Counting Crows Announce First UK Tour In Over Four Years & Tickets
Tuesday, 22 January 2013
Written by Jon Stickler
San Francisco rockers Counting Crows have announced their first UK tour in over 4 years.
The multi-platinum 7-piece will bring their live show to the UK for 5 shows, taking in Birmingham, Bristol, London, Manchester and Glasgow.
The tour follows the release of 2012's 'Underwater Sunshine (or What We Did On Our Summer Vacation)' and Counting Crows will release a new live album to coincide with the dates.
“All I could say when I saw the plans for a UK/EU tour was ‘It's about time'", says Adam Duritz. “It's hard to explain to fans why bands occasionally let so much time pass between visits. The truth is sometimes life just gets in the way and, before you know it, it's been a few years. Personally, I'm just glad we're going back. I have a lot of great memories of past tours. Remembering where we've been always gets me excited about where we're going.”
Counting Crows formed in 1991 in the San Francisco Bay area and they have sold over 20 million albums to date. They had 5 Top 20 studio albums in the UK (3 of them charting in the Top 10) and all 5 hitting Top 5 on the Billboard 200. The current line up features Adam Duritz (vocals), David Bryson (guitar), Charles Gillingham (keyboards), Dan Vickrey (guitar), Jim Bogios (drums), David Immergluck (guitar) and Millard Powers (bass).
