The text between the clips revealed the popular '90s hip-hop duo will be returning to the stage together for two sets in Europe this summer. They'll be performing at the Summerblast Festival, presented by MTV, on Aug. 26 in Croatia, and the Livewire Festival on Aug. 27 in the U.K.

"First two shows are locked!! Y'all ready?" Smith, who goes by the rap name "The Fresh Prince," captioned his post, while Jeff wrote, "Yup..and THIS IS FINALLY HAPPENING!!! #JJFPReturn #vinyldestination."

They earned a second GRAMMY for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 1992 for their most popular song, "Summertime," off their fourth studio album, Homebase.
