Michael Franti & Spearhead

Acclaimed musician, activist, and humanitarian, Michael Franti is set to make 2025 a landmark year with the release of his highly anticipated 14th studio album, Welcome to the Family, available March 28, 2025, via Boo Boo Wax/Thirty Tigers. In celebration of the album, Franti & Spearhead will embark on the Welcome to the Family Tour, a nationwide summer trek focused on spreading unity, connection, and positivity through music.

The Welcome to the Family Tour kicks off in May 2025, with stops including Vina Robles Amphitheatre, Friday, August 15, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Pier 17, and more. Known for his immersive live performances, Franti transforms his concerts into spaces of joy and connection, often performing from the crowd and inviting fans on stage. “This tour isn’t just about the music—it’s about celebrating what really matters: connection, resilience, and finding light even in tough times,” Franti explains. "We’re also excited to welcome our friends Allen Stone, Niko Moon, Bombargo, The Elovators, and Ripe on this tour. They’re all incredibly talented and truly embody what the Welcome to the Family Tour is all about," he added.

Tickets for the Vina Robles Amphitheatre performance are available via Ticketmaster, Friday, March 28, at 10AM.

In addition to the new album and tour, Franti is preparing for the third voyage of Soulshine at Sea, his immersive music and wellness cruise. Soulshine at Sea 3 will set sail in November 2025, featuring an all-star lineup of artists and an unforgettable experience that blends live music, wellness offerings from hiit classes to yoga, guest speakers, and community. The event, which includes performances from artists such as Dispatch, Allen Stone, Hirie, and Tropidelic, sold out a full year in advance, underscoring the deep connection and excitement surrounding Franti’s extended musical family.

Beyond music, Franti continues to grow his forty-room, five-star boutique retreat in Ubud, Indonesia, Soulshine Bali, dedicated to wellness, creativity, and human connection. He and his wife also founded Do It For The Love, a nonprofit that grants live music experiences to individuals facing life-threatening illnesses, veterans, and children with severe challenges. Since its inception, the foundation has granted over 3,500 wishes, touching more than 15,000 lives worldwide.

Franti’s career is defined by his ability to turn hardship into hope, fostering unity through music, activism, and philanthropy. Whether on stage, at his Bali retreat, or through his foundation, his purpose remains the same: to bring people together, lift spirits, and remind us all that we are part of something bigger.
