Cameron Crowe has explored the behind-the-scenes world of a rock band on the big screen with Almost Famous, and now he’ll do it on the small screen with Roadies. Showtime has released a 90-second trailer for the hourlong ensemble comedy, on which the Jerry Maguire and Singles writer-director serves as creator/writer/director/executive producer. (There are some other high-profile people behind the camera as well, including exec producers J.J. Abrams and Winnie Holtzman.)

Premiering June 26 at 10 p.m. ET and starring Luke Wilson and Carla Gugino, Roadies takes viewers behind the curtain of the music world, following the backstage staff on a U.S. tour for an arena-level group named The Staton-House Band. Click on the trailer to see why tour manager Bill (Wilson) surveys the bowels of an arena in transformation and declares, “Something … is in the air.” And, yes, that song is Eddie Vedder’s cover of “Hard Sun.”
