Dave Matthews Band Performs Ants Marching Opener at Nationwide Arena Columbus

Venue: Nationwide Arena Location: Columbus, Ohio, United States Date: November 16, 2024

When the Dave Matthews Band took the stage on November 16, 2024, at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, they were riding high on the release of "Walk Around the Moon," which had come out earlier that year. This album reflected their signature blend of jazz, rock, and folk, showcasing expanded instrumentation and rich lyrical themes. It’s interesting to note that by this point in their career, the band had built a reputation for electrifying live performances, with "Ants Marching" often serving as a powerful opener. This song, originally from their 1994 debut album, "Remember Two Things," captures not just the band’s early essence but also their enduring appeal over the decades. Fans at the arena that night experienced not just a performance, but a celebration of the band's incredible journey and their knack for connecting deeply through music.
