Dave Matthews Band at Jones Beach Theater

Summer 2026 Tour

The SUMMER TOUR 2026 is officially on, and the boys in the Dave Matthews Band are packing up the buses and hitting some of the most iconic outdoor stages in the country. From Camden and Saratoga Springs to Gilford, Hartford, and The Woodlands back in Texas - NONE of the dates are quite as fun and cool as right here down at Jones Beach. No matter WHAT date you see the boys on during their summer run, every venue has spaces built for open air, long nights, and crowds that know exactly why they showed up. Far from a trend of some OTHER bands going on this tour (but no shade!) DMB has spent decades perfecting the art of the live show, rolling into any and every town with confidence, history, and a fanbase that shows up early and stays late. Jones Beach is the kind of stop that fits directly into DMB lore: a little bit of ocean air, summer heat, and a crowd ready to lock in for the night - AKA us. Just like clockwork - every summer the band rises with the sun and stretches out to all corners of the world: and there’s no better place to experience that than right on the water with thousands of other Crush fans singing around you. 

Dave Matthews Band’s rise wasn’t overnight - far from that folks. And if you DON’T know the whole story yet - well, let’s review. Formed in Charlottesville, Virginia in the early ’90s, the band built their reputation the old-school way: AKA hella touring, word-of-mouth buzz through bars and high school halls, and performances that felt like once in a lifetime moments for fans every single night. What started as a regional favorite quickly turned into a national obsession, with fans trading tapes, chasing dates, and following the band across state lines. By the time the mainstream caught up, the band already had tens of thousands of fans who were already here - ready to follow them for the rest of eternity, ready to rock and roll. And THAT folks is why you need to be here for when it all goes down. 

SO - you know what that all means? Break out the vintage tees, the too-short jeans, and the beer cozies - and then? Get to the best show of the summer so we can get it right. This is selling out FAST - so don’t miss it okay?! We’ll see you right here when they take center stage!
