Ziggy and Gov’t Mule join forces for Dreaming The Same Dread fall tour

Ziggy Marley and Gov’t Mule – led by Warren Haynes – are joining forces this fall for their Dreaming The Same Dream Tour! The 16-date co-headlining fall outing – also featuring a guest DJ set from YOLA – reunites Marley and Haynes who have notably collaborated to co-write the song “Dreaming the Same Dream,” of which the tour is named after. Launch September 23rd in New York City at The Rooftop at Pier 17, the tour continues with six cities in Florida (Key West, Hollywood, St. Augustine, Clearwater, Ft. Myers and Tallahassee), and then heading to Tuscaloosa, Atlanta, and then closing it out with four nights across Texas (Sugar Land, San Antonio, Austin and Irving).

On-sale will will happen Friday, June 5th at 10am local time. $2 per ticket will be donated to Food For The Poor Jamaica to provide relief and humanitarian efforts in the wake of Hurricane Melissa, the most destructive storm in Jamaica’s history. Food for the Poor will directly support ongoing shelter needs, food, clean water access and medical care – as well the long-term rebuilding of communities in
Jamaica.

“It’s gonna be a great jam session being on tour with Warren and the crew,” says Ziggy. “I’m looking forward to the vibes.”

“I’m really looking forward to the tour with Ziggy Marley,” shares Haynes. “We’ve known each other a long time and have shared the stage a few times but never done a tour together. There’s definitely an overlap between the two audiences, but I think a lot of Mule fans will be hearing Ziggy for the first time and a lot of Ziggy fans will be hearing Mule for the first time, which is great.”

Ziggy released his 9th album, Brightside, earlier this month—his first studio album in 8 years. The record includes standout tracks such as “Racism Is A Killa,” featuring Big Boi of famed hip hop duo Outkast, and “Many Mourn For Bob,” a powerful tribute to the legacy of his father, Bob Marley. The eight songs were co-produced by Ziggy and his brother Stephen and recorded at his newly built Rebel Lion Studio in Los Angeles alongside a myriad of longtime collaborators, including vocalist Nikka Costa, Trombone Shorty, Sheila E. and Jake Shimaburkuro. Additionally, Ziggy will kick off his Brightside Tour of North America this summer on June 19 th at Fox Tucson Theatre in Tucson, AZ. The 20-date tour will make stops in major markets all around the country before concluding on July 22 nd in Nantucket,
MA. The upcoming shows include a night at the iconic Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, CA on June 21 st , as well as a performance at the famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre as part of Stephen Marley’s Kaya Fest.

Ziggy also recently launched an exciting collaboration with Waze to celebrate his new album, lending his calming and melodic voice to the app’s navigation system. His thoughtful observations –shared in tandem with turn-by-turn directions–were recorded in the same 432Hz mediative frequency as Brightside, bringing a soothing energy to users’ driving experience.
