that was it... lol. But, it seems like Florida is still on, so it's not that. Just seems like a gaping omission in the tour schedule... you're going to play Oklahoma but not Texas?

I think he might mean that the show hasn't gone on sale yet on TM but stubhub seems to have tickets. Not sure when the stubhub tickets appeared, though.

that's a pretty sound point, but lame nonetheless.


book us in December. it'll still be 80 degrees cmon with it!

SPAC for example can have shows at 33% right now.
Rescheduling is cool if things open up, otherwise it’s a disaster because you either have to cancel/postpone or figure out who to piss off by doing a resale

When I said this I mean I have no information.

Spac Rooms are relatively inexpensive at the mid tier hotels. That should end by the end of the day.

ohhh, durr. That does make sense. I forgot those were new dates for 2021.

Lol I’m not smart and assumed that was Washington DC. I’m going to work on not being brain dead

well we had that whole debate last tour announcement.

choctaw shelling out $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to book them.


them going back and ADDING Texas though was odd. I guess the shows were far enough apart it didn't violate any territory contractual restrictions, and that can't be the case now

[Lee3691]

I'd love an October DMB show in Texas. That is - by far - the best weather month in Texas.

[amberleigh]

Whoop! We are back up!

[seanbrutus]

Any word on a new album announcement with the tour announcement?

[tyler3440]

Without checking this thread, I put on listener supported for the first time in a long time. I check ants and see this thread is blowing up with Info that summer maybe on. Great timing.

The Carolinas are ready and announced no crowd restrictions in June!!! So fired up by all this news in this thread today!

Should people just go on Ticketmaster tonight and buy Charlotte tickets if we don’t have any or will there be another WH period?

To be fair, Oklahoma shows are much closer to Dallas than Oklahoma City. Oklahoma will pull all the Dallas fans in for sure and it will also pull the die hard Houston fans (4.5 hr drive).

If they had to cut something to hit more areas of the country, losing Houston/Dallas is much more manageable if you have Oklahoma happening. And a two nighter at a casino within driving distance sounds pretty good vs. Woodlands -> 3.5 hr drive -> Dallas. (I'd still attend them all but just being realistic).

This is all coming from someone that lives ~15 mins from the Woodlands venue.

Do you mean Raleigh? Charlotte wasnt on the tour.

Just booked the Holiday Inn at SPAC for $200 a night what a steal.

Hoping a Creek date squeeks out to get mine at a discount

[yankeesguy86]

This is the best news in a long time. I've missed live music so much, none more than a DMB weekend.

Great to hear DC and Chicago are still on. While we'll know for sure tomorrow, any idea if these are falling in August or September?

Charlotte was one of the first shows, now being pushed to the day after Raleigh

Book every single weekend and cancel what you don't need.

A lot of us midwesterners have done this strategy for years. Usually ~September each year I'd book every weekend at my favorite Creek hotel for the next summer's June/July/August since they refunded up until a few days before. Then once we had a date I'd cancel the other weekends. It would take some time to book and cancel but getting the exact room I wanted at an amazing rate was always worth it.

Just bought tickets to the tour opener! Fuck yes! See yall in Raleigh!

pro tip- if cscott is asking a question, he already has the answer to it. it's not for him.

So they're bumping the VA Beach show? That's currently scheduled for 7/24

[MiniFlynny34]

I'll be in Raleigh. 17 years to the date of my first show, pretty cool.

Then would June & July dates that are outdoors be moved to closest arenas?

[dmbdrew41]

Grand rapids still in play???
