Multi-platinum, superstar hit making pop-rockers Matchbox Twenty return today with new single “Wild Dogs (Running In A Slow Dream),” marking their first new music release in over a decade. Listen HERE. The song arrives alongside the announcement of the band’s forthcoming fifth studio album, “Where The Light Goes”, arriving May 26 via Atlantic Records. Produced by Gregg Wattenberg with Paul Doucette and Kyle Cook, the album finds the band surging with energy for another great batch of real, relevant, and relatable songs. 

The band – Rob Thomas, Brian Yale, Paul Doucette, and Kyle Cook — will be hitting the road in North America this May for their 50+ date “Slow Dream Tour.” Produced by Live Nation, the tour will begin on Tuesday, May 16 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC and conclude on Sunday, August 6 at Chicago’s Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre. The outing is the band’s first since 2017’s “A Brief History of Everything” tour which marked the 20^th anniversary of their Diamond-certified debut album “Yourself or Someone Like You”.

Matchbox Twenty has sold over 40 million records worldwide, dominated charts, garnered multiple GRAMMY Award nominations, and played to millions of fans in arenas, amphitheaters, and stadiums across continents.

Earning hits in each of the last three decades, Matchbox has gone from perennially dominating radio airwaves and ruling MTV to piling up streams in the billions, speaking to the enduring appeal of their music. Fueled by such classic songs as “Real World,” “Back 2 Good” and the No. 1 smash hits “Push” and “3AM,” 1996’s Diamond-certified “Yourself or Someone Like You” proved a worldwide sensation and instantly established the band as global superstars. 2000 saw the band release the four-times Platinum “Mad Season”, containing the No. 1 singles “Bent” and “If You’re Gone.”  Their third release, “More Than You Think You Are”, also was certified double-Platinum and featured the No. 1 hit, “Unwell.” 2007’s greatest hits compilation album with six new songs, “Exile On Mainstream” yielded yet another No. 1 track, “How Far We’ve Come,” while 2012’s “North”, exploded into the top position on the Billboard 200 release – Matchbox Twenty’s first-ever chart-topper and No. 1 debut.

Now nearly eleven years later, the band sounds refreshed as ever on “Where The Light Goes”, benefitting from the musicians’ respective solo journeys. Rob Thomas has proven one of the most highly decorated artists of recent years – releasing five solo albums and receiving three GRAMMY Awards, 11 BMI Awards, the first-ever Songwriters Hall of Fame Hal David Starlight Award, two Billboard “Songwriter of the Year” honors, and top 5 placement on Billboard’s Top 20 Hot 100 Songwriters (2000-2011). Meanwhile, Paul Doucette has scored and contributed original music to film and television series such as Utopia, For All Mankind, and more.
