Dave Matthews Band Tours

Dave Matthews Band tours have taken place since 1991, when the band debuted as a small rock band in Charlottesville, Virginia. Since then, Dave Matthews Band has become internationally known, performing sold out shows at stadiums and large venues throughout the world. In addition to playing in the United States, the band has also performed in such countries as Canada, Australia, Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Italy, United Kingdom, Switzerland, and France. The band has held an extensive summer tour every year since 1992, frequently featuring guests to join them on stage and jam out their songs. Some of the bands most popular guests include Tim Reynolds, and Béla Fleck. After performing on two tracks on Before These Crowded Streets, keyboardist Butch Taylor made his live debut with the band on June 6, 1998. He was featured as a guest during many shows between 1998 and 2000. Beginning in 2001 he became a "permanent" guest of the band, and performed almost every song at every show until his departure in 2008.

In addition to the annual summer tours, the band has also held tours during the spring, fall, and early winter seasons. Late winter months (January - March) are often reserved for acoustic shows by Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, or solo acoustic shows featuring Matthews himself.
