Walk Around the Moon is set for May 19th
Dave Matthews Band has announced a 2023 summer tour that coincides with the release of Walk Around The Moon, their 10th studio album, due May 19th. Most of the album’s 12 original songs were recorded with producer Rob Evans, including the first single, “Madman’s Eyes,” which is now available. Longtime collaborator, John Alagia, served as executive producer of the album. Walk Around The Moon took shape during the pandemic and is as much a reflection on the current times as it is an urge to find common ground.
After playing a trio of dates in Mexico, Dave Matthews Band will kick off its US tour at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands, TX on May 19th. The headline run will include the band’s first show at the historic Forest Hills Stadium in New York on June 9th. Dave Matthews Band will play two-night stands in Wilmington, NC; Charleston, SC; Noblesville, IN; Chicago, IL; Gilford, NH; Saratoga Springs, NY; Camden, NJ; West Palm Beach, FL and Irvine, CA. The tour will conclude with the band’s traditional three-day, Labor Day weekend celebration at Gorge Amphitheatre in George, WA (September 1-3).
An online ticket presale for members of the DMB Warehouse Fan Association is underway now at warehouse.davematthewsband.com. Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning Tuesday, February 14th at 10 am local time until Thursday, February 16th at 10 pm local time through the Citi Entertainment program. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on February 17th at 10 am local time via Ticketmaster.
The album’s first single, “Madman’s Eyes,” weaves Middle Eastern textures with heavy horns and strings as Matthews asks unflinchingly, “When it’s too late to untwist the knife / How do we face hatred with the love inside us.” Dave Matthews Band gave “Madman’s Eyes” its live debut at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, OH in November 2021. Physical album editions include a limited edition deluxe vinyl option, is exclusively available now at DaveMatthewsBand.com.
Dave Matthews’ ongoing partnership with The Nature Conservancy has resulted in three million trees being planted since 2020. This year’s continued partnership will bring the total to four million trees. Fans can join in this mission by adding an optional donation of $2 per ticket to plant a tree with The Nature Conservancy’s Plant a Billion Trees campaign – a major forest restoration effort with the goal of planting a billion trees around the world by 2025. For additional details, visit www.dmbtrees.org. Once again, Dave Matthews Band will offset carbon emissions for band/fan travel with the assistance of Reverb, creating a climate positive tour. Reverb will also produce the tour’s annual eco-village.
