Get ready, Ontario: esteemed dance trio A Tribe Called Red have just expanded their summer tour schedule with a pile of shows in Canada's largest province.

These shows are presented with help from the Ontario Arts Council. A press release explains, "The goal is to present top quality shows directly on reserve, by partnering with communities and bringing a mobile stage and lighting on site." See A Tribe Called Red's full live schedule below.
