Matchbox Twenty coming to Vancouver in 2027: What to know about the concert

Matchbox Twenty has announced its 30th anniversary tour with a 52-date North American run that kicks off on May 15, 2027, in Birmingham, Ala., and ends on Aug. 12 in Grand Rapids, Mich. The group will make two Canadian stops on the tour, including Vancouver.

Since releasing Yourself or Someone Like You in 1996, the band featuring lead singer Rob Thomas, Brian Yale, Paul Doucette and Kyle Cook has topped the charts with hit singles such as 3AM, Push, Real World, Back 2 Good and Long Day, among others. Yourself or Someone Like You is now diamond-certified. The 12-times-platinum album was one of the best-selling releases in the 1990s.

Since that breakout smash, the band has gone on to build a catalogue of additional hit singles and sold more than 40 million records worldwide.
