Each date is its own listing, so pick the city and the night first. Tribute bands also tour under similar names, so check that the listing says Dave Matthews Band.
Two nights at Madison Square Garden
The tour ends with a Thursday and Friday stand at the Garden, on November 12 and November 13. The band changes its setlist every night, so the two Garden nights are usually quite different shows. The Friday show is the last night of the tour. Madison Square Garden sits on top of Penn Station, so the subway, the LIRR and NJ Transit all stop underneath it. The full arena schedule is on the Madison Square Garden page.
The rest of the tour
The run opens at the Kohl Center in Madison on Wednesday November 4, then moves to Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Friday November 6 and the United Center in Chicago on Saturday November 7. After that come the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence on Monday November 9 and CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore on Tuesday November 10.
Where to sit at a DMB arena show
Many Dave Matthews Band arena shows sell the floor as general admission standing room. That gets you closest to the stage, but you stand for the whole show, and the listing says whether a floor ticket is GA or reserved. Lower-level seats on the sides give a clear view of the whole band and the light show, and the upper level is usually the lowest price. Check the seat map for your arena before you buy.
Which dates cost the most
The two Madison Square Garden nights and the Saturday show at the United Center usually draw the most demand. The Monday and Tuesday shows in Providence and Baltimore are often better value. Prices move as the shows get closer, so compare the all-in total before you pay.
Who is in the band, and what is new
The current lineup is Dave Matthews, Carter Beauford, Stefan Lessard, Tim Reynolds, Rashawn Ross, Jeff Coffin and Buddy Strong. In 2026 the band released Take Me Back: Live at the Gorge, recorded on August 30, 2025, when it played Before These Crowded Streets in full at the Gorge Amphitheatre. Dave Matthews has also announced his first shows in Japan, a solo acoustic tour in January 2027. Every band date we carry is on the Dave Matthews Band tickets page.
