"We are very excited to announce that we will be joining our brothers from Slightly Stoopid, J Boog and The Movement this summer on the Sounds of Summer 2017 Tour," shares IRATION. "We have toured with The Movement before but this is our FIRST TOUR! with both Stoopid and Boog, which makes it very special. Plus, we love the Hot Rain band, so vibes are soaring at the moment. We look forward to seeing you this summer!" IRATION released their all-acoustic album DOUBLE UP digitally December 2, 2016 via their own Three Prong Records. The 10-track album features a mix of the band's hits from their previous releases, including "Reelin" off their most recent full-length Hotting Up (2015); "One Way Track" and "Back Around" from 2013's Automatic; "Summer Nights" from their Fresh Grounds EP (2011); and "Time Bomb" and "Falling" off 2010's Time Bomb. Both Hotting Up and Automatic peaked at #1 on Billboard's Reggae Albums Chart with Time Bomb reaching #2 on the chart. IRATION is currently in the studio working on new music.DATE | CITY | VENUE | |
