Major Lazer announced their 2013 World Tour today and they are making a stop in Carrboro on March 7, just two days after Alt-J (and only a few weeks after Tame Impala…the Cradle is doing work).

Major Lazer’s second full length album, Free The Universe, is due out February 19th and you can check out the single “Jah No Partial” featuring Flux Pavilion below. Imagine that kind of live experience at the Cradle!
