The only sad part of it all are the fans that are use to the annual gigs, which has become a tradition.<\/p>\n<p>On their official website, the group has posted, &#8220;We feel lucky that our tours are a part of so many people&#8217;s lives, and wanted to give everyone as much notice as possible,\u201d and went on to say, &#8220;We&#8217;re excited to make this summer one of our best tours yet, and look forward to returning to the road in 2012.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They gave the announcement just prior to beginning their 2010 summer tour. The tour will hit 51 venues beginning with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/venues\/comcast-theatre-formerly-meadows-music-theater-tickets\">Comcast Theatre<\/a> in Hartford, Connecticut for a two-night stand on May 28 &amp; 29 and will end on September 15 in St. Paul, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/Cityguides\/MN\">Minnesota<\/a> at the Xcel Energy Center.<\/p>\n<p>Pollstar named the Dave Matthews Band the #1 touring artist of the past decade. In only 10 years from 2000 to 2009, the band brought in close to $259 million with tickets sales of 11.6 million. During this same time period, Billboard Boxcore estimated the group drew $505 million and 11.2 million tickets, which does not include any gigs at festivals.<\/p>\n<p>More than likely due to the economy, 2010 tickets sales have been down, but still debuted at the #1 event ticket overall during the week of February 28 but dropped to #11 in March. Last year many venues were sold out, but this is not the case this touring round. A year break may just be what the band needs and hopefully the economy will turn around, which will certainly get a rise in ticket sales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dave Matthews Band has been touring for close to two decades, but think it is time to take a year\u2019s break.
