Counting Crows rose to prominence in the 1990s with hits like “Mr. Jones” off their smash 1993 debut album “August and Everything After.” They maintained notoriety into the millennium with a string of successful releases punctuated by the 2004 single “Accidentally in Love,” which remains a collective favorite off the “Shrek 2” soundtrack.

Switchfoot, the Crows’ alternative compatriots, enjoyed similar success in the early 2000s. “Meant To Live” and a re-record of popular single “Dare You to Move” emerged as enduring tracks off the group’s 2004 album “The Beautiful Letdown.”

The two bands join past headliners like last year’s double bill of All American Rejects and Bret Michaels, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rick Springfield, Journey and many others in the concert’s 34-year history. The 2026 event will mark both groups’ inaugural Carb Day performance.

Counting Crows and Switchfoot join popular EDM artist Zedd as the confirmed headliners for this year’s Indy 500 entertainment. The German producer will lead up the crop of DJs scheduled for the Snake Pit on race day, May 24.
