Michael Franti & Spearhead will head out on the road this summer in support of their upcoming album, Stay Human 2, which will be out in June and will coincide with the Franti-directed documentary, Stay Human.

“I’ve traveled the globe making music and throughout the years I’ve always hoped that it could inspire small steps towards making the world a better place,” Franti says in a release. “Struggling with the challenges of the world I began filming my new documentary, Stay Human, telling the stories of heroic everyday people who helped me to discover more deeply what it means to be and STAY HUMAN.”

Franti and company kick off their tour with a slot at Colorado’s famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre with Xavier Rudd and will travel both coasts extensively. See the full announced dates below. Franti is currently in Australia for Byron Bay BluesFest and will premiere his documentary Stay Human at next month’s Asbury Park Music + Film Festival. All tour information can be found here.
