Concert in Phoenix on September 10



Counting Crows and multi-platinum artists Maroon 5 will co-headline a summer tour set to launch July 25 at the Verizon Wireless Virginia Beach Amphitheater in Virginia Beach, VA. The tour will hit Phoenix with a Wednesday, September 10th stop at Cricket Wireless Pavilion. American rock band Augustana will open the 7:00pm show. Tickets go on sale Saturday, June 14 at 10am.

Counting Crows will be supporting the release of their uber successful new double album Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings. They will continue to win over fans performing their hits like the top 5 track “Mr. Jones,” “Hard Candy,” “Rain King” “Accidentally In Love” and others as well as hot new tracks like “You Can’t Count on Me,” “Washington Square” and “Cowboys.”

Maroon 5 will be supporting their latest album, It Won’t Be Soon Before Long, which entered Billboard’s Top 200 Albums Chart at No. 1. The three time Grammy award winners will perform their new single “If I Never See Your Face Again” and recent Grammy-winning lead track “Makes Me Wonder,” along with a plethora of radio staples and fan favorites from It Won’t Be Soon Before Long and its blockbuster-selling predecessor, Songs About Jane.

Augustana released their newest album titled "Can't Love, Can't Hurt" on April 29, 2008. The first single from the album is titled "Sweet and Low."

The bands will be working with Reverb, an environmental non-profit, to make the tour green and educate and engage fans to promote environmental sustainability. The environmental efforts on the tour will include using biodiesel in all truck and buses, as well as neutralizing CO2 emissions from venue energy use, hotels, flights, touring vehicles, and fan travel.

In addition, backstage plastic, aluminum, paper and cardboard waste will be reduced and recycled. Bio degradable and reusable catering products will be used along with local and organic food. A fan outreach Eco-Village will be set up consisting of local environmental groups, green technologies, and a fan carbon offset program. Reverb will also be creating a dedicated Tour greening website including eco tips and a carpooling program.
