"[Atlantic City's] location was really central. You’ve got good facilities, it’s not, you know, like 39 miles on some two-lane country road — that kind of vibe, you know, so it’s just the fact that it’s practical, there’s a lot of facilities and since we’re not doing like a camping thing we thought it would be good to be close to infrastructure so the fans do have like the backbone of a place like Atlantic City at their disposal."
Plus African-American Heritage Museum of Southern NJ hosts African basket exhibit; the Album of the Week; and Drew Toonz
Dave Matthews Band 'Live in Atlantic City' is available for pre-ordering. The 2-CD set will be released Dec. 13, and will include the band’s headlining concert on June 26, the final night of the Atlantic City DMBC festival.
If you are driving, plan your route accordingly. Exit 2 off the Atlantic City Expressway will be closed to traffic so those going Downbeach or to Tropicana and Hilton casinos are recommended to use Exit 5 and follow Route 322/40/Black Horse Pike into the city....
'For the Dave Matthews Band Caravan, we’re doing Pink Floyd’s album The Dark Side of the Moon. It should be pretty absurd.'
We understand that a three-day hullabaloo like the Dave Matthews Band Caravan may bring folks to town who have never been here before, and may not have a clue as to what to do before and after the bands perform — or perhaps may want to take a break from the Bader Field confines to see or do something else.
The city has committed to a one-year deal with Starr Hill Presents to put on this festival in June at Bader Field, the city's old municipal airport (and the first one in the world). However, said Mayor Langford, "We've signed a one-year contract with the hope of a long-term relationship." The mayor added that he thinks this is a great use of Bader Field, a large stretch of city-owned land that has been on the market since it closed a few years ago.
