Dave Matthews & Co stole a page from the Perry Farrel book of festivals (Lollapalooza) and did him one better. This year, Dave Matthews Band is hosting four three day weekends of music across the U.S.
Rather than tour across the country and only get to have one or two openers, he's bringing the country to him and sharing the stage with many deserving acts. The A.C. and Chicago dates are completely booked up with the bands, the Governors Island NY & the Gorge (George, WA) shows are still being filled out.
Both Chicago and Atlantic City have G. Love, Ray LaMontange, Dave Matthews Band 3x, Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds, Michael Franti & Spearhead, O.A.R, Amos Lee, and David Gray.
Atlantic City seems to be the bigger party, with Fitz & the Tantrums, Guster, Damian Marley, Dr. Dog and Carolina Chocolate Drops, While also having a folk side with the Head and the Heart, Delta Spirit, and Lisa Hannigan,
However, Chicago seems to have the heavyweights with the Flaming Lips performing dark Side of the Moon, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, Soulive, Blind Pilot, Liz Phair, Moe, Drive By Truckers, and Gomez.
Tickets for each weekend are $195 for general admission, which is a steal considering Dave Matthews Band tickets are typically high priced for concerts. Add in the quality other bands and you have yourself quite a bargain.
If you still have some days off this summer. Make this happen! I've already committed to the Newport Folk Festival, so I'm out. Hopefully some of the McGurkMusic readers can keep us posted on the weekends!
