Big Concerts, 94.7 Highveld Stereo, KFM 94.5 and East Coast Radio are proud to announce the return of American
super-group COUNTING CROWS. Scoring a perfect hat-trick, their 3rd tour to South Africa,
will see them kicking off at Johannesburg’s Coca-Cola Dome on 6 June, before heading to
the Durban International Convention Centre on 8 June , and finally Cape Town’s Grand
Arena at Grand West Casino & Entertainment World, on 10 June 2008.
Their first South African tour in 1999 proved a huge success, as they played sold-out
shows country wide, and then again to almost 37 000 fans during their 2004 tour.
We are thrilled to be hosting one of the biggest bands in the world today on the South
African stage. Counting Crows has a huge following in South Africa and remains a firm
favourite among our listeners,” said Ravi Naidoo, 94.7 Highveld Stereo station manager.
Their latest album, “Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings”, is due for release on 25 March
and represents the latest and arguably greatest chapter in a story that began with the
band’s highly auspicious 1993 debut, “August And Everything After”.
With the smash hits “Round Here”, “Omaha” and “Mr. Jones”, the album went on to sell
over 6 million copies. Their subsequent albums include “Recovering the Satellites”
(1996), “Across A Wire: Live in NY” (1998), “This Desert Life” (1999), and the massive
2002 hit “Hard Candy”, which sold over 1.3 million copies, and featured Joni Mitchells
“Big Yellow Taxi” with Vanessa Carlton. All in all – Counting Crows have sold in the region
of 20 million albums world-wide!!
The band, Adam Duritz, David Bryson, Charles Gillingham, Dan Vickery, David Immergluck
and Jim Bogios, has become renowned for its energetic, passionate live performances,
which have been described as 'riveting and revealing...emotionally wracked, radical
rearrangements.' It has also been said that 'each set is wholly raw, emotional and on the
fly.'
With a repertoire of hits, spanning 15 years, don’t miss one of the most significant live
bands in the world. Tickets on sale at Computicket, from Thursday 3rd April.
