Dave Matthews Band is back in action. Having taken off 2017, the group has just announced they will soon be releasing a new studio album backed up by a massive North American tour including a two-night run in Chicago.

DMB’s new album marks the band’s ninth studio release and the followup to their 2012 LP Away From The World. The group is currently putting the finishing touches on the album, which does not yet have an official release date.
