Summer Tour Dates Announced; Album Pushed to June 2

Posted by Matthew Yette in Tour News at 4:18pm on Thursday, Feb 19th, 2009

Well, this has been an interesting day. Shortly after we wrote about Dave's latest tweet confirming the band's upcoming album will be pushed back past its original April 14 release date, the official site has announced the 2009 Dave Matthews Band Summer Tour Dates. The tour kicks off on May 27 at Darien Lake PAC just outside of Buffalo, NY, and concludes on October 2 at the BOK Center in Tulsa, OK. In between, there are two dates in Boston and one in San Francisco that have yet to be assigned to a specific venue. It's very possible that the Boston TBA shows could end up at Fenway Park, as we reported on a few days ago. Look for these details to be finalized shortly.

While the extensive 49-show tour includes many new venues and even a couple unknown venues, the announcement also slips in a new release date for the album: June 2. The tour is being billed as a supporting tour for the upcoming album; what this means for the Spring Tour's chances of hearing some new music is still anyone's guess. Warehouse preorder online ticket request period begins Thursday, February 19th, and continues through Monday, March 2nd. UPDATE: Add the Spring & Summer Tourdates to your Calendar (like Outlook or iCal)! Just import the supported file into your calendar application. (csv) (ics/iCal)
