Dave Matthews Band Teases Caravan

Last year the Dave Matthews Band announced it wouldn’t be touring in 2011, so the four festivals may be the only chance to see the band this summer. Actually, the band mentioned the festivals in a posting on DaveMatthewsBand.com last month. This week’s announcement serves as a reminder as well as a tease that more information will be released shortly.

DMB sent out an e-mail yesterday announcing the festivals, referred to the concept as “Caravan.” Under the subject header “Save The Dates,” the band specified two date spans along with general locations, listing June 24-26 as taking place in the “Northeast/Mid Atlantic and July 8-10 going down in the Midwest. The announcement only mentioned the months for two festivals happening in August and September, saying that locations are “coming soon.”

Along with the Dave Matthews Band, each festival will feature a variety of acts and genre

Yes, the information is somewhat vague and specifies only two July weekends and a promise that two festivals will happen sometime between Aug. 1 and Sept. 30 with locations to be announced. But it’s more DMB info than we had the day before.

Now comes the hardest part – waiting for the ticket announcements. In the meantime, you might want to check out DaveMatthewsBand.com.
