SAN Francisco rockers and iconic 1990s act Counting Crows will return to the UK with a five-date tour this spring.

The Californian seven-piece will perform at Bristol’s Colston Hall on April 19 as part of the tour, their first in the UK for more than four years.

Since forming in 1991 they have sold more than 20 million albums, with their most successful release being their triple platinum debut release August And Everything After.

They enjoyed another spell of success in 2005 when single Accidentally In Love was featured on the soundtrack to Shrek 2 and was nominated for a Grammy Award, a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award.

Tickets for the show, priced £36.50, are available from www.colstonhall.org or by calling 01179 223686.
