Category: Music News

In August 2004, the Dave Matthews Band was involved in a notorious incident where a tour bus allegedly dumped 800 pounds of human waste onto a river cruise boat in Chicago, affecting numerous passengers. The incident led to investigations, public outrage, and legal consequences for the band and the bus driver, who was fined and sentenced to probation. The band later settled a lawsuit for $200,000 without admitting guilt, while also contributing to environmental education projects.
