For more than three decades, Counting Crows have maintained a rare connection with audiences, built on emotionally detailed songwriting, expressive performances and a catalogue that has become woven into modern rock history. In 2026, the Grammy and Academy Award nominated band will return to Australia and New Zealand with The Complete Sweets! Tour, a run of theatre shows celebrating their legacy while spotlighting their most recent body of work.

For more than three decades, Counting Crows have been one of the most distinctive and heartfelt voices in American rock. In 2026, Adam Duritz and company will return to Australia and New Zealand for The Complete Sweets! Tour.

Adam Duritz of Counting Crows cites Australia’s Gang of Youths as his favourite band at the moment.

The Underwater Sunshine Festival is returning to New York for 2019 this weekend. Underwater Sunshine is curated by Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz and co-founded with Barbara Rappaport.
