Hot on the heels of their global Butter Miracle Tour over the past two years, Counting Crows have announced they’ll return to the U.S. this year with a new tour touted as the Banshee Season Tour. For their travels, they’ll be joined by their long-time friends, the cult-favorite rock band Dashboard Confessional, along with English singer-songwriter Frank Turner.
The Banshee Season tour will kick off at the Steelhouse Omaha in Omaha, Neb., on June 13 and make 56 stops until its completion, which will culminate with a performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colo., on Sept. 25. Over their travels the two ensembles will make stops at many historic and beloved cities in the States including Nashville, New Orleans, Boston, Las Vegas, Tulsa, Okla., Phoenix, Ariz., Seattle, Salt Lake City, Milwaukee, Wisc., Syracuse, N.Y. and more.
“One of the best things about a life in rock and roll is that we spend it traveling the world playing music. It’s even better when you can do it with one of your best friends and watch them play every night too,” Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz said in a press release. “Chris Carrabba hits the trifecta for me in that he’s one of my best friends in the world, one of my favorite people in the world, and he leads one of my favorite bands of all time, Dashboard Confessional. Sorry for the terrible pun but hands down, this is going to be the best summers ever.”
Duritz and Carrabba first met in 2003 at the 17th Annual Bridge School Benefit Concert in San Francisco with Neil Young, and the two long-time collaborators remained close, working together both on and off the stage since then.
Carrabba added: “Dashboard Confessional could not be more excited to be playing all across America with our heroes and friends Counting Crows. Dreams really can come true!”
Ticket presales to the tour will begin Tuesday, March 14, in select markets, and the general ticket on-sale will commence Friday, March 17, at 10 a.m. local time. For additional information, follow Counting Crows on Facebook and Instagram.
