I know it's gonna be at Lakewood, but ever since 2009 I hope they'll come back to verizon for 2 nights. Let's hope 2015 is the year!!!

    It actually might not be at Lakewood. They have only played Lakewood on even years since 06.

    06 Lakewood
    07 Piedmont Park
    08 Lakewood
    09 Verizon
    10 Lakewood and Philips
    11 No show
    12 Lakewood and Duluth
    13 Centennial Park
    14 Lakewood
    15 ???

    With the return of 2 sets I hope we get as strong of a show as we did last year. Just end it a little better this time.

    They've GOT to quit playing at Lakewood. They couldn't have had worse organization skills for the pit line as they did last year. Being forced to sit on the sidewalk in the ghetto for 8 hours isn't my favorite thing in the world. Saying that, I still got railed and I'll probably be sitting out there again.

    Never seen DMB at either but I've been to both. Verizon blows lakewood out of the water. The only thing I don't understand about Verizon though is the lawn is already small, so why are there two big ass trees right in the middle of it?

    There is so much talk here about Verizon. I hope it is there, but I'm thinking when it's announced it'll be Lakewood.

    I'm certainly part of it. But there has been plenty of people mentioning it in other threads. Both sets of fake dates were at Verizon instead of Lakewood. One of them even included 2 nights. So it's not just me.

    I know, just giving you a hard time

    I'd much rather Verizon too, much closer to home

    If it's not at the venue it was at last year, I would consider going again. It was my best show of 2014 minus that encore.

    But hearing PFWYG and IBYU acoustic was worth ticket price alone, IMO.

    Do you know why DMB hasn't returned there since 09?

    I always assumed it was a Live Nation thing, where DMB/MusicToday/Capshaw were all connected to Live Nation (Lakewood is a LN venue, Verizon isn't). But now that MusicToday is no longer a part of LN, maybe we see a change.

    But, I've always seen Paradigm listed as the booking agent for both Phish and DMB in the yearly top selling act lists, and Phish always plays Verizon:

    Also, I think 2009 was a one-time favor to help a new venue get a big act (or the new venue paid a pretty penny to get a big act)...hopefully they return the favor again

    I think you're probably right on both counts. It seems odd to me that DMB and Phish have the same management and are a similar type of act, yet have vastly different approaches to many aspects of the business.

    I've been chasing PFWYG for years and we skipped ATL last year because we wanted to pass on the shitshow and save the money for the WPB trip. Still haven't heard it.

    So I talked to someone with an "in" at Verizon as she said they haven't heard anything about DMB this summer.
    I pray she's wrong haha

    To add to that, I called VZW box office last Wednesday or Thursday and asked about DMB dates. The woman I talked to said she didn't even know they were coming.

    Just thought I might get lucky and somebody would let something slip, but she seemed genuinely shocked when I asked.

    Really depends how far you want to drive. Lakewood is on the south side of ATL. Last year I stayed at the Hilton by the airport. It was only about a 10 minute drive.

    That would be my best recommendation.
