Tickets Go On Sale July 17 For September Concerts
CBS Chicago
The Dave Matthews Band has confirmed two dates in September for concerts at Wrigley Field.
Concert promoter Live Nation announced Tuesday that the Dave Matthews Band will appear on Friday, Sept. 17, and Saturday, Sept. 18, at the ballpark, with Jason Mraz joining them as a special guest.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 17. They will be available through Tickets.com or by calling (800) THE-CUBS.
The Dave Matthews Band was supposed to play at the ballpark in 2007, but the date was called off. The band gained a dose of infamy in Chicago in 2004, when one of its tour bus drivers dumped 800 pounds of human waste onto a sightseeing boat in 2004. The band later agreed to pay $200,000 dollars to an environmental fund to settle a lawsuit in the incident.
Officials say they need council approval by next month to secure a place in the band's schedule. The concert precedent began in 2005 with a pair of Labor Day concerts by Jimmy Buffett.
The band agreed to pay $200,000 dollars to an environmental fund to settle a lawsuit filed after one of its tour bus drivers dumped 800 pounds of human waste onto a sightseeing boat in 2004.
The first time Wrigley was used for summer concerts was in 2005, when Jimmy Buffett played. The Police also played the ballpark in 2007, and Elton John and Billy Joel sat down at dueling pianos last year.
John and Joel were supposed to return to Wrigley Field this summer, but their concert was canceled.
