More than 20 years ago Matchbox Twenty burst onto the music scene with hits including “If You’re Gone,” “Bent” and “3 A.M.”
The band is touring for the first time since 2017.
The tour will begin July 17 in Bethlehem, Pa., and come to Burgettstown’s S&T Bank Music Park on Aug. 26.
Special tour guest will be The Wallflowers, fronted by Jakob Dylan and known for songs such as “One Headlight” and “6th Avenue Heartache.”
“I’m proud to be a part of the greatest pop rock band in the world and I can’t wait to play with them again. Stepping on stage with Matchbox and sharing those songs with the fans feels as natural as breathing to me at this point,” says lead singer Rob Thomas.
