This will mark the band's 50th headlining performance at SPAC

Dave Matthews Band is bringing one of the most meaningful stops of its 2026 U.S. tour to the Capital Region, with two nights at Saratoga Performing Arts Center on July 17 and July 18, 2026 — a run that marks the band’s 50th headline performance at SPAC.

Few artists have a relationship with SPAC quite like Dave Matthews Band. Over decades of summer tours, SPAC has become one of the band’s most iconic venues, known for marathon sets, deep fan energy, and unforgettable nights on both the lawn and under the pavilion. Hitting the 50-show mark cements SPAC as one of the most important stops in DMB touring history.

The two-night Saratoga run lands during a stretch of extended residencies across the country, but the SPAC shows stand out as a true milestone — not just another tour date, but a celebration of a long-standing bond between the band and Upstate New York fans.

The 2026 tour continues DMB’s legacy as one of the most successful live acts of all time. The band ranks as the highest-placed American headliner on Pollstar’s list of the “25 Most Popular Touring Artists of the Millennium,” has sold tens of millions of tickets, and consistently delivers one of the most loyal live audiences in music.

Beyond the music, the 2026 tour also carries forward Dave Matthews Band’s deep commitment to sustainability. The SPAC shows will be part of the band’s ongoing On The Road to Zero Waste Tour, alongside continued partnerships with REVERB and The Nature Conservancy. In 2026, DMB will reach a new environmental milestone by planting its 7 millionth tree, reinforcing a mission that’s become as much a part of the tour experience as the music itself.
