More Matchbox Twenty

Matchbox Twenty will finally return to Australia in February 2024 with their first dates down under since November 2012.  Goo Goo Dolls will be coming along for the ride.

Last month, Matchbox Twenty founding members Rob Thomas and Paul Doucette appeared on The Plug podcast with Neil Griffiths and dropped the news that they were planning an Australian tour .

In the last two minutes of the podcast, Thomas and Doucette teased, “We will be boots on the ground in Australia next year… we’ll be bringing some good friends; that is happening.” You can check out the full podcast episode here .

The pair have made good on that tease, as today, TEG Van Egmond and Matchbox Twenty can announce an extensive 10-date Australian tour. 

The band kick off their Australian tour in Perth on Tuesday, 13 February, before heading to Adelaide, Melbourne, the Yarra Valley, Wollongong, Sydney, Canberra, Newcastle, the Gold Coast and Brisbane.

The Telstra pre-sale commences at 2 pm on Wednesday, 17 May, until 2 pm Friday, 19 May. The general public on-sale begins at 9 am local time on Tuesday, 23 May. Find tickets here and the full tour dates below.

“It’s so incredibly exciting to announce that Matchbox Twenty are heading over to entertain Australian audiences in February,” Christo Van Egmond , Managing Director of TEG VAN EGMOND, said in a statement. “Australia is the band’s second highest-selling market! So many fond memories are bound to resurface while hearing these two brilliant bands perform their classic songs live.

“Few acts have dominated the contemporary music landscape in this country, from the mid-’90s right through the 2000s, quite like Matchbox Twenty, and the same could be said for Goo Goo Dolls. A magical night is guaranteed.”

“Performing on stage with your mates that you’ve been in a band with for decades is such a privilege and it’s something we never take for granted, especially these days. Our Australian tour follows a massive 50-plus date US tour for Matchbox Twenty, so we’ll definitely be match-fit and ready to rock your socks off as well. It’s been way too long since I’ve seen all your Aussie faces. Already looking forward to February!”

Robert Thomas is the recipient of three Grammy Awards, just for the triple-platinum hit single “Smooth” alone. He is a fifth of the band Matchbox Twenty, who have released hit singles consistently since 1995.

After being in the band Matchbox Twenty for ten years, he embarked on his own career, releasing a body of material written by himself. His debut album “…Something to Be” made it to number 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, whilst the debut single from the album entitled “Lonely No More” made it to number 6 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Building on his chart success, he appeared at the Live 8 concert in Philadelphia, singing on his own, and also a duet of “Higher Ground” with Stevie Wonder. He made an appearance on the MTV Katrina Relief Concert, which aired on September 10th 2005. On his first solo tour entitled the Something to Be tour, he was joined by Jewel and Toby Lightman.

His single “Streetcorner Symphony” in fact came from featuring in promotion ads on the network, ABC of its Thursday night lineup. Thomas released the single “Little Wonders” which featured on the Disney film “Meet the Robinsons”. The single reached number 5 on the Mediabase Hot Adult Contemporary chart.

In 2007, Thomas returned to his band Matchbox Twenty to release a brand new album, “Exile on Mainstream”. From the album, they released the three singles “How Far We’ve Come”, “All Your Reasons” and “These Hard Times”.

“Her Diamonds” was the first release from his forth-coming sophomore album “Cradlesong”. He was fortunate enough to perform the track on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “Cradlesong” was ultimately released on June 30th 2009. It debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200.

Thomas was invited to be a guest performer on Daryl Hall’s concert series, “Live from Daryl’s House”, the pair performed the Matchbox Twenty hit singles “3 AM” and “Disease”, and then his solo songs “Someday” and “Ever the Same”. The rest of their set list consisted of the Hall and Oates hit singles “She’s Gone” Kiss on My List” and Marvin Gaye’s, “I Heard It Through The Grapevine”

Live reviews

I've been following Rob Thomas for almost 20 years with both matchbox twenty and solo tours, and this tour was just as exceptional of the other times I've seen Rob. He puts on a high energy performance everytime. He's very fan friendly and interacts with the crowd often.

Rob's opening act, Vinyl Station, were exceptional too. Hailing from Phoenix, these guys are super talented. I'd equate them of a cross between Radiohead and Coldplay. Their songs are heartfelt and Matthew has a beautiful voice. They are also very fan friendly, taking time both between sets and after to talk to the crowd, sign CDs, and take photos.

The Louisville Palace Theater is absolutely beautiful and coincidentally, the theater I saw matchbox twenty in during their North Winter Tour 2013.

The Set list:

Matchbox Twenty was a hugely successful 90s rock band and frontman Rob Thomas used that momentum to launch his successful solo career. But in all honesty, Matchbox Twenty was successful because of Thomas, and it wasn’t so much a solo career as an extension of what he was already doing. He had established himself so well by writing songs for the band, as well as for various other pop-stars like Tom Petty and, more recently, Taylor Hicks. The guy is so multi-talented, playing sold-out shows at huge venues to a crowd that absolutely goes mental when he sings.

I caught him at the Red Rocks Amphitheater’s summer performances, which is quite possible the most beautiful setting you could possibly ask for. The set-up for the show made them really small due to the massiveness of the stage, but the sound was perfect and I never had a moment where I couldn’t hear his distinctive voice. The added feature of having a live band really kicked his songs up a notch. He played an hour long set, in which “we’re going to cram as many songs as we possible can before they kick us off the stage,” resulting in the crowd going wild. Solid show from beginning to end!

Rob Thomas, best known as the primary vocalist and songwriter for Matchbox Twenty. He is an incredibly critically esteemed artist due to lending his songwriting to the likes of Tom Petty, Willie Nelson, Mick Jagger and Santana, the collaboration with the latter saw him win three Grammy awards.

So with an impressive solo discography, a successful band and a host of collaborators one may wonder exactly what Thomas would play during his live performance. This curiosity sees his shows continue to sell out globally and keeps the man onstage doing what he adores. The crowd cheers loudly as he steps into view and proudly takes the microphone for 'Mockingbird' and 'Sunday Morning, New York Blue'. The audience remains responsive to the artist and Rob enjoys interacting with them throughout his show, the biggest cheer of the night thus far is for 'Disease' by Matchbox Twenty which Rob has stripped back to a more acoustic shell.

This reinterpretation means the gig has a nice level of consistency and the crowd cheer, sing and applaud in equal measure for his own hits such as 'Lonely No More' as well as Matchbox Twenty's 'Bright Lights'.

With his backing band bringing the roof down behind him and the flashing strobe lights bouncing of all the walls, Rob Thomas’s concert was as spectacular as I had imagined it to be, if not more so. The whole stage was a spectacle of light, sound and colour that added to the crazy and electric atmosphere of the show, allowing the audience to really be thrust into Thomas’ music and his world. We were all there to see the man himself, and amongst all the craziness he stood out as only he knows how. Thomas is the recipient of an incredible three Grammy Awards after all, not to mention the lead singer of hit 90s band Matchbox Twenty, a band that achieved huge success and largely because of Thomas’ song writing and vocal skills. Thomas took to the stage like a dolphin in water, at ease in his natural habitat. He put his years of experience to good use and delighted the crowd all night, performing hit singles such as ‘Smooth’ and ‘Lonely No More’ which he knew would have us begging for more.

Although he was ill, had some sort of cold and he could barely talk, Rob Thomas killed it! He is absolutely amazing and a complete trooper. I love when a musician still performs a show, instead of cancelling which is what he was going to do, and it sticks in your mind forever.

Artists like Rob Thomas truly love what they do, and it shows. Poor guy was so sick! But he did NOT disappoint! He played extra songs just for us. The entire audience was on their feet for the majority of the show, didn't leave early or start packing up until he was done.

This was truly a concert I will never forget! And I will definitely see Rob Thomas (and Matchbox 20) again and again!

xo and thanks Rob!!!

Rob Thomas knows how to entertain a crowd. From his opening song off his new album CHIP TOOTH SMILE, I LOVE IT got the audience screaming to his end song, THIS IS HOW A HEART BREAKS, where the fans were bouncing in unison with this energetic man. His undulating moves throughout kept unending screams of adulation just proving how hypnotic and sexy this guy can be. Thank you Rob Thomas and your band for a concert to remember. The new addition to the band of the goo goo dolls saxophonist is a well worthy addition whatever the cost. A sax added into the mix was great. Again. Thank you Rob Thomas and your band, outstanding night in Salt Lake City!

hawley-bagley-doyle’s profile image

What an amazing show! The venue was smaller than most which made it very intimate. Our seats were some of the best value for the distance. We could almost touch him if we wanted to!

The actual song choice was great. Thomas chose a lot of his hits from his early solo career along with his time in Matchbox. There was hardly a song where everyone wasn't dancing to or singing along.

On one of his songs, he jumped off stage and began running around the crowd and the audience went nuts!. Overall, an amazing intimate performance which made for a memorable experience. Would highly recommend!

dcherupalla’s profile image

Rob of course was amazing like usual ,I been to probably a dozen shows between Rob and matchbox 20 ,and last night was right up with the rest for a great time to forget what's going on in this crazy world.Rob really connected with the audience like he always does.his time singing away from the stage about halfway into crowd was for sure a highlight.( could reach out and touch him!! I just love his music he gives it his all . since the first time I seen Matchbox in 98 till now and sure beyond .He is my favorite singer/ song writer..can't wait till next time!!!

TammyJeffers’s profile image

Wow not only a great songwriter and believe me i am very critical as i am also a songwriter, but also a uniquely genuine person who made me feel like i was the only person in the room during the performance i felt he noticed me there, even though i was in the back, his performance of his songs lacked nothing it may as well have been in Madison square garden. this was a birthday present to my lovely wife Lori, man she was stoked.

Thanks Rob and the whole crew from SongKick

we love you guys

peace Jeff Denny

Wow! I’ve seen many concerts in my time but this has to have been one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Rob Thomas is an incredible performer and musician. He engages the audience, sounds amazing live, and performed more songs than any other act I’ve seen live.

I was pleased with both opening acts and am now tuned in to performers I may have never listened to otherwise. If you have an opportunity to see Rob Thomas live, do not pass it up. You will not be disappointed!

Gloria Brancatisano / April 30, 2019

Rob Thomas is heading to Australia this November

It's set to be a hot one....some might say it'll be like seven inches from the midday sun. Smooth, Rob Thomas, real smooth.

See available tickets

Can you believe it? Multi award-winning singer-songwriter Rob Thomas is heading to Australian stages this November, and we have all the info you need to make sure you get there.

Following the release of his fourth solo album  Chip Tooth Smile, Matchbox Twenty frontman Rob Thomas will make a welcome return to our stages for a trio of very special a day on the green performances.

We’re sure you don’t need us to run through the list for you, but among his absolute swag of hits are solo classics like Lonely No More, This Is How A Heart Breaks , Her Diamonds, Streetcorner Symphony, Little Wonders  and Matchbox Twenty favourites Push, 3AM, If You’re Gone, Unwell, How Far We’ve Come  and Bent,  as well as Smooth , his worldwide smash hit collab with Santana.

With a back catalogue this huge, it’s sure to be a real task narrowing down which tunes to play, but fans can definitely expect a mixed bag of favourites from across Thomas’ 30+ year career alongside a taste of new tracks lifted from his latest album when he arrives.

The album,  Chip Tooth Smile,  is another autobiographical look into the songwriter’s life. From the grief of losing close friends to embracing the idea of getting older, this is a deep dive into the life of Rob Thomas since he released  The Great Unknown back in 2015.

Matchbox Twenty Announce 2024 Australian Tour

By Music Feeds

Matchbox Twenty will return to Australia for a lengthy run of headline shows in February 2024. It’ll be the Florida band’s first Australian tour since 2012, and they’ll be bringing Goo Goo Dolls along for the ride. The 90s pop band, led by singer and songwriter Rob Thomas , have scarcely toured since 2012, but they’ll be launching a North American tour later this month.

Titled the ‘Slow Dream’ tour, the tour announcement comes in the lead up to Matchbox Twenty’s fifth studio album, Where the Light Goes , which is due out on Friday, 26th May. The tour gets its name from the album’s lead single, ‘Wild Dogs (Running in a Slow Dream)’, which came out in March 2023.

Matchbox Twenty – ‘Wild Dogs (Running in a Slow Dream)’

The Australian tour begins in Perth on Tuesday, 13th February. Matchbox Twenty and the Goo Goo Dolls will travel to Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra before winding up in Brisbane on Tuesday, 27th February. The tour itinerary also includes a show at Yarra Valley’s Rochford Wines, and arena shows in Wollongong, Newcastle and the Gold Coast.

Rob Thomas has kept busy during Matchbox Twenty’s downtime, releasing three solo albums since the band’s most recent effort, 2012’s North . Thomas made headlines during his 2016 Australian tour for a racist comment directed at Indigenous Australians . Thomas apologised for the insensitive remark and had no trouble drawing crowds to his 2019 solo tour.

The band’s touring partners the Goo Goo Dolls have been relatively prolific in recent years, releasing five albums between 2010 and 2022, as well as the 2020 Christmas album, It’s Christmas All Over .
