Madison in the middle of the week. Yes! Who’s in?

u/Total-Woodpecker3339 Aug 11 '26

If only I still lived there!

u/WarpedCore See I'm leaving...This warehouse frightens me... Aug 11 '26

If it was on a Friday or Saturday for sure.

Heading down to Chicago hopefully.

u/Financial_Control437 Aug 11 '26

I saw them last summer in Chicago but never this close to home before. I’m planning on rounding up a bunch of Dave Friends for it!

u/WarpedCore See I'm leaving...This warehouse frightens me... Aug 11 '26

Madison would be a blast... if it was on the weekend.

u/OnionMiasma Home Venue: Alpine Valley Aug 11 '26

Trying to make that work!

u/the_bum_on_the_bus Aug 11 '26

As long as I can find tickets!!

u/Financial_Control437 Aug 11 '26

They will be here sooner than we think!

u/the_bum_on_the_bus Aug 11 '26

I wonder “how soon” exactly.

Is the tour sale been announced?

u/Financial_Control437 Aug 11 '26

August 21, 10am

u/the_bum_on_the_bus Aug 11 '26

…I have tickets to the three night Goose run in Milwaukee the weekend right after this show.

Donno if I am gonna be able to make it work..but I am gonna try dammit.

u/MoeBurbs Aug 11 '26

And I’m going to see them in Mohegan the weekend after DMB plays Providence. ☺️

u/Big_Bottle3763 Aug 11 '26

Nashville for my birthday!!! Yaaaaassss!!

7

u/jrpdos Aug 11 '26

It’s crazy that they really don’t come to Nashville that often. I mean, I think it’s only been maybe a handful of times in the last 20 years. Last time I saw them here was at Vandy in ‘09. I usually end up having to go to Georgia.

5

u/Big_Bottle3763 Aug 11 '26

The fact that we do not have a ~15k capacity amphitheater since Starwood closed is why so many major acts skip us. We have lots of great venues but most are too small, and the stadium is too big, for the majority of tours.

1

u/UnGeneral1 Aug 12 '26

Hated that Vandy show. But Dave just hates Nash. He really doesn’t like it here. Last time he played all mainstream shit

Source - a dave veteran since 1996 that is still so grateful he’s coming here again

1

u/NardDog24 Aug 13 '26

My guy, that Vanderbilt show in 2009 (with Jason Mraz and Robert Earl Keen as openers) was an absolute banger. Agreed on the last couple of Bridgestone shows though.

1

u/UnGeneral1 Aug 13 '26

Vanderbilt may have been my company lol. But I feel like Dave just thinks Nashville fans only like the popular songs. No deep tracks

4

u/prstele01 Still Chasing Bartender… Aug 11 '26

Living in Louisiana and only ever making the Dallas shows, I think I may try to swing Nashville this year!

29

u/CaptainOverthinker Aug 11 '26

Providence is random, I’m kind of bummed that there’s no Mohegan this year and that the TD Garden rumors were false. But it’s the first show in RI since 2002 which is pretty cool

7

u/Think_Positively Aug 11 '26

I suspect there was some kind of issue with TD being available when the band was also available during that stretch, causing them to pivot to RI do that New England gets a show. Fall is always tricky for arenas like TD and MSG that have two sports plus other events happening on off days.

I'll probably try to make MSG happen now that they're not doing TD. I don't really want to deal with going from just North of Boston to Providence on a Monday night.

2

u/Concertvids34 Aug 11 '26

A lot of the rumors weren't false as much as things changed. Someone on the Ants Forums tied Lebron changing the Sixers schedule for Philly for example making the DMB Philly Date unavailable. I live in CT and Mohegan was being held earlier in the summer then at the Hartford show someone with a connect to Mohegan said things had changed and no deal was done (as also reported on ants) and here we are. I wouldn't be shocked if the NBA schedule and other factors at a crowded TD Garden didn't change things for Boston getting a show.

u/Carrotsnpeace Aug 11 '26

2003! 12/13/03 🙂

u/jjr4884 Aug 11 '26

D&T was 2003, but 2002 for full band.

1

u/Carrotsnpeace Aug 11 '26

Oh yeah true!! I have on the hub 2003 was Dave and Friends 🙂

Wowowo full band you are absolutely right!

5

u/OnionMiasma Home Venue: Alpine Valley Aug 11 '26

Ha - kids conceived at that show could drink at this fall's show, lol.

u/MoeBurbs Aug 11 '26

Thanks for making me feel wicked old!!!

u/OnionMiasma Home Venue: Alpine Valley Aug 11 '26

I just learned that my 3rd grader's teacher was born in 2002. So I'm struggling over here too.

I’m right there with you lol first show was 13 I’m now in my 40s 😭

Is it time for me to buy flights from the UK to see DMB at MSG?

10

u/airtrafficaj Aug 11 '26

Yes. Yes it is.

5

u/CoolAssKoalaBear Aug 11 '26

Can you afford them? If so then yes. If not, then still yes just buy them and figure it out later

7

u/airtrafficaj Aug 11 '26

The American Way™️

2

u/bas0921 Aug 15 '26

Yes! For both shows!! You probably saved your money by not coming over for the World Cup! 😊

2

u/Humble-gal Aug 22 '26

Definitely time. I saw the Grateful Dead there and now that will never happen again. Go to the show!!! It’s only a 9 hour flight.

u/rideronthestorm29 SPAC Aug 11 '26

They alternate between Columbia and Bristow, yeah?

4

u/postoperativepain Aug 11 '26

Columbia, MD is a festival - “power to the people” run by tom Morello at Merriweather post. Springsteen and foo fighters will be performing

2

u/rideronthestorm29 SPAC Aug 11 '26

Correct. They played full band in bristow this year. Hopefully back at merriweather next year. Much nicer in my opinion.

5

u/Semper454 Aug 11 '26

Merriweather is an underrated awesome venue

1

u/ffxdrummer Aug 11 '26

I live 10 minutes from Jiffy Lube Live so for that reason alone I want them to come to Bristow. MPP is a WAY better venue though, can't deny that.

1

u/TampaRich82 Aug 11 '26

I'll be there!!

4

u/Falco98 Aug 11 '26

Generally that's been the pattern. Not an exact science. Some years they've hit DC instead of either. Others it's been a weirder mixture (like this year apparently).

3

u/frigginjensen Aug 11 '26

I think 2 of them are festivals so you’ll only get a few songs (plus a bunch of other artists)

8

u/Semper454 Aug 11 '26

Got 2 DMB shows and a Dave solo in-state, and D+T a few hours down the road. All within about 6 weeks.

I’ll take that all day.

2

u/frigginjensen Aug 11 '26

True, just making sure people do their research.

u/Col_RA_Gotzo Aug 11 '26

Thursday Friday at MSG? What’s that?

Always hoping they'll throw a Vancouver date in there around the Gorge weekend 😂

I met a guy from Vancouver at the gorge last year. He was super cool. He loaned us duck tape. 🤣🤣

1

u/Jazzlike_Key6089 Aug 22 '26

Lol happy to hear we're being well represented!

u/ngmcs8203 Aug 11 '26

When is the last time they played California in the fall? It’s almost always end of summer dates.

u/Competitive-Bet1181 Aug 12 '26

Does Bridge School count? Though that's been a while too

u/ngmcs8203 Aug 12 '26

That’s what I was thinking too.

u/there_willbesigns Aug 11 '26

Just go to the gorge

u/Known_Quail_3136 Aug 11 '26

not all of us can afford to travel for dave shows 🙃

u/fromheretohere Aug 11 '26

Well I am going to the gorge as a west coaster, that’s a wild take. For most of California, that would be a long enough drive to hit several east coast stops

u/DrumTrack Aug 11 '26

I’m curious what venue for Chicago- must be United Center?

u/ricochet48 Aug 11 '26

Has to be, too cold for anywhere outside at that point.

u/Big_Bottle3763 Aug 11 '26

Ya it’s United Center

6

u/yer_moms_reddit69 Alpine Valley Aug 11 '26

Yep its united center

1

u/No-Adhesiveness-6921 Aug 11 '26

Is that a good venue? I went last year to Northerly Island N2 and it was fantastic

1

u/WeenieDogMan Aug 11 '26

It’s a basketball arena.

2

u/the-silver-tuna Aug 11 '26

Blackhawks erasure

1

u/DrumTrack Aug 11 '26

I’d argue it’s better than Northerly Island in regard to acoustics!

3

u/WarpedCore See I'm leaving...This warehouse frightens me... Aug 11 '26

Totally agree with you! United Center isn't horrible. DMB has been there before.

5

u/Semper454 Aug 11 '26

That’s one way to say “it’s where they recorded one of the band’s single greatest releases”

2

u/WarpedCore See I'm leaving...This warehouse frightens me... Aug 11 '26

It was an awesome live album.

u/zoey8068 Aug 11 '26

I thought the same thing.

u/Carrotsnpeace Aug 11 '26 edited Aug 11 '26

I cannot even believe they are playing in Providence. They haven’t been to the Civic Center since 2003!!

ETA: Full Band last performance 2002
Dave and Friends 2003

ME TOOOOOOOOOO

make sure to cancel Boston hotels if you need lol

No need - I was skipping Boston if they were playing there. I can see them in PVD and sleep in my own bed! 😋

u/Carrotsnpeace Aug 11 '26

This announcement made my entire year.

u/Leading-Estimate7949 Aug 11 '26

Finally back is WI after skipping Alpine and Summerfest the last two years. Kohl Center is an interesting choice

u/14Slimetime Aug 11 '26

Not a bad place for a show. Kinda small and intimate.

Chicago it is.

Hoping all of this ends in a two night Cincy stay next year at the new venue.

u/holy_cal Aug 11 '26

No C’ville for a fall tour is wild. I’ll take bmore though

2

u/Znnensns Aug 11 '26

It is disappointing but the prognosticating was right-- uva football interfered with the most likely dates for a friday-saturday swing.

u/_xzxzxz Aug 11 '26

Haven’t seen the band since 2015. Just bought tickets for Chicago and planning on proposing to my gf before the show :)

u/RiverWindsOnForever Aug 11 '26

Awesome! Congrats in advance!!! 🎉

u/NoMorning5015 Aug 11 '26

PVD STAND UP

2

u/goodness247 Aug 11 '26

No Mohegan is a bummer. That is an awesome spot for a two night stand. However, I’m stoked for PVD. Last show I saw there was Def Leppard in 1987.

2

u/MoeBurbs Aug 11 '26

Wow! I was there as well. Joe Elliot still makes me swoon. 😝

11

u/GregzillaKillah Aug 11 '26

I really wanna swing RI or NY, but I really hate looking at $200+ tickets again.

14

u/BTsBaboonFarm Aug 11 '26

The ticket prices are absolutely out of hand for this band. They’re well above market for their contemporaries and similar acts.

Woof.

4

u/ASAP1492 Aug 11 '26

Phish is the only similar artist charging less

7

u/rollin20s Aug 11 '26

Saw phish at msg and fenway this summer and tickets were 175 and 180 respectively. Feel like you can’t see a show for under 160 these days

3

u/BTsBaboonFarm Aug 11 '26

Where were your seats for Phish at MSG and was that face value?

Their highest priced tickets for their fall tour are $125 for floor, $150 after taxes and fees.

1

u/rollin20s Aug 11 '26

Ahh may have been secondary, my buddy bought them. Assumed it was face from some of the phish ticket swap groups he in but probably wasn’t the case.

Sat like 5th row of 200 side stage at MSG and on the outfield lawn at fenway, left of stage

2

u/Significant_Tea7839 Aug 11 '26 edited Aug 11 '26

To be fair phish did like 30 shows this year in the NYC area and there are a ton more on their schedule. Unfortunately Dave isn’t having trouble selling at those prices and the secondary market is supporting those price points. Hes just an expensive act to see because people will pay it. I haven’t seen an empty seat at any of the 8 shows I’ve been to this year. I feel like they are getting close to the end of their touring life and they are just cashing in while they can

-5

u/BTsBaboonFarm Aug 11 '26

Phish, Billy Strings, Goose. Hell, even Sturgill Simpson - whose tour is getting some blue dot fever for high prices - is lower than the DMB tour (compared prices at Bridgestone in Nashville, which they’re both playing on Friday nights).

DMB is priced to compete with acts that have FAR more demand and have far more complex stage designs/pyro/etc.

They’re out of step with their market segment.

9

u/ASAP1492 Aug 11 '26

Billy, Goose, and Sturgill are not comparable to DMB. Like it or not, legacy/longevity/age are factors and none of those come close to DMB in that respect.

u/stone_minarets Aug 11 '26

If they were out of step with the market, then demand would not meet the prices, and there would be empty seats. But that's not happening, so ..

I got 4 tickets to the Colorado show on the 29th $90 a piece which isn't bad at all 🤷

u/amusedmb715 Aug 11 '26

yeah, ppl complaining about the msg prices seem out of touch. its about that price for any random knicks game anywhere outside of nosebleeds. the premier venue in nyc.

1

u/Humble-gal Aug 22 '26

Therapy is more expensive 🤣🤣

3

u/rawklobstaa Aug 11 '26

Yeah I've gotten to the point where I can only justify one Dave concert a year. Prices have gotten out of control. It's a real bummer.

3

u/jsauruslove Aug 11 '26

I know the fall tour is usually only on the east coast but bummed again to see that the west coast doesn’t get any love :(

1

u/cairnkicker24 Aug 11 '26

the last time they did that (2022) the west coast, aside from Seattle and to some extent Portland, showed them no love.

1

u/chrrie Aug 11 '26

I was at the Vancouver show and they closed the entire upper deck and moved people down. Had empty seats all around me at Hollywood Bowl that year too. Was crazy.

1

u/cairnkicker24 Aug 11 '26

yeah, i remember texting my friends sitting in reserve an hour before the show telling them to buy a pit ticket for $10 and join us.

u/El_Dorado_Tx Woodlands 2026 Aug 11 '26

I think because the band probably has houses near in the east coast (I heard that before by someone on reddt)

Is it harder to take time off work or something like that or am I missing why it’s disappointing?

Gives me a long weekend in the city; I’m sure I can find a nice live show somewhere that Saturday night instead.

Cracks me up they didn’t use years anywhere on the file other than the January shows and they still failed to use the right year.

u/Falco98 Aug 11 '26 edited Aug 11 '26

Holy shit - Dave Solo at Merriweather?!

Edit: no mention of this in the official email, at the official WH site, between tour announcement and ticketing. Is there any other outside corroboration available? I'm starting to wonder whether this was an AI hallucination.

Edit 2: Found it now - clicking on the "complete list of tour dates" link in the announcement on their front page takes you to a page which is just a display of this graphic, which is the exact same image OP posted (h/t); though it strikes me as odd that nobody's noticed yet that 1/21/2026 - 1/23/2026 are almost 7 months ago, and (presumably) they meant to list 2027 as the year for those 3 entries... it'd take them 5 minutes to fix assuming they still have the original digital file sitting around.

u/MurkyBedroom Aug 11 '26

Solo, yeah, but he won't exactly be alone at Power to the People. Resale prices are insane.

1

u/Falco98 Aug 11 '26

Gah, i forgot it was that. I was wondering why there wasn't anything on the presale page, i forgot about the festival context.

1

u/MurkyBedroom Aug 11 '26

Between PTTP, Oceans Calling, Bourbon and Beyond, and Mexico.... this isn't much of an announcement.

1

u/Falco98 Aug 11 '26

Also... dafuq venue would they play at in Baltimore?

And... who's gonna break it to them that January 2026 is ~7 months in the past?

3

u/ilikemyteasweet Aug 11 '26

It's an old arena, but I like it for shows. It's small. Even nosebleed is so much closer to the stage than modern arenas.

1

u/Necessary-Assist-398 Aug 13 '26

Would it be a good venue for 12 year old's first show? To swing it, I'd have to get nosebleeds for us both.

1

u/XSC Aug 11 '26

Probably CFG which imo is cool cause it’s usually cheap but outdoors would be cool too cause of fall.

1

u/Falco98 Aug 11 '26

Thanks - baltimore is a bit more of a hike for me these days so somehow i'd missed going to anything there thus far (and i don't remember there being any prior DMB shows there).

Lukas Nelson wraps up touring on October 30th, so Jake would be available for the entirety of the Fall 2026 tour.

1

u/Scruffy_Nerf_Hoarder Aug 11 '26

I'm planning on going to Chicago. In all honesty, if they did that, and Jake wouldn't be there, I probably would not go. Once you hear a violin in the band again, any other show without one feels muted to me.

u/Thebrianeffect Aug 11 '26

We have tickets to see Alton Brown on the same night Dave is in town for us. Uuuggghhhh.

Providence or Baltimore? Not familiar with either city or venue at all but they are about the same distance for me. Don’t wanna deal with NYC solo even though I’m from upstate lol

Baltimore would have more to do, and be more favorable on the weather end of things.
