Counting Crows Announce 2026 Australian Tour

Counting Crows will return to Australia in March and April 2026, returning Down Under for the first time in three years.

The American rock band heads to Australia and New Zealand on their The Complete Sweets! Tour, presenting singalong moments, deep cuts, and fresh energy—songs new and old will be performed in theatres for their devoted fans.

The tour begins at Auckland’s Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre on Monday, 23 March. The band will then journey to Australia for three special shows: at Adelaide’s Festival Theatre on Friday, 27 March, Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on Sunday, 29 March, and Melbourne’s Palais Theatre on Wednesday, 1 April.

Mastercard cardholders and One NZ customers have special access to pre-sale tickets, starting on Thursday, 16 October, at 10 am local time, before wrapping up on Monday, 20 October, at 10 am local time. Head to the Priceless and One NZ websites for more information.

My Live Nation members can access pre-sale tickets on Friday, 17 October, at 10 am local time, until Monday, 20 October, at 10 am local time—register here to access those tickets. The general sale opens on Monday, 20 October, at 11 am local time via the Live Nation website.

Counting Crows are touring in support of their recently released new album, Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets!, which features the single Spaceman In Tulsa. The rock band won over Australian fans in 1993 with their hit Mr Jones from their debut album, August And Everything After, and have remained consistent visitors.

They recorded Accidentally In Love for the Shrek 2 soundtrack in 2004 and subsequently received accolades such as the Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song at the 2005 Oscar Awards, a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song, and a GRAMMY Award nomination for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media.  

Reviewing the band’s performance at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre in 2023, The Music’s David James Young concluded, “It may all be on their terms, but a Counting Crows show is a thoroughly communal experience. Who needs Accidentally In Love when the audience is already so very intentionally in love?”
