The Black Crowes Announce European Tour
Genre-defying rock legends The Black Crowes have announced a European tour in June. This will be the first time the band returns to the UK since their Eventim Apollo performance in 2024 where they were joined on stage by long-time friend and fellow rock icon Steven Tyler as Jimmy Page looked on from the side of the stage. The run will include a performance at the State Fayre Festival alongside Kings of Leon and Elvis Costello.
With thunderous drums, blistering guitar work, and lyrics that don’t flinch, fans can expect a roaring setlist stacked with classics, deep cuts, and the kind of onstage band chemistry and electrifying stage presence that can’t be replicated.
From career-defining anthems to crowd-roaring sing-alongs, every night promises to be a full-throttle reminder that rock ‘ n ‘ roll is alive and well and best served up loud, outrageous and a little dangerous.
Founded by brothers Chris and Rich Robinson, The Black Crowes make music for the mavericks, playing rock ‘n’ roll that’s hip-swinging and heavy, dirty and debonaire, bluesy and ballsy, ecstatic and electrifying, and soulful and soaring. They don’t fall in line, and they never cared to either. Instead, they’re right at home with the outsiders, the drifters, the lost souls, the hustlers, and the hellraisers who inhabit timeless tunes like “She Talks To Angels,” “Hard To Handle,” “Wiser Time,” “Twice As Hard,” and “Black Moon Creeping.”
No matter where culture went, the multiplatinum GRAMMY Award-nominated group fearlessly charted their own course, taking flight with the 5x-Platinum “Shake Your Money Maker” and never coming back down. Their path twisted and turned from seminal records like the 2x-Platinum Billboard 200 #1 LP “The Southern Harmony And Musical Companion” and Gold-certified follow-up “Amorica” to a once-in-a-lifetime jaunt with Jimmy Page and accompanying Gold-certified live record “Live at the Greek.”
The band’s lore expanded with the chart-shaking “Warpaint” and “Before the Frost…Until the Freeze.” Another generation fell under their spell as they launched their biggest headline tour yet to celebrate “Shake Your Money Maker’s” 30th birthday. They lit up the next chapter with 2024’s “Happiness Bastards”, which garnered a GRAMMY Award nod for Best Rock Album. Between widespread critical praise, they even picked up a 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination.
Rather than rest on their laurels, Chris and Rich wrote and recorded their tenth full-length offering, “A Pound of Feathers,” in ten days. It’s the sound of uncompromising, urgent, and undeniable rock ‘n’ roll. It’s the sound of unrepentant creative spirits in harmony. It’s the sound of The Black Crowes.
New Album and Recent Success
Fresh off a career-spanning resurgence that included a 2025 GRAMMY nod for Best Rock Album for “Happiness Bastards” – described by Uncut as “lively and assured” – last year also saw their first nomination into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The Black Crowes will return with the release of their unfiltered, heart-pounding new album, “A Pound of Feathers,” on March 13th, before hitting the road where they’ll continue to deliver the same lawless and swaggering sound that made them one of the most explosive live acts of our generation.
A Pound of Feathers
“A Pound of Feathers” marks a bold creative evolution — marrying the rugged swagger of their early classics with fresh perspectives and dynamic, hard-hitting rhythmic textures.
Recorded in Nashville with GRAMMY-winning producer Jay Joyce and curated with visionary energy and deep musical empathy, the record showcases a fearless band operating at the height of their powers.
The singles “Profane Prophecy”, “Pharmacy Chronicles” and “It’s Like That” are out now. The excellent Russ Meyer-inspired video for “Profane Prophecy” directed by Dagger Polyester, whom Chris Robinson discovered in LA’s underground music scene, is also out now.
