DMB Playing Australia in March

By Waldo Jaquith
At long last, Dave Matthews Band will be performing in Australia: at the East Coast International Blues and Roots Fest in Byron Bay in late March. The five-day event will include dozens of artists on four stages, notably Bebel Gilberto, George Clinton, Bo Diddly, Jack Johnson, Spearhead, George Thorogood, Sarah McLaughlan, and Violent Femmes. Tickets go on sle February 1, and a five-day pass is $240 U.S. The band previously announced a fall 2001 tour in Europe and Australia, but they were cancelled after the September 11th attacks. Thanks to Dylan for the news.
