Dave Matthews Band Announce World Tour (including shows at Bonnaroo and HullabaLOU)

It just wouldn’t be summer without the Dave Matthews Band, and today they announced plans for their 2010 World Tour. The number one touring act over the past decade, who has sold 11.6 million tickets and taken in $529.1 million since 1999, announced over seventy shows spanning a seven month period. Once again they’ll return to our neck of the woods, at the Riverbend Music Center, where they have remained one of the hottest tickets over the past ten plus years.

Once again, the band will be joined by special guests Tim Reynolds (electric guitar), Rashawn Ross (trumpet) and Jeff Coffin (sax, flute, pennywhistle) of Bela Fleck & the Flecktones. And as always, the DMB has assembled quite a cast of opening bands, ranging from R&B/Soul acts like Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears, and Raphael Saadiq (formerly of Tony! Toni! Tone!), country acts like Robert Earl Keen and the Zac Brown Band, pop singer/songwriters Martin Sexton, Brett Dennen and Amos Lee, roots rockers the Felice Brothers, bluegrass act Yonder Mountain String Band and hard blues rock from Dave’s pal, Ben Harper, and his newer band, Relentless7.

If the one show in Cincinnati doesn’t give you your Dave fix, you’ll have a few other chances to catch the band without driving too terribly far. They’ll be playing just a couple hours away in cities like Noblesville, Indiana and Columbus, Ohio, as well as closing the brand new HullabaLOU Music Festival at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. They will also be returning for the first time in five years, to the Bonnaroo Music Festival, where they’ll close out the festival on Sunday, June 13. Tickets for shows (not festivals) in the U.S. go onsale to the public Friday, February 26.
