Dave Matthews Band Confirms 2010 Summer Tour
 Dave Matthews Band has announced an extensive Summer 2010 North American tour. In addition to amphitheater and festival dates, the band will continue a tradition of playing baseball stadiums with dates scheduled at Pittsburgh’s PNC Park (7/10) and Queens, NY’s new CITI Field (7/16-17). DMB opened St. Louis’ Busch Stadium in 2008 and has played a total of four dates at Boston’s Fenway Park since 2006.
Also, to make up for canceled 2008 and 2009 dates at the USANA Amphitheater in Utah, the band will perform a free show at the venue on August 17. Ticket priority will be given to those who purchased tickets to last year’s scheduled performance at the venue (the band missed its 2008 Utah show because of LeRoi Moore’s funeral and its 2009 stop at the venue due to health reasons). Supporting acts throughout the tour include: Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, The Felice Brothers, Yonder Mountain String Band, Robert Earl Keen, Martin Sexton, Zac Brown Band, Amos Lee, Gov’t Mule, Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears, Brett Dennen, Raphael Saadiq and Ben Harper and Relentless 7. The tour kicks off on 5/28 in Hartford, CT and concludes on 9/15 in St. Paul, MN.
DMB, the top-selling touring artist of the decade (according to Pollstar and Billboard), is set to perform on the 2010 Grammy Awards telecast on January 31 and will launch a month-long European tour in Hamburg, Germany on February 16.

Dave Matthews Band 2010 Summer Tour
Dave Matthews Band: 2010 Summer Tour for “Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King.” Denver’s Not on the Schedule, but Yonder Mountain Opens Two Shows in Massachusetts.
The Dave Matthews Band just announced its summer tour schedule — and once again Denver’s missing from the tour roster.
 The DMB will be touring behind its latest hit CD, ” Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King.” The CD has been nominated for two Grammys and the band will be performing on this Sunday’s Grammy’s show.
The Dave Matthews Band kicks off the tour May 28 in Hartford, CT – and ends the run Sept. 15 in St. Paul, Minnesota. And just like 2009 — Denver’s not on the summer tour list.
On the plus side, the band’s bringing along some interesting acts to open the various legs of the tour. This summer’s DMB openers include Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, The Felice Brothers, Martin Sexton, Amos Lee, Gov’t Mule and Brett Dennen.
And — Colorado’s Yonder Mountain String Band will play two dates with the DMB in Mansfield, MA on June 7-8. source
Dave Matthews Band reveals summer tour plans
The Dave Matthews Band will launch its 2010 summer tour with a pair of Memorial Day Weekend shows in Connecticut and then stay out on the road through mid-September.
The three-month-plus outing kicks off May 28 and 29 in Hartford, CT, and will hit 40 cities in all before wrapping Sept. 15 in St. Paul, MN. Highlights include two July nights (7/16 and 7/17) at Citi Field in New York City, and an Aug. 23 appearance at Los Angeles' historic Hollywood Bowl. Dates are at right.
 A variety of opening acts will join the tour at various stages, including Gov't Mule, Ben Harper, Brett Dennen, The Felice Brothers and others. Public onsales for the concerts begin Feb. 26, but DMB fan club members will have first crack at tickets during a presale event beginning Friday (1/28). Check the band's website for a complete list of support acts and additional ticketing information.
"Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King," which surfaced last summer, marks the band's first studio set since the death of saxophonist LeRoi Moore last summer. Guitarist Tim Reynolds returned to the studio with the band for the record--his first recording with DMB since 1998's "Before These Crowded Streets."
The set debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 in early June, moving about 424,000 copies during its first week on store shelves to make the album the band's fifth consecutive studio set to open with first week sales of at least 400,000 copies.
The album is up for two awards--Album of the Year and Best Rock Album--at this weekend's 52nd Annual Grammy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. The group will also perform on the show's broadcast, which will air Jan. 31 on CBS. article source

Dave Matthews Band Biography (Short bio on the Dave Matthews Band) :
Dave Matthews Band, sometimes shortened to DMB, is an American band formed in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1991. Founding members include singer-songwriter and guitarist Dave Matthews, bassist Stefan Lessard, violinist Boyd Tinsley, and drummer Carter Beauford. Founding-member saxophonist LeRoi Moore was part of the band until his death in August 2008. His spot is now occupied by Grammy Award-winner Jeff Coffin, of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones fame. With band members who each have roots in differing genres, including jazz, classical music, soul music, and Afrobeat, the combination of each member has created a sound which has earned them fans from a variety of quarters.
The band is known for their annual summer-long tours of the US and Europe, featuring lengthy improvisational renditions of their songs accompanied by elaborate video and lighting. The band's newest album, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King debuted at number one on Billboard 200, giving the band their fifth consecutive number one debut.
The band is a multi-Grammy Award winner, and was awarded the NAACP Chairman's Award. According to Julian Bond, "they sell out the largest arenas on Earth, but frequently give their music away." .... read more Dave Matthews Band biography
