Concert-industry magazine Pollstar ranked DMB the No. 8 top-grossing touring act of 2005, with $57 million earned over 65 shows. Only U2 sold more tickets in the US last year, according to Pollstar.

Prior to launching the tour, DMB will play an April 29 gig at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Last year, the band spearheaded a hurricane-relief fund-raising effort that was highlighted by a special appearance at the Denver area's famed Red Rocks amphitheater, which raised more than $1.5 million for Hurricane Katrina victims.

DMB performed four nights at Red Rocks last year, a stint that was documented on the 2-CD, 1-DVD package "Weekend on the Rocks," which hit stores in November. The group's most recent studio set is 2005's "Stand Up."
