The pre-order for Away From The World is underway now at . The album will be available in CD, digital and vinyl formats.

A super-deluxe edition will include the deluxe CD, a DVD, a 2012 tour photo book and more. Individuals who pre-order any configuration of the album will receive five bonus tracks, recorded live on Dave Matthews Band’s 2012 summer tour, upon the release of Away From The World. Members of The Warehouse (the group’s official fan association) who pre-order the album will receive eight bonus tracks.

Dave Matthews Band has been playing several songs from the forthcoming record on its current tour, including “Mercy,” which will be the first single.

The summer outing will conclude on September 9 with a show at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA. See below for itinerary or visit #/tour for further details.

Rolling Stone hailed Dave Matthews Band as the “kings of summer” in a recent “On The Road” feature, praising the mixture of new tunes and rarities they played at the sold-out tour opener. “‘Gaucho,’ a song primed for the band’s forthcoming album, was a bright, propulsive burst,” said The Boston Globe.

Dave Matthews Band – comprising Carter Beauford (drums), Stefan Lessard (bass), Dave Matthews (vocals, guitar) and Boyd Tinsley (violin) – has sold a collective 37 million CDs and DVDs combined. With the debut of Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 in 2009, Dave Matthews Band became one of only two groups in chart history to have five consecutive studio albums enter atop the chart. The band was the biggest ticket seller worldwide of the past decade and has sold over 17 million tickets since its inception.
