THE BLACK CROWES Announce First-Ever Headlining Performance At Madison Square Garden

October 17, 2005

2005 marked the year in which THE BLACK CROWES reunited and re-connected with their loyal fans, performing the best shows of their career. The band will culminate this hugely successful year on December 31, 2005 with their first-ever New Year's Eve show at Madison Square Garden in the city where it all began back in March with seven sold-out nights at Hammerstein Ballroom.

For their first-ever headlining show at Madison Square Garden, THE BLACK CROWES — Chris Robinson (vocals),Rich Robinson (guitars),Marc Ford (guitars),Eddie Hawrysch (keyboards),Sven Pipien (bass) and Steve Gorman (drums) — have assembled a celebration of free-spirited rock 'n' roll, with MY MORNING JACKET and NORTH MISSISSIPPI ALLSTARS confirmed to support.

Tickets will go on sale on Saturday, October 22 at 9:00 am. Eastern Time.

According to Pete Angelus, the band's longtime manager, "THE BLACK CROWES look forward to ending this year by celebrating on New Year's Eve with their fans at their first-ever Madison Square Garden headlining show. At this point in time, we have not discussed any future domestic touring plans. It has always been our intention to gauge the future of the band, not by the memories and successes of the past, but rather by the group's collective feelings of the present."

THE BLACK CROWES' return in 2005 has been highlighted so far by not only the seven night sold-out Hammerstein Ballroom engagement, but with a massive American summer shed tour with TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS, five sold-out nights at San Francisco's historic Fillmore (filmed for an upcoming DVD),a charity concert for the Hurricane Katrina victims in Memphis and performances at three of the most prestigious festivals in America (New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Bonnaroo, and Austin City Limits Festival, which they headlined).

Currently, THE BLACK CROWES are on their final leg of headlining dates, which features a string of shows at the Henry Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles (October 18, 19, 21, 22, 23) and concludes with multiple nights in Chicago ending on Halloween.
