Dave Matthews Band 'Can't Stop.'
Fresh off a two-night stint headlining at Brazil's Best of Blues and Rock Festival, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers have returned stateside.
Starting June 11, the 'Ants Marching' rockers resume their summer 2025 tour that will send them to stadiums, arenas, amphitheaters, performing arts centers and pavilions all over North America from June through August.

That includes a trio of New York and New Jersey stops.
First up, the roots-y jam band extraordinaires are slated to pop into Long Island's Jones Beach Theater on Wednesday, June 11.
After that, Dave and co. 'march' into Saratoga Springs for a pair of shows at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center on Friday, July 18 and Saturday, July 19. Finally, they'll wrap the NY/NJ portion of their trek Camden, NJ's Freedom Mortgage Pavilion on Friday, July 25 and Saturday, July 26.
Per usual, the band likes to keep 'Daveheads' on their toes and mix things up at all shows. Based on our findings at Set List FM, their recent cover-heavy gig at New Jersey's PNC Bank Arts Center was completely different from their Maryland Merriweather Post Pavilion show. There's no constant either; some audiences will get 'Ants Marching' while others are treated to 'Crash Into Me.'

Dave Matthews Band new music
In May 2023, Dave Matthews Band dropped their tenth studio album 'Walk Around The Moon.'
Over 12 tracks, DMB delivers their trademark bluesy, folksy, rock sound along with a few new flourishes.

Personally, we're partial to the album's title track, the deceptively simple 'The Ocean and the Butterfly' and the rowdy, rollicking barnstorming good time of a song 'After Everything.'

Dennis Lehane says his goal with ‘Smoke' was to ‘look at chaos chaotically'
(Lehane also says audiences are 'way too smart now' for late episode reveals. He originally showed Dave starting a fire in the pilot, but that was too soon. Then he tried the third episode, but that was too long. 'It was like Goldilocks — the second episode was just right.') Advertisement The 59-year-old Boston native is best known for his literary crime novels like 'Mystic River,' 'Shutter Island,' and 'Gone Baby Gone,' and for depicting his hometown in all its complexities in 'The Given Day' and ' But Lehane, who broke into TV when he was recruited to write for 'The Wire,' has been returning to the screen more frequently of late, writing for 'Mr. Mercedes' and 'The Outsider' before developing ' Advertisement Still, Lehane isn't jumping into any old story, saying he turned down producer Kary Antholis four times for 'Blackbird.' When Antholis pitched a podcast about a serial arsonist that he'd hosted called 'Firebug,' Lehane wasn't that interested, in part because there'd previously been a poorly received HBO movie about the same man called 'Point of Origin.' 'But I loved the pathology of the real guy, John Orr, and the absolute insanity of being an arsonist who's also an arson investigator who's writing a book about an arson investigator chasing an arsonist with facts that only the real arsonist would know,' Lehane says. 'There was something so beautifully American about that.' (Note that Lehane speaks almost as profanely as his characters, so, for realism, you can periodically insert your own enthusiastic expletives.) Lehane kept one more detail from Orr's story: As a firefighter he'd once been trapped in a fire and he ran toward his own reflection, thinking it was another firefighter. 'I said, 'That's our opening, man.' That's the whole story, metaphorically speaking,' he recalls. 'Almost everything else I threw out. I just wanted to tell this story about emotional and psychological chaos, because that's the time we're living in right now.' The story is one of a white man with a grievance lifestyle, who loses himself to his own petty frustrations, something Lehane says he saw in friends growing up in Boston. 'I have friends who were angry about their life after being passed over for becoming a police officer and I'd think, 'Have you looked at your psych eval' and I'd want to say, 'You always ask everybody else to take ownership, so take ownership of who you are.'' Advertisement Lehane fleshed out the story with wholly fictional characters. Dave's unwelcome new partner, Michelle Calderone (Jurnee Smollett), is a dogged police detective with scars and ghosts of her own, who follows her instincts but also her own rules. Greg Kinnear in "Smoke." Apple TV+ Dave's boss Harvey (Greg Kinnear), who can be a charmer or a bully, is pressuring them for results, but he has blind spots of his own. Esposito (John Leguizamo) is Dave's former partner who now makes 'tasteful porn for discerning customers,' Lehane says wryly. And, most significantly, Freddy (Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine) is the second arsonist Dave and Michelle are chasing. While Dave's fires are typically set in supermarkets (Orr was dubbed the Frito Bandito arsonist) in a way that allowed people to escape, Freddy's rage propels him to attack individuals who seem happy, aiming to harm. 'There's this weird part of me that creates sympathetic monsters,' Lehane says. 'Freddy commits acts of pure evil and needs to be in jail. But he's a tragic guy, the loneliest man on earth. Dave is running around with his white victimization narration that I can't stand, where he's the victim. But Freddy truly is the victim of our society. He was vomited out into the world and never had a chance.' Freddy is loosely inspired by a Washington D.C., arsonist who said that working in fast food as an adult is akin to slavery, Lehane says. 'I kept that and the fact that he's African-American, so he's a perfect counterpoint to Dave.' Advertisement Amid the show's life-and-death stakes and explorations of racism, misogyny, and injustice is plenty of humor, especially in the banter between Egerton's, Smollett's, and Kinnear's characters. 'We need humor right now,' Lehane says. 'How else are we supposed to deal with the madness we're living in, with politicians being arrested for speaking out. We're watching the death of the Republic, literally. So you laugh because you don't want to cry. That's the best you can do.' Lehane, who emphasizes his collaborative approach to creating, says Kinnear kept encouraging him during the writing to deepen Harvey. 'He'd say, 'I don't feel Harvey yet,'' Lehane recalls. 'When I came up with his character's daughter, that's when we found him.' He views Egerton, who also starred in 'Black Bird,' as a 'creative partner. We push each other. We're a dangerous combination.' He points to a sex scene that might evoke (nervous) laughter if it didn't quickly become so shocking. Lehane says Egerton called one weekend and said the kinky scene 'needs a bit more. I said, 'More? Dave lights somebody's belly on fire. What the…'' Inspired, they went 'so far beyond the pale that we had to dial it back,' but the final result, with Dave dancing self-indulgently above his bound partner, captures something essential about the character. 'When we were trying to pick the song, Taron said, 'Since I was a little boy, my dream was to dance to David Bowie on screen.'' The song choice, 'Heroes,' further enhances Dave's delusions. Lehane says that his team really dove into how 'whacked out this story was.' 'People rarely embrace tonally wild shows, but we just decided to go for broke,' he adds. 'We're looking at chaos chaotically.' Advertisement It all started with that sex scene, when his producing partner's research uncovered the idea of 'streaking' or setting someone (safely) on fire. 'I said, 'No way,' but that's when the show really came into its own,' Lehane says. ''Seinfeld' became 'Seinfeld' with 'The Pony Remark' episode [where Jerry mentions hating anyone who had a pony and his cousin, who proudly had one, gets angry and soon dies]. We feel like 'Smoke' really becomes 'Smoke' with the streaking scene.'

Why Dave Portnoy thinks Americans are abandoning traditional news outlets
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy said that there is 'obviously big time distrust of legacy media' during an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital. Portnoy's comments come in response to a Fox Digital report that CNN staffers are worried about the future of the former most-watched cable network. 'It is obviously big-time distrust of legacy media,' Portnoy explained. 'And there's so many different ways to consume media. Whether that's online podcasts, some of it good, some of it bad, to be honest, you just have to be really careful where you're getting your information from. There's so many different people speaking now, and people can access it in so many ways.' CNN dominated the airwaves in the '90s, leading coverage on Baghdad and the O.J. Simpson trial. Since then, prime-time viewership has plummeted from the Ted Turner-founded network to third in ratings. On Monday, Variety reported that one of the network's most notable stars, Anderson Cooper, hired high-powered Hollywood agent Bryan Lourd of Creative Artists Agency, which may indicate Cooper is either looking to bolster his contract with CNN or potentially leave the network altogether. Cooper has been at CNN for more than 23 years. 5 Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy said that there is 'obviously big time distrust of legacy media' during an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital. Getty Images One Cable News Network staffer also told Fox, 'the mood remains really grim' and that 'people are uncertain' about what may come after an expected corporate restructuring by their parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery. Portnoy explained his thinking behind the shift in media, saying the internet has played a large role in where people get their information. 'The internet has given a way for people to fact-check and come to their own conclusions,' Portnoy added. 'You just don't have a couple of network TV anchors or chairs telling you what to think.' 5 Portnoy's comments come in response to a Fox Digital report that CNN staffers are worried about the future of the former most-watched cable network. Getty Images 5 'The internet has given a way for people to fact-check and come to their own conclusions,' Portnoy added. 'You just don't have a couple of network TV anchors or chairs telling you what to think.' FOX The Barstool Sports empire is a leading example of the change in how people interact with the media. The mostly podcast and social media-driven strategy has propelled the sports outlet into a giant, with Dave manning at the helm. Portnoy's infamous 'one bite' pizza reviews are one of the many bits that put Barstool on the map, which feature Dave testing slices of pizza and rating them accordingly. Many of his reviews have gone viral, and his scores can make or break pizzerias in New York City and across the country. Following the success of the pizza reviews, Dave launched the 'One Bite Pizza Festival' in 2023 in Brooklyn, and now plans to host the event for a third year in Randall's Island Park this September for thousands to try his top-rated pizza choices. The event has sold out each time the festival has been held. 5 On Monday, Variety reported that one of the network's most notable stars, Anderson Cooper, who has been at CNN for 23 years, is either looking to bolster his contract with CNN or potentially leave the network altogether. Getty Images 5 The Barstool Sports empire is an example of the change in how people interact with the media, according to reports. Bloomberg via Getty Images 'Like if you like pizza, obviously if you don't like pizza, forget about it, but everybody loves pizza,' Dave told Fox. 'We have the best pizzerias, 40 plus. We're always adding new ones. Like I just did this spectacular place series that went super-viral in New York City.' 'Tickets go on sale Friday, and then September 13th is the actual day, and if you like pizza you can't miss it,' Dave added. Creative Artists Agency did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
