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

Luke Combs Announces 12 New Stadium Shows for 2027 ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour’
Luke Combs is extending his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour into 2027, announcing 12 new stadium shows across the United States.
The new dates continue the tour that Combs launched in 2026, though fans can expect a different lineup of opening acts. Treaty Oak Revival, Avery Anna, Shenandoah and Wyatt McCubbin will join Combs at various stops throughout the 2027 run.
The tour takes its name from “My Kinda Saturday Night,” a song from Combs’ latest album, The Way I Am. The singer recently wrapped the 2026 leg with three sold-out performances at London’s Wembley Stadium.
For now, the 12 newly announced stadium concerts are the only dates listed on Combs’ official tour calendar. Tickets for all 12 shows go on sale August 21.
The announcement had been teased throughout the week, with several venues revealing details before Combs officially announced the dates on Thursday morning.
The limited schedule reflects a shift in how Combs is approaching life on the road. With three young children — ages four, nearly three and six months — the singer has spoken about putting more time aside for his family. The days of spending most of the week away from home may be becoming less common for the country star.
That does not mean Combs is stepping away from the stage. Every 2027 date announced so far is scheduled at a football stadium with a capacity of at least 60,000 people.
The strategy is similar to one adopted by several major country artists in recent years, including Morgan Wallen: fewer shows in much larger venues. Rather than spending months on the road playing arenas and smaller venues, Combs can reach a large audience with a limited number of performances.
For fans, that makes each stop a bigger event. For Combs, it offers a way to keep touring while spending more time at home with his family.
Tickets go on sale August 21.
Tour Dates for Luke Combs 2027 ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour’:
April 3 — Arlington, Texas @ AT&T Stadium
April 10 — Minneapolis, Minn. @ U.S. Bank Stadium
April 17 — Detroit, Mich. @ Ford Field
April 24 — Philadelphia, Pa. @ Lincoln Financial Field
May 1 — Foxborough, Mass. @ Gillette Stadium
May 8 — Pittsburgh, Pa. @ Acrisure Stadium
May 15 — Kansas City, Mo. @ Arrowhead Stadium
May 29 — Edmonton, Alb. Canada @ Commonwealth Stadium
June 5 — Vancouver, B.C. Canada @ BC Place
June 12 — Boise, Idaho @ Albertsons Stadium
June 19 — Denver, Colo. @ Empower Field at Mile High
June 26 — San Diego, Calif. @ Petco Park
