BY Gregory AdamsPublished May 2, 2016

Though the artists attached to the Mad Decent Block Party have yet to be revealed, Major Lazer and Jack Ü dude Diplo has announced that he's once again bringing his travelling fest to the masses this year.

The Mad Decent leader formally announced the tour route today (May 2), confirming that the 2016 edition of the Block Party hits 13 cities between late July and early October. While previous years hit Calgary and Vancouver, the only show on this side of the U.S./Canada border this time around takes place at Toronto's Fort York Garrison Commons on August 19.

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday (May 6). You can find out more info over here.
