=== The 2020s ===
On May 4, 2020, the band announced that all of its 2020 summer dates would be moved to 2021 in light of the global [[COVID-19 pandemic]].

Throughout 2020, Matthews performed on various mutual aid livestreams from his homes in Seattle and Charlottesville, seen by over 400,000 live viewers. The band's YouTube channel broadcast weekly "DMB Drive-In" livestreams as a virtual summer tour, replaying many concerts from the band's history.

The band announced a reshuffled 2021 tour, becoming one of the first acts to confirm dates for 2021 in anticipation of loosening COVID-19 gathering restrictions.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Dave Matthews Band Announces Rescheduled 2021 Summer Tour|url=https://www.davematthewsband.com/news/dave-matthews-band-announces-resheduled-2021-summer-tour/|access-date=2021-07-27|website=Davematthewsband.com}}</ref> Dave Matthews Band made their return to the stage on July 23, 2021, at [[Coastal Credit Union Music Park]].
