"Dave Matthews Band has decided to cancel the international tour dates previously planned for November and December. In light of recent global events, the band, their crew, and management all feel it important to be close to family and friends. At this time, no plans have been made to reschedule the canceled engagements..."
The following tour stops were affected:

London Date Reinstated
The Monday show scheduled for Hanover Grand in London was originally included in the cancelled shows, but the band announced on November 2nd that the show has now been reinstated, but only as a solo, acoustic performance by Dave. Due to the venue's small size, tickets were sold on a lottery basis ending Wednesday.
