I wouldn't be all that concerned that the Beacon shows will be it for the ABB this year. EC is off the road between June 10 and July 7, according to Pollstar:

So it looks like the ABB will have about a month - most of June through the July 4th holiday, and then Derek picks back up with EC on July 7th for the rest of July. That would still leave the ABB a second leg in August & September, before a fall EC tour of the U.S. arenas with Derek. Seems like the calendar works out, at least for Derek with both EC and the ABB. I'm a bit concerned about the DTB though, unless they will get to open some ABB and/or EC shows.
Riverbend Festival in Chattanooga supports the ABB playing shows in June:
