Matchbox Twenty has announced a 52-date North American tour celebrating the band’s 30th anniversary, including a performance at Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on July 13, 2027. The extensive run spans across amphitheaters and arenas throughout the United States and Canada.
The anniversary tour kicked off with an intimate performance at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, featuring songs from the band’s debut album alongside fan favorites. The group’s yearlong celebration also includes upcoming television appearances and festival performances.
An artist presale begins on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at 5:00 PM, followed by a Spotify presale earlier that same day at 10:00 AM. General public ticket sales open on Friday, October 23, 2026, at 10:00 AM through the band’s official website.
Formed in 1996, the band features members Rob Thomas, Brian Yale, Paul Doucette, and Kyle Cook. Their diamond-certified debut album Yourself or Someone Like You established the group with hit singles including “3AM,” “Push,” and “Real World.”
Over the span of three decades, Matchbox Twenty has sold more than 40 million records worldwide and earned multiple Grammy Award nominations. The group’s extensive catalog includes additional chart-topping hits such as “Bent,” “Unwell,” and “How Far We’ve Come.”
