Dave Matthews Band at Gorge Amphitheatre

Kicking off Labor Day weekend at the Gorge, listening to "The Space Between", "Crash Into Me," or maybe even "Some Devil" is going to make it hard for the other days in the weekend to be equally memorable! If you only have a chance to catch one of the days of the event, as mentioned, Friday might be a great choice. The crowd and the band will be fresh still. Also, you won't have to deal with as much garbage around the grounds. Although, the staff does an amazing job of keeping "living conditions" decent within the Gorge Amphitheatre for the 3 days. You'll want to arrive early on this Friday regardless. That's going to give you a chance to find a spot near the main stage.

The crowd can get hectic once the show starts. That's obvious: you're having a chance to see one of your favorite bands sing live! If you're just here on Friday, arriving early allows you to do a walkabout. There are plenty of things, from food to merch, that are going to be made available in stands throughout the grounds. These walkabouts are certainly part of the experience that you don't want to pass up on.

The good thing about picking one day again and having that day be the first one is that you'll be able to catch everything! Who knows, maybe on Saturday, they'll run out of pretzels or that Dave Matthews Band T-shirt with the 2025 summer tour logo. That Elephant is unique to this year, so if you're looking for something to take home as a souvenir, some of these graphics commemorating the DMB's summer tour are likely going to be in high demand. Arrive early and take everything in, including the elements besides the music. Of course, you'll end the night with one of the best rock bands of all time. What's not to love about those Labor Day plans? It's Labor Dave around here, and it's going to be epic starting on this Friday, August 29th. Hit that get tickets button now!
