Multi-platinum pop-rock legends Matchbox Twenty have announced that their new album, Where the Light Goes, will be released on May 26th via Atlantic Records. Produced by Greg Wattenberg with Paul Doucette and Kyle Cook, it will be the band’s first album since 2012’s North.
To celebrate the album announcement, Matchbox Twenty have unveiled the album’s first single, “Wild Dogs (Running In a Slow Dream).” The song is a classic Matchbox song, surging with energy and one that nests itself into your head and demands multiple listens through it’s massive chorus and hook that draws you in.
Matchbox Twenty — comprised of Rob Thomas, Brian Yale, Doucette, and Cook — will be hitting the road this summer for a massive tour, now appropriately dubbed the “Slow Dream Tour” after this latest single. Produced by Live Nation, the “Slow Dream Tour” will begin on Tuesday, May 16th at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC and conclude on Sunday, August 6th at Chicago’s Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre. This will be the first tour from the band since 2017’s “A Brief History of Everything” tour, which marked the 20th anniversary of their diamond-certified debut album, Yourself or Someone Like You.
The “Slow Dream Tour” will feature newly announced support from platinum-selling singer-songwriter Matt Nathanson for the first half of the tour and chart-topping singer-songwriter/producer Ben Rector on the second half.
In addition to the tour dates currently on sale, Matchbox Twenty is pleased to announce a pair of new concerts: Sunday, May 21st at Concord Pavilion in Concord, California and Saturday, May 27th at The Chelsea at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, NevaDA. Fan club members can purchase tickets for these newly added shows beginning Tuesday, March 21st at 10am local time, with general on sale starting Friday, March 24th at 10am local time here.
