The list of Dave Matthews Band 2010 summer tour dates has been released, and the city of Chicago is not on the list. But a Chicago date could still come later, as the band's planned tour schedule includes plenty of gaps for possible future dates.

The first batch of Dave Matthews Band 2010 summer tour dates runs from May through September and includes the usual group of amphitheaters and arenas, as well as a few stadiums, signaling that perhaps DMB wants to get back to playing larger stadium-sized venues more regularly.

The closest concert dates to the Chicago area are two in Noblesville, Indiana in June and two in East Troy, Wisconsin in July.

The list of Dave Matthews Band 2010 summer tour dates includes a stellar group of opening acts, including Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, the Zac Brown Band, and Raphael Saadiq.

The Dave Matthews Band were the number one touring act of the 2000s, according to industry magazine Pollstar, grossing more than half a billion dollars on the road.

DMB are nominated for two Grammy Awards at this weekend's ceremony, including Album of the Year. They will also perform on the telecast.

    The rumor is that they are going to be playing two nights at Wrigley Field in the fall. Those would be their Chicago shows.
