Following several very successful headlining tours and festival performances, IRATION is ready to step it up to the festival headlining slot for the first annual Blaze ‘N’ Glory Festival, taking place May 15-16 at the San Manuel Amphitheater Festival Grounds in San Bernardino, CA. The reggae-influenced alternative rockers will headline Friday night (5/15) of the festival, which also includes performances from Saturday night headliners Slightly Stoopid, Rebelution, Method Man, Redman, Pepper and more. Early bird tickets go on-sale next Friday, February 13 at 10am PT at www.BlazeNGlory.com.
This exciting announcement comes just one week before the Hawaiian-bred, Santa Barbara, CA-based group—Micah Pueschel (vocals/guitar), Adam Taylor (bass), Joseph Dickens (drums), Cayson Peterson (keyboard/synth) and Joseph King (engineer)–head out on their “Tales From The Sea” national headlining tour with support from Stick Figure and Hours Eastly. Kicking off Friday, February 13 in Reno, NV, the coast-to-coast run will also include a stop at New York’s Irving Plaza on Friday, April 24. Confirmed tour dates are listed below and info for tickets on-sale now can be found at http://irationmusic.com/tour.
“The ocean is and always will be a source of inspiration and life for us,” the band explains of the tour’s name. “Each song is a different tale to tell and we can’t wait to share them. The set list will consist of new songs, older songs, and songs we haven’t played live before. Along with Stick Figure and Hours Eastly, we can’t wait to come to your town.”
Following the “Tales From The Sea” tour, IRATION will take the stage for the Big Guava Festival in Tampa, FL May 8, Reggae On the Block in Orlando, FL May 9, Hangout Festival in Gulf Shores, AL May 17 and the Cali Roots Festival in Monterey, CA on May 24. In addition, the group will return to the Pacific Amphitheatre in Costa Mesa, CA for the third summer in a row for a July 18 headlining show as part of the OC Fair concert series. Stay tuned for more dates to be added to the band’s schedule.
IRATION is touring behind their third full-length album AUTOMATIC, which debuted at #1 on both the Billboard and iTunes Reggae Albums charts, as well as #7 on the iTunes Overall Albums chart, #75 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart and #17 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart upon its release summer 2013. AUTOMATIC has helped propel IRATION’s career to a new level, and the response from fans, critics and industry has been overwhelmingly positive.
