Counting Crows add new Melbourne and Sydney shows to 2023 Australian tour

They'll be playing theatres and arenas next March and April, in addition to their set at the Byron Bay Bluesfest

Counting Crows have added two new shows to their upcoming Australasian tour – their first run here in eight years – which is set to coincide with their return to the Byron Bay Bluesfest.

The Australian shows will take place from late March to early April, taking place in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney. With both shows in the latter cities sold out, the band have now announced additional dates: they’ll play a second gig in Melbourne on Thursday April 6, and a second gig in Sydney on Tuesday April 11.

Counting Crows will also perform in New Zealand, heading to Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington in the week prior to their Australian shows.

Tickets for all of the shows are on sale now – find them here for the Adelaide and Sydney shows, here for Christchurch, and here for Melbourne and the remaining New Zealand dates. VIP ticket packages are also available – they include access to an exclusive soundcheck performance from the band and an autographed lyric sheet.

Meanwhile, Counting Crows will play at next year’s Bluesfest alongside the likes of BeckElvis Costello, Gang Of Youths, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and Mavis Staples.

The band are touring in support of their latest EP, ‘Butter Miracle, Suite One’, which was released in May of 2021. ‘Suite Two’ is expected at some point in 2023, and when combined with the previous EP, it’ll form the band’s eighth studio album.

Away from touring, Counting Crows found themselves in the news earlier this year when Stranger Things actor David Harbour revealed that their 1993 hit ‘Mr. Jones’ would be the song that “saved” him from the show’s villain, Vecna.
