On January 25th, the much anticipated email from the Dave Matthews Band's Warehouse Fan Association issued a released of upcoming summer tour dates, but that wasn't the only message they planned to deliver.
Fans all over the country look forward to the summer months and traveling to attend as many shows as they can fit into their schedule. The rumored dates are always circulated online and causing mass hysteria with the long-time fans.
This year is the 25th anniversary of Dave Matthews Band and they plan to kick off the tour on May 11th in Wichita, Kansas. The last stop of the tour will be a long weekend in George, Washington at The Gorge; September 2-4. The band has played here over 50 times and it's always on Labor Day weekend so it has commonly been known to fans as "Labor Dave Weekend."
Although fans were ecstatic to finally have the tour dates, the band had another announcement. They are taking a hiatus from touring in 2017.
This news was an unsettling surprise for many fans and their shock had taken over social media and within hours, they were trending on Facebook. Die-hard fans started making preparations to attend as many shows as possible to prepare for the "Davepression" that would settle in during the summer of 2017.
With the tremendous success that Dave Matthews Band has made within the last 25 years, we can agree that they have earned a much needed break and so have the fans that have traveled along with them for so many years.
Tickets for members of "The Warehouse" went on sale Tuesday, January 26th. General public tickets will become available on February 19th.
We will look forward to a celebratory return in 2018, but for now, enjoy the 2016 summer tour!
Eat, drink and be merry!
