Multiplatinum, Grammy-nominated rock band Counting Crows announced today “The Complete Sweets! Tour” in support of their forthcoming album “Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets!” – and the tour will make a stop at PH Live at Planet Hollywood on Saturday, Aug. 9, at 7:30 p.m.
The tour will bring the band’s live show to fans across North America and Europe, delivering the storytelling, emotion and melodies that have defined their career for more than three decades. The tour will feature guests The Gaslight Anthem. Tickets go on sale Friday, March 14, at 10 a.m. PT, with an artist presale starting Tuesday, March 11, at 10 a.m. PT at Ticketmaster.com.
“Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets!” marks the band’s first full-length album since “Butter Miracle: Suite One,” which received critical acclaim in 2021. Embodying the contrast between intimate storytelling and larger-than-life themes, the forthcoming album promises to deliver the storytelling and melodies that have made Counting Crows a beloved band the last three decades.
Frontman Adam Duritz delivers a raw and compelling vocal performance backed by the band’s instrumentation that blends rock, folk and alternative influences. The first single from the album, “Spaceman in Tulsa,” introduces this new era with a compelling narrative and dynamic instrumentation.
As the band’s first new music in nearly five years, the song blends their signature sound with a fresh, modern energy. “ ‘Spaceman in Tulsa’ is about metamorphosis, the way music breaks down who we were and spins us into something new. It’s about broken lives becoming something better,” Duritz said.
For more than three decades, the Academy Award-nominated rock band has enchanted listeners with their soulful and intricate take on timeless rock and roll. Including the 1993 breakout album “August and Everything After,” the band has released seven studio albums and sold more than 20 million records.
In 2004, Counting Crows recorded “Accidentally in Love” for “Shrek 2.” The success of the track earned them a 2005 Oscar nod for Best Original Song, a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song and a Grammy nomination for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media.
In 2021, Counting Crows ranked No. 8 on Billboard’s “Greatest of All Time: Adult Alternative Artists” 25th anniversary chart. Counting Crows released “Butter Miracle: Suite One” in May 2021 to rave reviews. The band kicked off their first tour since 2018, “The Butter Miracle Tour,” from 2021 through 2023, with shows in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
“Spaceman in Tulsa” is available on all major streaming platforms now. The album “Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets!” is set to arrive worldwide May 9.
