DMB Hub from antsmarching.org: if you're a DMB fan, you must have this app. Version 4.0 is a ground-up redesign of the whole thing. The Hub is your home base. Live show alerts, On This Day history, trending forum threads, breaking news - everything happening in the DMB world, in one feed. Open it daily to see what's new. Live show mode. DMB Hub knows when a show is happening. Follow the setlist in real time, right down to your Lock Screen, place your ShowFlow votes song by song, and dig into stats as each song drops. It's the best way to follow a show you're at - or one you wish you were. Tour Central is where it gets deep. The band's entire live catalog - every year, tour, song, venue, and setlist - built for browsing, with Advanced Search to find any show fast. Tap a show and you're in: setlist, stats, posters, fan photos, ticket stubs. Upload your own from the show while you're still in the parking lot. Song details that matter. Tap any song on any setlist and get the full picture - how many times played, last performance, show gap, tour rarity, fan sentiment. When was this song last played? Has it ever been played at this venue? Is a liberation coming? All right there. Your DMB journey. Log in with your Ants account and track your show history, attendance, and personal stats. See which songs you've never caught live, which venues you've hit the most, and how you stack up against friends in Head-to-Head mode - or the entire Ants community. Share your DMB Story - a personalized narrative of your history with the band. Hub Stubs. Earn achievement Stubs based on the shows you've seen and your tour superlatives, and watch your progress toward the next one. Passport. Collect stamps at venues on show nights, then hunt down hidden spots with the compass in Hunt Mode. Fill your pages and climb the leaderboard. The Setlist Game. Predict what the band will play, compete with friends, and form leagues. Get your picks in from anywhere - no more rushing home before the deadline. Season standings, all-time stats, and bragging rights included. Trivia. Play solo, challenge your friends, or join live hosted Trivia events and answer against the clock.
