It's been a remarkably quiet five months since Dave Matthews, singer/songwriter/guitarist and bandleader for the GRAMMY-winning jam band movement that is Dave Matthews Band, announced their first new studio album in six years and an extended summer tour. However, it seems the drought of information is now over, as Matthews revealed on April 25 that his cadre of merry pranksters' ninth studio album, Come Tomorrow, is officially due out on June 8.

While promotional singles have yet to be released, but Matthews has teased several new songs, including "Samurai Cop," at live shows as far back as FarmAid 2016. The band plans to debut much of the music from the new album during their North American tour, according to Billboard.
Additionally, all advance tickets purchased online for the band's 2018 summer tour will include a digital download or physical CD option as part of the purchase price, which fans will be able to redeem once Come Tomorrow is officially released.
