In a recent review, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution observed, “the stage is where DMB built its empire and where the band remains master of its domain. This summer, the Virginia septet is shaking the tree a bit with a two-set show that initially spotlights acoustic renditions of their songs and a longer, electric set filled with riff-tastic guitar solos…DMB deserves kudos for always bringing their A-game to the stage.” In a review of the Michigan show, The Oakland Press said, “Dave Matthews Band is twice as nice at DTE,” noting that the acoustic/electric combination “meant 25 songs and three hours of music – and rapture for the near-capacity crowd.”

Dave Matthews Bandranked as the biggest ticket seller worldwide of the past decade and has sold over 19 million tickets since its inception. The group, which has sold a collective 37 million CDs and DVDs combined, has teamed up with producer Rob Cavalloto record the follow-up to 2012’s Away From The World, which entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1, making Dave Matthews Band the first group in chart history to have six consecutive studio albums debut atop the chart.
