Matchbox Twenty is the band behind instantly stuck-in-your-head tunes like “3 a.m.” and “Push,” while Counting Crows is known for “Mr. Jones,” “Big Yellow Taxi” and the Academy Award-nominated “Accidentally in Love,” which appeared on the “Shrek 2” soundtrack.

Presale tickets and VIP packages are available to members of both bands’ fan clubs starting Tuesday and to the general public Friday. For more information about presale tickets and VIP packages, visit matchboxtwenty.com and countingcrows.com.
