Matchbox Twenty Celebrate 30th Anniversary With North American Tour Dates, Including Toronto

The outing officially starts in May.

Oct. 1 marked the 30th anniversary of the release of Matchbox Twenty’s breakthrough album You or Someone Like You. The album, which included such hits as “Real World,” “3AM,” “Push” and “Back 2 Good,” helped propel the Rob Thomas-fronted band to the top of the charts and into one of the biggest post-grunge rock bands of the era.
