Matchbox Twenty takes the stage at the Illinois State Fair Grandstand on Sunday August 16th
Matchbox Twenty have quietly woven their songs into the very fabric of American popular culture. No matter where you are, it’s impossible not to hum along, or even sing aloud, to generational anthems like “3AM,” “Push,” “Unwell,” “Bent,” “If You’re Gone,” or “She’s So Mean.” Earning hits in each of the last three decades, the 90s, the 00s, and the 10s, they’ve gone from dominating radio airwaves and ruling MTV to piling up billions of streams, underscoring the enduring appeal of their music. As such, they’ve sold over 40 million records worldwide, topped charts, garnered multiple Grammy Award nominations, and played to millions of fans across arenas, amphitheaters, and stadiums on multiple continents.
