Dispatch fans in need of live renditions of their old favorites will be in luck this summer, as the jam band has booked a handful of U.S. shows, including three with indie rockers, Guster. The group is currently finishing up a European stint, but will return stateside come May for seven concert dates. First up will be a performance at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on May 29, followed by an appearance at the Wakarusa Music Festival in Ozark, Ark., alongside other acts like Widespread Panic, The Black Crowes, Of Monsters and Men, GROUPLOVE, and Umphrey's McGee. Incidentally, the performance is scheduled for the same day as a gig at the Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham, Ala., on May 30. June dates include Charter One Pavilion in Chicago (6/1), Mountain Jam in Hunter, N.Y. (6/6), Comcast Center in Mansfield, Mass. (6/8), and the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, Calif. (6/15).
2013 Dispatch tickets are on sale now for the band that often draws comparisons to Dave Matthews Band or Phish because of its unique blend of different genres, and of course, its ability to jam. Since ending a decade-long hiatus in 2011, the Boston natives have continued to book shows each year. Stay tuned for more Dispatch concert dates that may be added down the road.
