Received an email yesterday and it’s posted on the Band website http://www.DaveMatthewsBand.com check out the below:
Dave Matthews Band will host four three-day music festivals across the US this summer. The multi-stage events will feature a wide array of diverse musical talent with Dave Matthews Band performing a headlining set each night. Exact locations, lineups, ticketing and lodging info will be announced soon.
JUNE 24-26…North East/Mid Atlantic
JULY 8-10…Midwest
AUGUST…coming soon!
SEPTEMBER…coming soon!
This gets me excited as the 20th Anniversary plans are starting to come together and officially knowing DMB will not be taking the whole year off is something to look forward to. Can’t wait to see the exact locations (Atlantic City has been a good rumored location for the East Coast and you can pretty much guarantee that September will be The Gorge) and bands who sign on to partake (guessing Red Light Management, ATO Records and probably Brushfire Records artists will make up a bulk of the acts). Summer of Music is getting better and better!
I know it’s after Christmas but I heard Paul Simon’s new song “Getting Ready For Christmas Day” a couple times yesterday thought I’d share for those who haven’t heard it yet. While the title at first look and listen makes you think of celebrations, the truth is the song is about his Nephew and our troops fighting overseas during the holidays to protect our country. Please don’t forget during these happier times spent with family and friends the many men and women putting their lives on the line for us.
Paul Simon’s new album is due out in Spring 2011, can’t wait.
