===The 2010s=== {{main|Dave Matthews Band Caravan}} The year 2011 marked the 20th anniversary of the band. In March 2010, DMB announced that they would not tour in 2011, the first year in 20 without a scheduled show. On January 19, 2011, the band announced on their website, "2011 is our 20th anniversary as a band and we want to celebrate by playing music together. While we are still taking the year off from touring, we have decided to plan four multi-day, multi-artist music events that will take place this summer. We will be sending out save the date emails and announcing more information soon but we wanted to share the news with our fans first." On February 22, the first show was announced as being at [[Bader Field]] in [[Atlantic City, New Jersey]], with [[David Gray (British musician)|David Gray]], [[Ray LaMontagne]], [[The Flaming Lips]], [[O.A.R.
