It’s lining up to be another big season of live shows for one of Reggae-Rocks top headliners, Slightly Stoopid, as the group has finally announced all the details surrounding their Summer Sessions 2014 tour.
There are many traditions associated with summer and for the past seven years, performing at amphitheaters around the US has become a tradition for Slightly Stoopid and their fans. This summer, the San Diego based ensemble will bring their Summer Sessions 2014 tour to 25 cities nationwide. Helping them deliver ultimate jam sessions will be some of Stoopid’s friends, and favorite artists, adored acts that have been on various tours with the group in years past.
Performing for the entire Summer Sessions journey will be none other than 7-time Grammy winner Stephen “Ragga” Marley. Marley has been promoting his upcoming album, Revelation Part 2: The Fruit of Life, of which there’s no set release date. After his spring run, Marley is lined up for a set June 26 at the Electric Forest Festival before joining up with Stoopid in Eugene, Oregon to kicks things off on July 9th.
Also joining Slightly Stoopid on tour during select dates only will be D.I.Y. legends NOFX, hip-hop icons Cypress Hill, and Stoopid’s long-time musical conspirator’s G. Love & Special Sauce. NOFX will play as direct support on just four California dates, including shows at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, CA and the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine. Cypress Hill will be added for just three dates, shows in Albuquerque, Phoenix and Santa Barbara. The Summer Sessions 2014 tour will round out its west coast dates with an annual hometown show at San Diego, CA’s Sleep Train Amphitheater on Saturday, July 26. From there, the band will head over to the East Coast, performing in Boston before playing the Gathering of the Vibes music festival in Bridgeport, CT. From there, the band will make their way down the coast to Philadelphia, Asbury Park, Baltimore, Raleigh, Atlanta and Boca Raton, among many other cities, before wrapping August 23.
