The Black Crowes' 2026 Tour: Setlist Surprises and Nostalgic Journeys
The Black Crowes kicked off their highly anticipated 2026 tour in Melbourne, Australia, with a setlist that surprised fans. They opened with "Profane Prophecy" from their upcoming album, A Pound of Feathers, and also played "Pharmacy Chronicles" along with popular hits like "Twice as Hard," "Jealous Again," and "She Talks to Angels." The setlist included rare tracks like "Movin' On Down the Line" from their 2008 Warpaint album and a cover of Faces' "Three Button Hand Me Down," which they hadn't played in over 35 years.
"Three Button Hand Me Down" is a classic song from Faces' 1970 debut album, First Step, featuring former members of Small Faces and The Jeff Beck Group. Despite not being a big hit initially, the song has become a favorite among fans. The Australian concert gave a glimpse of what American audiences can expect when the Crowes start their Summer Hospitality tour in May.
Frontman Chris Robinson hinted at bringing back old favorites for the American tour, promising surprises for long-time fans. He expressed excitement about the audience's connection to their music and hoped for more live engagement and less phone distraction during the shows. The upcoming tour is set to be a nostalgic journey for fans of The Black Crowes, with a mix of classic hits and rare gems from their extensive catalog.
