Matchbox Twenty news

Matchbox Twenty's new single “Wild Dogs (Running In A Slow Dream),” marks its first new music release in over a decade.

The song arrives alongside the announcement of the band’s forthcoming fifth studio album, Where The Light Goes, due May 26 via Atlantic Records. It was produced by Gregg Wattenberg with Paul Doucette and Kyle Cook. 

The band – Rob Thomas, Brian Yale, Paul Doucette, and Kyle Cook — will be hitting the road this May for their 50+ date spring/summer Slow Dream Tour. The outing is the band’s first since 2017’s "A Brief History of Everything" tour which marked the 20th anniversary of their Diamond-certified debut album Yourself or Someone Like You.

The Slow Dream Tour will feature support from Platinum-selling singer-songwriter Matt Nathanson for the first half of the tour and chart-topping singer-songwriter/producer Ben Rector on the second half.

In addition to the tour dates currently on sale (see below and at matchboxtwenty.com), Matchbox Twenty has added a pair of new concerts: May 21 at Concord Pavilion in Concord, CA and Saturday, May 27 at The Chelsea at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, NV. Fan club members can purchase tickets for these newly added shows beginning Tuesday, March 21 at 10am local time, with general on sale starting Friday, March 24 at 10am local time at LiveNation.com.

The band is also working with VNUE's DiscLive to offer fans limited-edition "instant" collectible CD sets and digital downloads from each show of the tour.
