Counting Crows Release New Album ‘Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets!’

Published

on

Today, multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated rock band Counting Crows releases their long-awaited new album, Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets!, available everywhere now via BMG. Marking their first full-length studio release since 2021’s critically acclaimed Butter Miracle: Suite One, the album builds upon its predecessor’s narrative thread with nine emotionally resonant tracks that reflect frontman Adam Duritz’s deeply personal songwriting and the band’s signature blend of rock, folk, and alternative.

Lead single “Spaceman in Tulsa” introduced the band’s new chapter with poetic lyricism and a fresh sonic edge. It explores finding identity in places where you feel like you don’t belong—and how music can be a transformative refuge. The track was one of several inspired by the artist’s reflections on friends, distance, identity, and reconnection, themes that flow throughout the album.

With “With Love, From A-Z,” Duritz paints what he calls “a portrait of the artist as a middle-aged man,” capturing the challenges of maintaining love and friendship amid a life spent on the road. Songs like “Boxcars” and “Angel of 14th Street” delve into the societal fractures and cruelty experienced by marginalized communities, drawing parallels between present-day injustice and historic persecution. “Virginia Through the Rain” offers a more introspective lens, focusing on the personal failures of a flawed narrator, while “Under The Aurora” zooms out to capture the collective longing for connection during the pandemic. “Elevator Boots” chronicles the experience of about being in a band – melodically illustrating the joys and difficulties of life on the road. “Bobby & The Rat-Kings” offers a love letter to the formative power of music fandom. The album closes on “Under The Aurora,” a sweeping piano-led reflection that balances the loneliness and urgency of the past few years with hope for deeper connection.

The new project arrives ahead of the band’s massive international trek, The Complete Sweets! Tour, which kicks off June 10 in Nashville, TN. The tour will bring Counting Crows’ timeless storytelling, raw emotion, rich melodies and beloved live show to audiences across North America and Europe throughout Summer and Fall 2025.

Calvin Harris Returns To North America For First Headline Tour

Published

on

Calvin Harris 2027

Today, global superstar DJ and producer Calvin Harris announces his first headline tour across North America bringing his era-defining catalogue and landmark live show to arenas across the US and Canada in spring 2027. 

Promoted by Live Nation, the 18-date tour kicks off Thursday, April 1 at TD Garden in Boston, with stops across Baltimore, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Toronto, Montreal, Houston, Chicago, Seattle, Vancouver, San Diego and more, before concluding Thursday, May 27 at Kia Forum in Los Angeles.

‍Tickets will be available starting with Reserved by Spotify on Monday, October 19th at 10AM local time, followed by an artist presale beginning Tuesday, October 20th at 12PM local time. Fans can register for artist presale access now at CalvinHarris.com.

The general on sale begins Thursday, October 22nd at 12PM local time at CalvinHarris.com.

Calvin Harris’ Reserved by Spotify tickets may be available to eligible US Spotify Premium subscribers through Ticketmaster.  These fans will be notified by Spotify via email and app notification, and will have the opportunity to purchase up to two tickets during the Reserved presale.

The North American run follows an extraordinary year of live milestones for Harris. This summer, he performed to more than 100,000 fans across his two sold-out hometown shows at Glasgow’s Hampden Park, followed by three sold-out headline shows across Ireland, bringing his UK and Ireland total to more than 210,000 tickets. His recently announced Australian headline tour subsequently sold more than 330,000 tickets across 11 dates, making it the biggest headline tour by an electronic artist in the market.

Earlier this year, Harris also earned a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title following his February performance in São Paulo, Brazil, which drew an estimated 1.6 million people, setting the record for the largest attendance at a DJ set by a single artist.

The North American announcement follows Harris’ acclaimed performance at Head Trip Festival in Indio, California, with upcoming performances in Las Vegas and festival appearances in Mexico and Chile. He will also headline a sold-out show at Coliseo MedPlus in Bogotá, Colombia on Friday, November 13. 

One of the defining artists in global dance music, Harris has spent more than a decade creating records that have become part of the fabric of contemporary pop and electronic music. With more than 56 billion global streams, two UK No. 1 albums, 11 UK No. 1 singles and 31 UK Top 10 singles, his catalogue has consistently crossed the boundaries between clubs, radio, festivals and stadiums.

His recent run of releases has continued that legacy, with “Blessings” featuring Clementine Douglas becoming one of the year’s biggest dance records, peaking at No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart and marking his 31st UK Top 10 single. He followed with “Ocean” featuring Jessie Reyez and “Release the Pressure” with Kasabian as well as “Satisfy” with Jazzy,  continuing his instinct for unexpected collaborations and genre-spanning dance music.

Harris returns to stages across North America with a show that reflects his extraordinary evolution as a live artist, bringing together a catalogue of global anthems, cutting-edge production and the communal energy that has made him one of the world’s most successful electronic artists.

The All-American Rejects, The Wallflowers, David Gray, O.A.R., Matt Nathanson, and The Lucky will join the band as special guests on select dates. The tour is the centerpiece of a yearlong anniversary celebration that began last night with an intimate, one-night-only performance at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, where the band played songs from their landmark debut Yourself or Someone Like You, alongside other fan favorites. The celebration continues tomorrow when Matchbox Twenty perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

Just ahead of the tour, Matchbox Twenty will perform at Stagecoach Festival in Indio, CA on Sunday, April 25.

Released in 1996, Yourself or Someone Like You introduced Matchbox Twenty (Rob Thomas, Brian Yale, Paul Doucette and Kyle Cook) to the world and launched a career that has now spanned three decades. Featuring smash hit singles “3AM,” “Push,” “Real World,” “Back 2 Good,” “Long Day” and more, the diamond-certified, 12x-platinum album became one of the defining rock records of the era and established the band as a fixture of pop culture.

In the 30 years since, Matchbox Twenty have built a catalog of hits including “Bent,” “If You’re Gone,” “Unwell,” “How Far We’ve Come,” “She’s So Mean” and more. The band have sold more than 40 million records worldwide, topped charts, garnered multiple GRAMMY® Award nominations, and played to millions of fans across arenas, amphitheaters and stadiums on multiple continents.
