Bensalem, Pa.'s Christina Perri, the pop singer-songwriter known for her soulful tune "Jar of Hearts," heads to Philadelphia this summer. She's teaming up with laid-back, acoustic pop singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat for "The Girls Night Out, Boys Can Come Too Tour."

Perri and Caillat will head to the Mann Center on Saturday, July 11, and tickets for the show go on sale Friday, April 10 at 10 a.m. The big summer tour will bring the pair all over the country and to Canada for more than two dozen shows through August. Pop singer-songwriter Rachel Platten will accompany the two on tour.

Perri's last album, "Head or Heart," released in April 2014, included the singles "Burning Gold" and "Human." The Philadelphia show will be a homecoming of sorts for the artist, who even has a Philly skyline tattoo on her arm.

Grammy-winner Caillat released her latest album, "Gypsy Heart," in September 2014. Her lyric video for empowering single "Try" featured stars like Sheryl Crow, Miranda Lambert, Hayden Panettiere and Perri without makeup to send a positive message about body image.
