The Dave Matthews Band has added nearly four months' worth of North American concerts to its touring scheduled, announced the band's website on Jaunary 26. The band will make its way across the US from May 28 to September 15 in support of its album Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King.

A full touring schedule - including an annual US summer tour - is a hallmark for the Dave Matthews Band, named by Billboard as one of the top touring acts of the ‘00s with a whopping 547 shows performed throughout the decade. The band is already set to begin an 18-city tour of Europe on February 16, beginning in Hamburg and wrapping up March 15 in Stockholm.

A gap in the band's US schedule between June 9 and June 14 is fueling speculation that the band is due to perform at the Bonnaroo Festival in Tennessee, scheduled for June 10-13. A lineup for that festival is expected by early February.
