Whether this is your first trip to The Gorge or you’ve been making the trip for years, we’re hosting a LIVE Q&A on YouTube all about Dave Matthews Band at The Gorge 2026!

Friday, August 28th
6:00 PM Pacific
7 PM Mountain • 8 PM Central • 9 PM Eastern
📍 LIVE on YouTube

We’ll be talking about the stuff people actually want to know before Gorge weekend including arrival timing, traffic, parking, camping, getting around, what to bring, local logistics, first timer advice, and all those weirdly specific Gorge questions you’ve been trying to figure out.

PLEASE DROP YOUR QUESTIONS IN THE COMMENTS BELOW

We’re collecting questions ahead of the live and will answer as many as we can. If you join us live, bring your questions with you because we’ll be watching the chat throughout the Q&A.

There are no dumb Gorge questions. If you’re wondering about it, chances are somebody else is too.

We live and work right here in George, and our goal is simple: help you come into DMB weekend feeling a little more prepared and a lot more excited.

What is the ONE thing you want to know before DMB at The Gorge this year?

Drop your question below and join us Friday, August 28th at 6 PM PT on YouTube

Save the date, go follow us on Youtube, set your reminder, and we’ll see you live!

For guests arriving separately on Saturday, they will still go through campground check-in when they arrive. If you have a voucher, you can meet them at check-in and present it at the gate so they can receive their wristband. You should not need to meet them outside the gate.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFO:
*No Chairs are allowed in the venue. Prepare to rent your chair.
*Get to the venue right when parking or camping opens even if you have to get there and just hang out. You don't want to get stuck in traffic any later than that. If you're using day parking, drop a pin as soon as you park.
*If you use day parking, drop a pin as soon as you park. Park nearest an exit if you can. Leave during the last song to get ahead of the exit traffic.
*If you need to make arrangement for parking/shuttle, do it immediately. That way, you will get the most options. Reserving the day-of is very stressful and never guaranteed
*Drink A TON of water before you get there. Make it a priority to stay hydrated
*Bring earplugs (for those camping) mosquito spray, a light jacket and a very comfortable pair of walking shoes. It's incredibly hot during the day and surprisingly cold after the sun sets.
*Ticks have recently been sighted in the area and one recently in the campground. Make sure to do a daily thorough inspection.
*If you plan on camping, bring corkscrew stakes for your tents and sunshades. Those will give you the best results out there.
*If you want to know what the drive from the Vantage bridge to Silica road looks like & what to expect, watch this video here.

⚠️Entry lines were very long during Griztronics and Brandi Carlile, with some guests waiting several hours.
To help avoid the heaviest traffic and reduce stress, we recommend arriving as soon as parking or camping opens. From what we’ve seen, guests who arrive within the first hour of opening usually have a much smoother experience.

If you'd like to watch the journey from the vantage bridge to silica road, watch our new video here: https://youtu.be/fa6IjIFjwDA?si=mJsCvhEswc0BqV_5

⚠️Ticks were just sighted at The Gorge Campground during Griztronics. Make sure to do a daily thorough check.

The Vantage Bridge has all four lanes open starting Friday 6/5 at 6AM. Source link: https://wsdot.wa.gov/construction-planning/search-projects/i-90-vantage-bridge-replace-bridge-deck-and-special-repairs
