There are less than 20 opportunities to see Matchbox Twenty in the U.S. remaining this year.
The group’s ‘Slow Dream Tour,’ which comes on the heels of their 2023 album “Where The Light Goes,” has just 14 shows remaining on its sprawling tour calendar.
Thankfully for New York fans, it isn’t too late to catch Rob Thomas and co. live.
They’re slated to perform at Long Island’s Jones Beach Theater on July 18, Syracuse’s St. Josephs Health Amphitheater on July 29, Saratoga Springs’ Saratoga Performing Arts Center on July 30 and Darien Center’s Darien Lake Performing Arts Center on Aug. 1.
And if you haven’t grabbed last-minute tickets yet, you can still scoop them up for cheap to see the timeless rockers live.
At the time of publication, we found some tickets going for as low as $24 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Not a bad price to hear mega hits like “Push,” “Unwell,” “3 A.M.,” “How Far We’ve Come” and “If You’re Gone.”
Plus, by our estimation, their new album really is something special and needs to be heard live.

Matchbox Twenty new music
This past year, Rob Thomas and his backing band dropped their fifth studio album “Where The Light Goes.”
Coming in at a tight 45 minutes, the band veers away from the straightforward power pop they’ve become known for.
Instead, Matchbox Twenty embraces the orchestral, twinkling pianos, afrobeats and duets.
The end result is something unlike anything they’ve released before.
Standout tracks include the joyous album opener “Friends,” the hypnotic bop “The Queen Of New York,” and the deceptively simple “I Know Better.”
If you want to listen to the record for yourself, you can find it here.
