"We're incredibly stoked to be going out this summer alongside Atmosphere," shares Iration lead vocalist/guitarist Micah Pueschel. "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. See you out there!"

"We cannot wait to run around this summer making party with the people," adds Slug of Atmosphere. "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 - Micah Pueschel [lead vocals/guitar], Adam Taylor [bass], Joe Dickens [drums], Cayson Peterson [keyboard/synth], Micah Brown [guitar/vocals] - is touring in support of their latest full-length album Coastin', which debuted at #2 on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart upon its June 2020 release.

A record about being thankful for the moments that we have, Coastin' (Three Prong Records), the band's seventh full-length studio album, is a 13-song musical journey showcasing Iration's distinct hybrid style of music blending rock and reggae with elements of pop and newly incorporated R&B, funk and jazz sounds, set against meaningful and personal lyrics that push positivity, good vibes and good feelings into the world. Coastin', declared "truly a melting pot of what this group is capable of" by mxdwn, features the singles "Right Here Right Now," "Move Forward," "Coastin'" and "Chill Out" along with guest appearances from Common Kings and Eli-Mac.

Since their formation over 15 years ago, Iration has racked up more than 1 billion total streams worldwide and established themselves as one of the most popular reggae-rock bands in the world. Their previous albums Hotting Up [2015] and Automatic [2013] both peaked at #1 on Billboard's Reggae Albums Chart with Iration [2018], Double Up [2016] and Time Bomb [2010] each reaching #2 on the chart. The celebrated five-piece, fresh off a triple-header weekend back home in Hawaii, will take their vivacious live performance to select cities this spring on their headlining Zen Island Tour, which commences May 5th in Denver and concludes May 27th back in California for the band's triumphant return to the BottleRock Napa Valley music festival.

Throughout their impressive and growing career, Iration has also brought their aloha spirit to such festivals as Lollapalooza, Hangout, SXSW, Life Is Beautiful and Outside Lands and special events for the San Francisco Giants, San Francisco 49ers and Bernie Sanders, in addition to selling out headlining shows across the country and touring alongside such artists as Slightly Stoopid, Rebelution, Sublime With Rome, UB40, Dirty Heads, 311, and many more.

Atmosphere - rapper Slug and DJ/producer Ant - is touring in support of their most recent album WORD?, released October 2021 via Rhymesayers Entertainment, which debuted at #4 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and #29 overall and has accrued over 5 million streams on Spotify to date. The 14-track collection features "Barcade" (feat. Aesop Rock & MF DOOM), "Woes," and "Clocked." WORD? has received rave reviews with Under The Radar Magazine hailing the album "successfully proves that Atmosphere still have the chops to pull off a compelling record" and HotNewHipHop stating, "it's all Atmosphere, who remain in fine form both lyrically and behind the boards."

For over two decades, Atmosphere have quietly influenced and instigated progression of hip-hop as evidenced by sales of 2 million-plus units independently and over 1 billion streams. Atmosphere is celebrating the 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking sophomore album, Lucy Ford, in 2022 and in honor of the occasion will release the album on vinyl for the first time ever on Friday, May 27.
