Legendary musicians return to Alabama on 2025 tour: ‘One of the biggest bands in the world’

Dave Matthews Band has announced more than 30 dates for its spring and summer tour, including a show in Alabama.

The iconic jam band — and recent inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame — is set to perform on June 24 at the new Coca-Cola Amphitheater in Birmingham.

Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. concert go on sale Friday, Feb. 21, at 10 a.m. CT via Ticketmaster/Live Nation. Prices are $95, $135, $149.50 and $179.50, according to promoter Live Nation.

If you don’t want to wait a month to buy tickets, members of the band’s fan club, the DMB Warehouse Fan Association, have access to a pre-sale that started at noon today. (Membership costs $35 per year.)

DMB’s 2025 tour begins April 27 with an appearance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, and runs through Aug. 31, with a three-night stint at The Gorge Amphitheatre in Quincy, Washington. The Birmingham show is the only tour stop listed for Alabama.

DMB also is set to play in Southern cities such as Charleston, South Carolina (June 20-21, Credit One Stadium); Alpharetta, Georgia (June 25, Ameris Bank Amphitheatre); and Richmond, Virginia (July 15-16, Allianz Amphitheater at Riverfront). See the full list of tour dates here.

Dave Matthews Band is a favorite in Alabama, with a long history of concerts in the state. The band performed in recent years at The Wharf in Orange Beach and the Orion Amphitheater in Huntsville, and made its last appearance in the Birmingham area in May 2019 at Oak Mountain Amphitheatre in Pelham.

DMB features singer-guitarist Matthews, guitarist Tim Reynolds, bassist Stefan Lessard, saxophone player Jeff Coffin, trumpeter Rashawn Ross, drummer Carter Beauford and keyboard player Buddy Strong.

The band has 10 studio albums to its credit, 1994-present, along with several live albums and an extensive Live Trax series that’s available via the DMB website. Signature songs include “Ants Marching,” “Jimi Thing.” “Satellite,” “Crash Into Me,” “Two Step,” “Tripping Billies,” “Don’t Drink the Water,” “Dancing Nancies” and more.

“Dave Matthews Band harnessed an eclectic sound and relentless touring schedule to become one of the biggest bands in the world,” the Rock Hall website says. “Long, intricate solos, non-traditional rock & roll instruments, unique time signatures and an electric live show trademark their unique sound.”

DMB is the first jam band scheduled for the Coca-Cola Amphitheater, a $46 million concert venue that’s currently under construction in Birmingham.

The 9,380-seat amphitheater should be ready for the public in June 2025, according to organizers. Up to 20 shows are expected for the debut season, focusing on country, classic rock, rap and more.

The amphitheater — owned by the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex and managed by Live Nation — previously announced 12 concerts for 2025, ranging from comedian Matt Rife (June 22) to country star Jason Aldean (Sept. 26).
