from hard tickets (Cubs are fully mobile this year). They say it's to curb fake tickets with scalpers, but I'm sure it's really to save a ton of money printing tickets.

I went to the Big Ten Tourney and NCAA Tourney in Indianapolis. All the venues were mobile only. But your point is unfounded -- the scanners don't touch your phone. So unless your germs magically jumped off your phone, it's pretty safe. Although I guess you could just scan a hard ticket too but those would be changing hands more often. Regardless -- COVID-19 is not spread by fomites, so that has no bearing on the hard ticket vs. mobile argument.

Save on postage!? I feel like they charge like $4.95 to ship hard tickets out and then there's a damn 32 cent stamp on the envelope when it arrives. They make plenty on their postage markup!

I think they charge more for .pdf. If I recall it used to be free. Anymore if it’s not WH or a ticket that picked up on the board, then typically I’m not going.

Man I was supposed to go to the comedy show at the amphitheater in town tonight. Would have been my first time in a amphitheater since June of 2019. Of corse weather is horrible, and it got canceled. Damn can’t even scratch the itch even just a little bit

Their July 14 date @ Wolf Trap was postponed again...it's safe to guess most everything before August (if not Sept) is not happening as scheduled. This was a family concert for us, w/ our two boys. I'm quite bummed that it won't be happening.

We first saw them in Poughkeepsie back in the day...they were awesome then. Then we saw them in 2018 at the Birchmere, later that year at the Neptune Festival, and then co-headlining with Big Head Todd at Wolf Trap in 2019.

Glen's voice sounds the same...one of those very few singers with a truly ageless voice. A wildly underrated band.

Cripes have I been out of the loop, when did tickets for the tour go on sale?

They've been on sale since they announced the initial 2020 tour, they just rescheduled all the shows and honored the tickets

What made them so awesome in the live setting?

They're my second fave behind Dave, their music just translates very well to the live setting and sounds very similar to the albums.

From bank of NH pavilion via FB messenger “ Hi it looks as though we are going to have to push the date to August but it will happen at full capacity. We should be able to confirm everything and make the announcement in a couple weeks.”

[dmbolp]

Umm, that's the most "news" we've received in months, thanks! Maybe some/most June and July shows get's lifted somewhat and put into August?

oh wow, that would be huge.

[clarke kent]

Even if shows return this summer/fall my wife and I have completely written off 2021 for any live music. However, an awesome way to kick off 2022 would be for Dave and Tim to return to Mexico. Do you guys think this may be a possibility?

Do you have any PIT tickets to sell?

[podiumboy]

Just picked up some 2-Day lawn passes to Deer Creek for $78. I know it's going to be rescheduled, and in fact I'm counting on it since I will be on vacation during June 18-19. Riverbend is my local venue, and the show that I shelled out big money for good seats. So it's nice to add a couple lawns shows at DC. Going with a large group of people.

I realize it's ironic that the guy who a month ago was going on about the death of live music being excited to buy concert tickets. I apologize for being a black star of death, I was in kind of a dark place. If not this summer/fall, here's to 2022!!

Was that an all-in price? Great deal if so

Reading thru their FB comments on some recent show announcements and they keep saying expecting full capacity in July. Got an extra Gorge hotel this evening just incase.

[SoCalDMBLover]

This vaccine is the shit. Full capacity shows by August? That's about 3 months earlier than I ever would have expected.

I have tickets to James Taylor & Jackson Browne at an indoor arena. It was just pushed back from May to October 30. Again, about 3 months ahead of what I would have thought possible.

Still taking a "I'll believe it when I see it" attitude, and will wait until we're within 30-60 of the actual show date to see how things are going before I come to the conclusion that these rescheduled shows will take place this Summer/Fall.

I have tickets to both SPAC and Gilford, because originally they were taking place within 7 days of each other. Would really suck if they get rearranged so I can't do both in a single trip back east.

[ExistenceNow]

COTA, the venue DMB plays when they come to Austin, is set to announce a show soon. It won't be DMB, but it does mean they're coming back.
