How can they do this to us? No Philly area show is blasphemy!

    What a great way to alienate close to 50K fans by not playing in the Philly metro area. I'm sure a few thousand will go to Homdel or Merriweather Post but the majority of DMB fans will not get to see their favorite band this year. We're not talking about some midwest stop, the Philly Metro area is the 6th largest in the US and the fans and band are always great at Camden. This makes absolutely no sense.

    I’m not upset, I’ll just do Merriweather though it is puzzling that Camden doesn’t get a show. I can see other bands this summer multi show dmb summers are a thing of the past for me anyway.

    I have a feeling something else is on the way. Rumors all point to other artists getting bookings for the area before DMB got around to it. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a later announcement that just didn't make the cut in time.

    It is rather odd. Last time they haven’t played in Camden or Philly during the summer was 1997. (Not counting 2011 and 2017)

    It's hard to imagine going from two shows to none! Lawn not completely sold out on Friday night show? WHAT? Do the DOOBIE BROTHERS (there on 6/27) sell out the lawn? I would love to understand the reasoning!

    I'm still of the opinion that they're playing the Radio 104.5 Birthday show. It should be June 12-13th. The station loves them, always playing like 4 hours of DMB everytime they come to the city. I don't know for sure, but I think it's possible. I don't see them leaving 50k tickets on the table for a major metro area they had 2 shows at for the past 15+ years

    Reputable source on the rumors thread said Philly is gonna get something in 2020. Whether that's radio 104.5 birthday bash, a fall tour, or something else, remains to be seen

    If there's gonna be something in Philly, it's gotta be a festival right? They usually have non-compete/locality clauses that prevent them from playing the area for a certain time around the festival. That's the only reason I can think of why they'd leave Philly off the map completely. But they aren't playing Firefly, Xpn festival, or Made in America because they're in other places those days.

    That's why I'm leaning towards the Birthday show. It's usually the first few weeks of June, the band is open, the venue date isn't booked yet as far as we know, it's in Philly with a station that plays them regularly, there were quite a few rumors for the band being in Camden the 12/13th. My brain is telling me that's what it'll be. The only other music festival type gigs I can think of in that area are XPN, which is ruled out because they'll be in Florida then, OR MAYBE Musikfest in Bethlehem, but that's an INCREDIBLE long shot. It's during the August break, the festival can't shell out that kind of cash, they could sell MAYBE 2,000 tickets max. It's like a 0.00000001% chance.

    It's gonna be the birthday bash.

    We haven’t done Camden yet and this was going to be the year...maybe next year or maybe they do the Mann going forward? Haven’t ever really explored Philly. Would like to do a bit of that and catch a Phillies game...

    Musikfest would be nice! You are probably right though. Maybe Dave and Tim swing through Bethlehem??

    So when and if something is announced when do we think that may be? Would it be announced soon to be included in the request period ?

    Last years was only one day, but hopefully the weather will be nicer if it's them playing it. The streets of Camden were under water because of the rain.

    Edit: I'm thinking of the Beck and Cage The Elephant show.

    If 104.5 does happen, it most definitely won't be available through the warehouse.

    I wasn't planning on going this year again either, but man, leaving Camden off is such horse shit. This band is so out of touch with everything.

    They played Camden on 6/7/97.

    Looks like it goes back to 94 the last time Dave didn't play Philly/Camden/AC in the Summer.

    (though the band played Philly in Oct 1994)

    Phish is 100% doing a 3-night run on the beach which is what they're referring to. Been rumored for a few months now. Doesn't mean they can't add another.

    AC beach concert this year is Phish, 8/14-16.

    Camden sold like shit the last several years, even after moving it to a weekend. That said they could have easily done well with a one nighter there but logistics must not have worked out.

    Holmdel and MPP are both within 90 minutes of Philly, and word is DMB is probably headlining Firefly, so I’m sure that all factored in.

    They can't be doing Firefly. Firefly is June 18-21. They'd either have to play the 18th and play 5 shows straight, or they'd have to play the 21st and play 3 straight with a trek from Indiana to Delaware, back to Ohio. Doesn't make sense that they do that.

    Not only that, but a show on the 21st would be 5 shows in 6 nights and 7 in 9 with the Ohio shows the following week.
