Dave Matthews Band Have Announced Tour For 2006

The Dave Matthews Band will kick off their tour in support of 2005's platinum-selling Stand Up on May 30th in Maryland Heights, Missouri. A stand in their hometown of Charlottesville, Virginia, on September 22nd and 23rd will close the trek.

The band wrapped up their fall tour in December, and their 2005 summer trek spawned both the CD/DVD set "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 group had recorded its first live album ten years earlier.

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

man these guys rock!! Esp their drummer..carter bauford, he kicks ass

[DoctorFu]

Their drummer is the best guy in the band. I don't like this style of music though.

[Leafs_fan_37]

come on, one canadian show? You aren't even American, why are you only touring there?

[applax]

oh shit is is gonna be a great show this time around I really wanna go. I just hope they dont play too much off the Stand up that was a pretty crappy album

[loyd]

06/28 my freakin bday!!.. cant wait. what a nice bday gift. thanks Dave. haha.

[your_madre]

I saw the DMB live two years ago in Carson, and let me tell you- they put on an AMAZING live show. Those guys rock. And Stand Up was not a crappy album.

[EewokMan33]

for anyone who doesnt know the TBA dates are for Fenway Park in boston... theyre just finalizing the issue right now

[brio541]

so how come it says complete list of the tour? and no to be announced dates?

[cefasnacht]

nice 3 in dui distance, i like my odds

[PiesR'Us]

mm, mule and dave in hartford, how lucky. i tell ya tho, the band is going downhill imo, turning into a pop band. their albums havent been up to par and their live show is really repetitive now. dave cant do his signature falsetto anymore, just bout every solo taken sounds the same now. i just hope theyre in a slump but after last year, dont think they are. 05 was the worst year for shows ive ever seen.

[thefinalcut]

Didn't they a couple years back literally let out shit on peoples heads from out their tour bus onto a yacht.

I never liked his vocal style, it's too breatheey if that makes any sense.
