Dave Matthews Band returned to the road in 2018 and released a new album, Come Tomorrow, in June. DMB hasn’t reported everything from the summer yet, but some highlights include a nearly $1.2 million gross over two nights at Bank of NH Pavilion in Gilford, N.J., June 12-13, and $776,035 grossed off 8,627 tickets at The Wharf Amphitheater in Orange Beach, Ala., July 29.
Dave Matthews was one of the headliners who didn’t get to take the stage due to inclement weather at Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival this year.
The band faced controversy earlier this year when its longtime violinist Boyd Tinsley was accused of sexual assault earlier this year, according to Variety, and is ‘no longer a member’ of the band.
DMB and other artists played a free concert at Scott Stadium @ Univ. Of Virginia in Charlottesville after racial and political tensions boiled over at a “Unite The Right” rally in the city that left one counter-protester dead after being hit by a car and two state troopers dead from a helicopter crash.
