(Atlantic Records) Matchbox Twenty return today with new single "Wild Dogs (Running In A Slow Dream)," marking their first new music release in over a decade. The song arrives alongside the announcement of the band's forthcoming fifth studio album, Where The Light Goes, arriving May 26th 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 this May for their 50+ date spring/summer tour, now officially named the "Slow Dream Tour."

Produced by Live Nation, the "Slow Dream Tour" will begin on Tuesday, May 16th at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC and conclude on Sunday, August 6th 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 20th anniversary of their Diamond-certified debut album Yourself or Someone Like You.

The "Slow Dream Tour" will feature newly announced support from Platinum-selling singer-songwriter Matt Nathanson for the first half of the tour and chart-topping singer-songwriter/producer Ben Rector on the second half. In addition to the tour dates currently on sale, Matchbox Twenty is pleased to announce a pair of new concerts: Sunday, May 21st at Concord Pavilion in Concord, CA and Saturday, May 27th at The Chelsea at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, NV.
