The Counting Crows and the Goo Goo Dolls will tour together this summer across North America.

The two rock bands will hit the road on June 17 in Las Vegas and won’t stop until they wrap up the tour in Dallas on September 9.

The Counting Crows have sold over 20 million CDs worldwide, and the Goo Goo Dolls have released some of the most-played songs in the history of radio (”Iris,” “Better Days”), so how do the bands decide who goes first and who closes the show on the co-headlining tour?

“We want to go first,” Goo Goo Dolls frontman Johnny Rzeznik told andPOP recently. “I need to get to bed early. I’m not a young man anymore.”

Tickets go on sale this weekend through Ticketmaster.
