Joining forces, hip-hop duo Atmosphere and sunshine reggae group Iration will take to stages across the U.S. for their Sunshine & Summer Nights Tour. They will be supported by Katastro, who mixes elements of alternative rock and hip-hop, and rapper and producer The Grouch with DJ Fresh. Tickets are available for purchase now, with the pre-sale beginning on April 13, 2022 and public sale beginning on April 15, 2022.
On the march, Atmosphere and Iration will also make pit stops to join festival lineups including those of the San Diego Bayfest in Sandiego, Calif. on July 9, 2022 and Reggae Rise Up Maryland in Baltimore on July 30, 2022.
Both Atmosphere and Iration are touring in support of recently released albums. Atmosphere, composed of rapper Slug and DJ and producer Ant, released WORD? in October 2021, which has received much praise. The album includes songs such as “Woes,” “Sleepless” featuring Nino Bless and “Barcade” featuring Aesop Rock and MF DOOM. In the time leading up to the summer tour, Atmosphere have celebrated the 20th anniversary of their second album Lucy Ford, which features songs like “Guns and Cigarettes” and “The Woman with the Tattooed Hands.”
Iration released their latest album Coastin’ in July 2020. According to mxdwn writer Liam Thropp, Coastin’ “is truly a melting pot of what this group is capable of” and displays to fans the “malleable nature of the reggae genre and Iration’s love for their own music.”
Both headliners have voiced their excitement to go on tour with each other and their supporting acts. Atmosphere’s Slug said, “We cannot wait to run around this summer making party with the people… I need to hear the sounds of smiles and feel the sun’s nourishment. Going out on the road with Iration is a blessing. They are pros at making party. We will bathe in the vibes.”
Iration have shared similar excitement for the musical medley they will create together alongside supporters Katastro and The Ground with DJ Fresh. Vocalist and guitarist Micah Pueschel said, “We’re incredibly stoked to be going out this summer alongside Atmosphere… They are a group that we have loved and listened to since our first tour. We’ve also got Katastro and The Grouch joining us who are great artists that will make the show a rad and diverse blend of sounds.”
Tickets for their stops on tour are available here with the option of VIP packages, which include a meet and greet, a pin set and a poster among other goodies.
