Dave Matthews Starts 2026 Tour with Four Covers & One Live Debut

Tour or event poster for Dave Matthews Starts 2026 Tour with Four Covers & One Live Debut

Dave Matthews got a jump on summer by kicking off his 2026 Summer Tour more than a month before the estival solstice, but who can blame him? When you have so much love to give and music to play, who can wait?

Likewise when you’ve performed over 300 tunes in your career, some of them are bound to be covers.

Over the first four shows of Dave’s Summer Tour he has performed a wide variety of cuts from their 10 albums, as well as a handful of crowd pleasing covers.

But in Austin on Monday, (5/11), for the first number of the encore he live debuted a new song he had been working on when “terrible things happened in the beautiful city of Minneapolis.”
