Counting Crows Announce 56-Date 2023 Summer Tour with Dashboard Confessional

The new string of dates, dubbed the Banshee Season Tour, will be a collaboration with the popular band Dashboard Confessional. English singer-songwriter Frank Turner will also join the tour for select dates.

The string of shows kicks off in Omaha, Nebraska, at the Steakhouse Omaha with stops in Boston, Tampa, Nashville, New Orleans, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and more. The 56-date tour concludes with a show at the famed Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado, on September 25.

Fans can check out a video from Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz and Dashboard Confessional’s Chris Carrabba “packing” for the trip below. The two pals originally met in 2003 at the 17th Annual Bridge School Benefit Concert in San Francisco with Neil Young. Since then, the two have remained buddies, working together both on and off the stage.  

“One of the best things about a life in rock and roll is that we spend it traveling the world playing music,” said Duritz of the upcoming gigs. “It’s even better when you can do it with one of your best friends and watch them play every night too. Chris Carrabba hits the trifecta for me in that he’s one of my best friends in the world, one of my favorite people in the world, and he leads one of my favorite bands of all time, Dashboard Confessional. Sorry for the terrible pun but hands down, this is going to be the best summer ever.”

Added Carrabba, “Dashboard Confessional could not be more excited to be playing all across America with our heroes and friends Counting Crows. Dreams really can come true!”
