Dave Matthews Band Caravan was a series of concert festivals headed by the Dave Matthews Band. The four festivals, occurring during the summer of 2011, took the place of DMB's usual summer tour, after the band announced its intentions to take time off from touring the previous year. The first festival took place at Bader Field in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The second festival was at Chicago's Lakeside. The third stop of the DMB Caravan took place at Governors Island in New York, New York, but was rescheduled after Hurricane Irene hit the New York area the same weekend. On September 1, it was announced that the dates were rescheduled, while the venue changed to Randall's Island. The last stop was The Gorge in Washington. Each festival is 3 days long, with each show featuring a full set from the Dave Matthews Band. Various other acts will be performing on different stages prior to DMB's set.

DMB played a very diverse catalog at these shows, and also played many new covers, including Led Zeppelin's Good Times Bad Times and Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion. DMB has also widened their own personal catalog of songs by performing older, rarer numbers such as Kill The King, Shotgun, Joy Ride, and The Best Of What's Around. The set lists, as of Atlantic City and Chicago, have an almost climactic sense to them, with sets building up to the third and final night.

On March 9, 2011, Dave Matthews Band Caravan announced that its first performance would take place at Bader Field in Atlantic City, New Jersey on June 24–26. The lineup of performers was soon announced after, along with ticket information, lodging, and transportation suggestions.
