Harper’s latest album, Both Sides of the Gun, was released last week to strong sales and critical acclaim, debuting at number seven on billboard. Many cuts off the double album will prominently be featured on the upcoming tour.

"I'm jumping out of my skin," Harper told Rolling Stone concerning the new material. "I can hardly sit still. I just can't wait to get it out and play it."

The son of Bob Marley, Damian Marley is currently on tour in support of his latest album, Welcome to Jamrock, which was released last September. Before joining up with Harper, Marley will be making appearances at this year's Coachella and Bonnaroo music festivals, in April and June, respectively.
