Overview
Dave Matthews Band is the highest-ranked American headliner on Pollstar’s list of the “25 Most Popular Touring Artists of The Millenium,” coming in at No. 4. The group has sold 19.5 million tickets in the past 25 years and is one of only three artists in the top 25 with more than 1,000 shows recorded in the box-office archives since 2001. Since debuting in 1991, Dave Matthews Band has sold a combined 38 million CDs and DVDs and more than 25 million tickets, making them the second-largest ticket seller in history.
Named as a UN Environment Goodwill Ambassador in 2019, Dave Matthews Band has a long history of reducing its environmental footprint, going back to its first shows in 1991. The band is renewing its partnership with Live Nation venues to further minimize the environmental footprint of its tour. This summer’s shows will mark the third year of the “On The Road To Zero Waste Tour,” which achieved a milestone of over 90% of fan-generated waste at Live Nation venues reused, composted, recycled, or donated in previous years. Dave Matthews Band will also join forces again with environmental nonprofit REVERB, celebrating 21 years of partnership focused on making the music industry more sustainable and fan-driven action more measurable.
In 2026, Dave Matthews Band continues its long‑standing support of The Nature Conservancy’s global reforestation efforts. Seven years strong, this work is rooted in a simple belief that healthy forests help create a healthier planet. With 6 million trees already planted, DMB is committing to plant 1 million more this year, bringing the total to 7 million trees in 2026. These trees help rebuild critical forests that clean our air and water, provide habitat for wildlife, and support a more stable climate for future generations.
