Hip-hop/jazz fusionists Digable Planets, who reunited for recent festival appearances, have announced their first major tour since 2005. Included: Two dates at the Regent Theater, Aug. 21-22.

The trio of Mary Ann “Ladybug Mecca” Vieira, Craig “Doodlebug” Irving and Ishmael “Butterfly” Butler first made their mark with the 1993 debut album “Reachin’ (A New Refutation of Time and Space).” After their second album, the three set off on solo careers, first getting back together in 2005 to support the release of a compilation album. Until this year, though, the original lineup hasn’t been reassembled.
