DMB Tour Rumors: 2014

Hearing today from Connecticuts concert promoter on the radio that DMB will be playing in Hartford mid July next year. Maybe more love to the midwest to start the summer tour.

    I couldn't find an official 2014 rumors thread, so we might as well make this one it. Gonna tweak the title a bit.

    I hear they're playing 12 shows in the south to start the summer tour - Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas, and Louisiana.

    I'm interested to see if they decide to drop some venues because of the declining ticket sales the past few years.

    More of a general question - curious what the general consensus is on whether or not the band will mix it up a bit with the 2014 sched, rather than doing an almost exact copy of their previous year's summer schedule yet again..

    I wouldn't expect a tremendous change from the last several years. TX shows to start'er off - Woodlands, Dallas, hopefully Austin. Gorge is almost a guarantee over Labor Dave Weekend.

    much of that depends on other touring acts and venue availability, too early to tell

    I'm curious about this, too.

    Or to see if maybe they hit the same locales, but play smaller venues, like Greek Theater instead of Shoreline, for example.

    I joked about it earlier but I really hope some of the mid/south states get some love this summer. Their fan base has been travelling way too far for shows the last few years.

    Seriously. It was awesome to have the Alabama/Mississippi shows in April and Orange Beach in July. (MS and OB were both 4 hour drives, but that's "close" for us.) We drove to TX for the Woodlands/Dallas run and to Deer Creek as well. 8+ hours each way, but that's par for the course for those of us down here. It'd be nice to afford a few more shows because we're not spending a ridiculous amount of money on gas and hotels.

    We live in S. Texas so we've been blessed to be close to Woodlands/Dallas for years and we LOVE Cynthia Woods Pavilion. Travelled to Camden, Denver, and Gorge this year but it would be super nice if there were some shows within driving distance that could save on airfare costs. Lets be honest - we're travelling to see the band one way or another - it would just be nice if they had a few more shows down yonder!

    I agree with all these comments. "If Only" Canadian fans would agree.
    Instead, they mostly tell me not to bother campaigning for more Canadian shows, and, just travel down to the US to see a show.

    "If Only" it were that easy. Sigh.

    Thinking about the Hartford July possibility .. so that would be ~1.5 month later than recent years.

    I am liking this idea, because that puts them closer to Ontario during the Ottawa Bluesfest timeframe - or the Quebec City Festival (both are first half of July).
    That works for me!

    The decline in tickets sales doesn't do much to them when they continue to raise the ticket price.
