Counting Crows to tour UK
Not that I’m one for 20 questions, but did you know the Counting Crows were the first band in the O2 Wireless Festival’s 4-year history to perform in front of a sold-out crowd? And in London’s Hyde Park? Well the
band’s pretty stoked about this, so it makes sense they’d follow this feat up with a long, awaited autumn tour of the UK. To help celebrate, they’re bringing along friends Ben Folds and Melee for support.
Under the banner Counting Crows - Live from Hyde Park, ticket buyers will be offered a link to download five free live tracks of the same live performance from their sold out stint in Hyde Park. For those interested, the live tracks include: “Have You Seen Me Lately,” “Colorblind” (personal favorite) and “Anna Begins,” plus “Le Ballet d’Or” and “Hanging Tree,” from their latest studio album Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings, which we have reviewed for your reading pleasure, of course.
Tickets go on sale starting tomorrow, July 25th, which you can buy through Live Nation. Anyway, here are the dates for our UK readers…
