The perennial SPAC favorite musical group and the controversial comedian join the growing list of acts playing Saratoga Springs this summer.

The legendary jam band — with 49 shows behind it at Saratoga Performing Arts Center — is a summer staple at SPAC, its loyal fans having set the record for most sold-out shows at the 25,000-person venue — not surprising for a band that has sold 38 million albums and more than 25 million concert tickets since debuting in the 1990s.

Dave Matthews Band will be making their annual return to Saratoga Performing Arts Center. The shows are scheduled for July 18 and 19.
