When the recent exciting news that the 'Full Flex Express Tour' (the 2012 Skrillex tour featuring DiploGrimes and Pretty Lights, which was inspired by the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin‘s infamous 1970 train tour across Canada, which was filmed and can be seen in the 2003 documentary Festival Express) would be returning to Canada, we knew that its first year back following its unfortunate cancellation would be taking the tour to new heights. Now, the lineup for the tour has been announced and it does not disappoint.

Just as the 2012 year provided a great amount of musical diversity, this year's eight-date trek (an upgrade from the original tour's six dates) across Canada will be following suit. Skrillex will be joined by Diplo for a Jack U set to headline each date of the tour. Fans can expect a live performance of "Take U There" from the track's vocalist Kiesza, who is also featured on the lineup. Also on the bill are Zeds Dead, A$AP Ferg, Tycho, Hundred Waters and b2b sets from Anna Lunoe and Mija. This incredible lineup is one that fans will not want to miss in action.

The tour, which kicks off on July 8, will hit the Canadian cities of Ottawa, Quebec City, Montreak, Toronto, Saskatoon, Calgary and Pemberton. Tickets are now available on the Full Flex Express Tour website. Check out the list of tour dates below.
