Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals will headline the Orpheum Theater on Friday, April 28—the first night of Jazz Fest 2017.

The show marks the first stop on a brief North American run, which will bring the band through parts of the South and Florida. Harper and co. will be on the road in support of their latest Stax Records release, Call It What It Is.

Tickets for Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals will go on sale this Friday, December 2 at 10am.

Jazz Fest is still five months down the road, but the first after show announcements are already starting to pop up. Just yesterday, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats and JJ Grey & Mofro revealed their plans for a post-Fest concert at the Sugar Mill. More after shows will undoubtedly be confirmed as the spring approaches, and the official Jazz Fest lineup is expected to drop in early 2017.
