After headlining the entertaining but underattended Huckleberry Jam festival in Donnelly last August, jam-band rockers Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals will return to Idaho for another performance in 2016.

This time, the group is headed to the Treasure Valley — and indoors, where they’re almost certain to pack the house.

Harper and his Criminals will appear June 30 at the 2,200-capacity Revolution Center in Garden City.

Tickets will cost $47.50 general admission, $77.50 VIP, and go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at Ticketfly. Each ticket comes with a CD copy of the group’s latest CD, “Call It What It Is,” which will be released April 8. You’ll receive an email about how to get it.

Harper, who has won three Grammy Awards, reunited with his backing band in 2015 after a several-year hiatus. That means fans definitely can expect to hear old favorites such as “Steal My Kisses” and “Burn One Down.” Here’s a recent setlist.
