Matchbox Twenty returns with new music and plenty of California shows
Matchbox Twenty is back with its first new music in more than a decade.
And the pop-rockers plan to showcase the material in an upcoming tour that includes a number of stops in California.
Matchbox Twenty — featuring Rob Thomas, Brian Yale, Paul Doucette and Kyle Cook — kicks off a lengthy string of Golden State dates with a show on May 21 at Concord Pavilion. From there, the group performs May 22 at the Hollywood Bowl, may 24 at Save Mart Center in Fresno, May 25 at Mechanics Bank Arena in Bakersfield, May 28 at FivePoint Amphitheatre in Irvine and May 30 at Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre in San Diego.
Tickets to the Concord show go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. March 24, livenation.com. Fan club members can buy ducats beginning 10 a.m. March 21.

These concerts are part of the band’s 50-plus-date Slow Dream Tour, which supports the group’s forthcoming fifth studio outing, “Where The Light Goes,” which will be released May 26 on Atlantic Records.
The band has just released the single “Wild Dogs (Running in a Slow Dream)” from the forthcoming album.
