THE BLACK CROWES TO HEADLINE NEW YEAR’S SHOW AT MSG:

October 17, 2005

NEW YORK (Billboard) – The Black Crowes have tapped My Morning Jacket and the North Mississippi Allstars for a New Year’s Eve show at New York’s Madison Square Garden, marking the reunited rock act’s first headlining concert at the venue.

The Crowes are in the midst of the last leg of their scheduled tour, which encompasses a five-night stand at Los Angeles’ Henry Fonda Theater that kicks off Tuesday (October 18). No shows are scheduled between an October 31 Halloween gig in Chicago and the New Year’s concert.

A five-night run of shows at San Francisco’s Fillmore was filmed for a DVD, with a release date and label to be announced.

My Morning Jacket is touring North American in support of its brand new ATO/RCA album, “Z,” which debuted last week at No. 67 on the Billboard 200. North Mississippi Allstars will return to live duty October 29 at the Vegoose Festival in Las Vegas.

Tickets for the New Year’s Eve show go on sale Saturday (October 22) via Ticketmaster.
