Maroon 5 and Counting Crows have a lot in common: Both have a handful of hits, are faves in the adult-contemporary market and feature lead singers named "Adam." It was only a matter of time before the two decided to combine forces and tour the U.S. together.

The pair will be hitting the open road on July 25th and be out all the way through October. Sara Bareilles will be opening on the first half of the tour and Augustana on the second half. Sounds like a solid lineup to me!

Worried about the show selling out before you can get your tickets? If you purchase the iTunes-exclusive live session with Maroon 5 by March 31 you will receive a Ticketmaster password that will allow you to buy tickets before the general public. If you pre-ordered Counting Crows new record "Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings" or buy it before March 31 you also get treated to a chance at pre-sale tickets. How awesome is that!?
