Dave Matthews Band

Dave Matthews Band was the highest-ranked American headliner on Pollstar’s list of the “25 Most Popular Touring Artists of The Millenium,” coming in at No. 4. Since debuting in 1991, Dave Matthews Band has sold more than 25 million tickets, making them the second-largest ticket seller in history, and a combined 38 million CDs and DVDs. 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. This fall, the band will continue its partnership with Live Nation venues to further minimize the environmental footprint of its tour. 2026 marks 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 composted recycled or donated in previous years. Dave Matthews Band will once again join forces 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 this year’s tour, the band will have planted a total of 7 million trees by the end of 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.
