Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals will play a concert at Falconer Salen in Frederiksberg on September 22 as part of a world tour, promoting their first new album in eight years, reports Gaffa magazine.

The ‘Call it what it is’ album is set for release on April 8 and the musicians will kick off their 60-date world tour on April 2 in Port Chester, New York.

Harper and the Innocent Criminals have been collaborating since 1993, and in 1994 they released their first studio album ‘Welcome to the cruel world’.

Getting back together
In 2008, they decided to take a break and hadn’t played together until last year, when they reunited to record the new album.

Their music has been described as an idiosyncratic mix of rock, soul, reggae and blues.

Last time the band performed in Denmark was in 2004 at Roskilde Festival.

Tickets for the Danish concert go on sale on February 12 at 10 am on Billetnet.dk and livenation.dk and will cost 550 kroner plus fees.
