Dave Matthews Band tickets are back for Dave Matthews Band Caravan tickets to see not just a concert, but a traveling three-day music festival in four select cities across the United States. This tour comes as a surprise since Dave Matthews Band announced they would not tour this year, but apparently the group could not resist heading back on the road to celebrate its 20th anniversary. DMB and friends (many, many friends) will play Bader Field in Atlantic City, NJ June 24-26, Lakeside Chicago, IL July 8-10, Governors Island in New York August 26-28, and the Gorge in George, WA September 2-4. Dave Matthews Band will play every night, but more than a dozen more bands will play every day. So, 2011 Dave Matthews Band tickets are also Ray Lamontagne concert tickets, Flaming Lips concert tickets, O.A.R. concert tickets, and much more.

DMB, like many a band before them, began in a bar. Dave Matthews, the group's namesake, worked as a bartender in Charlottesville, Virginia at Miller Bar. A regular insisted he record a demo album, recommending a few musicians he happened to know. Matthews had been reluctant to do so because, despite being an avid songwriter, he had reservations about performing before actual people. Thus, Dave Matthews Band began as a simple jam band in a bar playing a few songs written by the bartender in 1990.

The first few musicians to join the group included drummer Carter Beauford, saxophonist LeRoi Moore, and jazz trumpeter John D'earth. The group eventually grew, settling on a lineup including Dave Matthews, LeRoi Moore, Carter Beauford, Stefan Leesard, and Boyd Tinsley. DMB began touring the local music venues in 1991, their first being the Earth Day Festival.

Dave Matthews Band actually found their name because of this show. When registering for the festival, Dave Matthews simply gave his name in lieu of an actual band name. The organizer then decided to put them down as the Dave Matthews Band.

The group killed, planning gigs throughout the area at local music venues and frat parties at the local universities. Dave Matthews Band kept plugging away at concert dates, but had yet to put out an EP and sell concert tickets.

In 1993 the band finally released its debut album, Remember Two Things. The independent album became a hit on college radio stations, eventually leading to a rare platinum certification for an independent release, though it finally reached that mark nearly nine years later.

Dave Matthews Band signed RCA and almost immediately released its first major studio album, Under the Table and Dreaming. The singles "What Would You Say," "Satellite," and "Ants Marching" captured the public's attention and helped the album sell millions, eventually being certified platinum six times.
