“No matter what I will ever do, nothing feels like home as much as playing these songs with these guys and it never will,” said Matchbox Twenty lead singer-songwriter ROB THOMAS. “And I can’t wait to spend another summer out there on the road with the Crows.” Thomas previously teamed with Counting Crows for a hugely successful 2016 summer co-headline tour.
“To be honest, we took a vote after last year and decided to spend every summer with Rob from now on,” says Counting Crows’ ADAM DURITZ. “Can. Not. Wait.”
This year celebrates the 20th anniversary of Matchbox Twenty and their breakthrough debut album “Yourself or Someone Like You,” currently certified 12x platinum. Fueled by classic singles “Real World” and “Back 2 Good” and No. 1 smash hits “Push” and “3AM,” the album proved a worldwide sensation and instantly established Matchbox as global superstars. Since then, Matchbox Twenty has achieved cumulative worldwide album sales of over $30 million and earned multiple No. 1 singles including “Bent”, “Unwell” and “If You’re Gone” along with countless accolades including five Grammy nominations.
Counting Crows ha sold more than 20 million albums worldwide after exploding onto the music scene with their multi-platinum breakout album “August and Everything After” in 1993. The band released their seventh studio album, “Somewhere Under Wonderland,” in September 2014.
