In an unexpected turn this summer, the Dave Matthews Band will not be stopping in the Triangle on their summer tour. The band announced their usual massive tour which which has included a stop at Raleigh's Walnut Creek Amphitheater (through all of the sponsor name changes) since 1995.
As of right now, the dates run from late May to mid-September and the only North Carolina date is at Charlotte's Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre on Wednesday, July 21. Amos Lee will open the show. Tickets for the show go on sale to the general public on February 26 here. The fanclub pre-sale period starts on Thursday, January 28.
The band played the Raleigh amphitheatre last April and sold 12,200 tickets. That's certainly nothing to sneeze at considering current economic troubles, yet the band are certainly not as popular as they once were when they could sell out two consecutive nights. Either way, this is bad news for DMB's eastern North Carolina fans. Check out the tour dates below.
Dave Matthews Band is nominated for two Grammy Awards for "Album of the Year" and "Best Rock Album" for their latest release Big Whisky and the GrooGrux King.

The Warehouse announced that this year, all ampthitheatre shows will have a SRO Orchestra Pit in front of the stage. I wonder if Walnut Creek would not or could not accomodate this set up, thus no Raleigh show. This is pure speculation.
I'm disappointed (in who I don't know). Hopefully, having only one NC stop won't make it impossible to get tix for Charlotte.
