311 in Concert
311 defined the 90s with a style that many bands would come to embrace – folding rap into more traditional forms like alternative rock and reggae. Their early 90s' hits "Down" and "All Mixed Up," tracks that carried their self-titled album to the No. 12 spot on The Billboard 200, introduced the world to an original sound that remains popular today. "Over the past few years, we've realized we're primarily a live band...and we're damn glad for that," said lead singer, Nick Hexum. Their fan base, dubbed the "The Hive", agree because every 311 concert is an intense, trippy and emotional ride. 311's most recent album Universal Pulse reached No. 1 on Billboard's Tastemaker Albums and Independent Albums charts.
With foresight and two decades of solid hits, 311 has turned the police code for streaking in Nebraska into an instantly recognized symbol for the meeting of ska, rap metal and jazz fusion. The band began in Omaha, Nebraska with Nick Hexum, Tim Mahoney, Chad Sexton, P-Nut and SA Martinez. The band went through several independent releases before signing with Capricorn Records in 1992. Their last album, in 2011, Universal Pulse, debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Top 200. Since the introduction of their first album Music in 1993, 311 has released Grassroots, 311, Transistor, Soundsystem, From Chaos, Evolver, Don't Tread on Me, Uplifter and Universal Pulse. On every even-numbered year since 2000, the date 3/11 has meant the 3-11 Day Concert, when the band performs an extremely extended set. Fans who bought tickets to 3-11 Day in 2012 saw the band perform 79 songs over two days in Las Vegas. If you're looking for their 2014 album, it will be out on — you guessed it — March 11.
In the summer of 2019, 311 is touring with Dirty Heads for what they said will be a hybrid of "alternative sound and good vibes." The U.S. tour runs July 2-Aug. 20. They will be joined by pop trios Dreamers and Bikini Trill for all shows, with special guest performances by The Interrupters on all but six dates.

UNBELIEVABLE!!! A MUST SEE FOR ANY 311 FAN! and with Ziggy! oh my!
This is the most amazing concert I have ever seen!! You will be amazed at the light show. The bass solo from peanut rocked the house. This venue is the perfect place to see a concert. Be sure to bring your best buy rewards card since there is a place just for you. Included in the card holders section is a bar, clean restrooms, and air-conditioning. That is very important before a rockin show. Be prepared to enjoy the show and dance till you fall over. This was and will be the greatest concert I have ever seen. Go ahead and kick yourself if you didn't go. Love the music!
Well the tailgate was a blast as usual! The security by the medical hut was extremely rude, treating nice people with honest questions like criminals. I almost got arrested for placing my hand on this guy's back in attempt to confront him. Other than that, great music, great bands, great tour every year!! Keep coming back!
Of course, 311 rocked ATL again...the boys even sold me on the new album stuff that I had not heard before. If you want to experience the positiveness 311 is a must see-you'll keep coming back for more.
I had the most fun i hasve ever had at the Lakewood. I couldn't keep still. I am such a hardcore fan now.
This show was one of the best. I went to see Ziggy and of course he was awesome. He has such a message in his music; it feeds the soul and nourishes the heart. I never miss him when he comes with in 200 miles of my local. As far as 311 goes, I wasn't really a fan. I new a few of their main hits but other than that I was completely ignorant to the scene that is 311. Much to my pleasant surprise 311 has rocked my world. Their music is shockingly diverse and oozing with talent. The crowd interaction and stage presence can't be beat by anybody. Their super fans drive the audience to a frenzy which in turns feeds the band into selling it even harder. They killed it. It was a completely awesome experience and I will never miss another 311 show again. FYI - I am a high school teacher, 42 years old and a mother of two. This show spanned the demographics and I would highly recommend it to everyone.
Due to the fact it was the 4th of July and the fact that it was Ziggy Marley and 311 We were expecting it to be quite a show. Ziggy Marley was very short and the energy was little to none. It was as if he didn't want to be there. Not the best show this year. The fireworks were great, oh and it was a little of a pain in the rear that we paid for parking but they didn't open the lot until 4:30pm causing the ride down to get there early and enjoy the day hard to do from the parking lot of the gas station across the street while trying to dodge a man trying to charge us $20.00 to be in the public parking lot while we were waiting for the lot to open. if we has know we wouldn't be able to get into the parking lot until 4:30 we would not have paid the $25.00 to park there.
Being 4th of July, this was one of the best things, if not the best thing to do for the holiday. Everyone was in a great mood, the bands were amazing, the staff was for the most part friendly. The only thing is that 311 didn't play for as long as we had all hoped and expected. However, for the time that they were on they were full of energy and kept a great vibe going. Ziggy Marley and the Expendables were also great and entertaining.
The concert was better than ever, i love when 311 comes to atlanta. The fireworks after the show were totally unexpected and awesome. All of the bands were really into the show and i think it was amazing.
great show but too much from the recent album and not enough of the older stuff which is what I really wanted to hear
This was the first time I have attended a concert at Lakewood amp. 311 with Ziggy Marley and The Expendables was great. Music was perfect with no mistakes. People would hold up there lighters during some songs. Just a great overall performance. I will sure be attending more concerts in the future !!!
I've been to Lakewood a bunch of times, but I'd never seen 311, Ziggy, or the Expendables and they were all awesome!!! It was just such a great atmosphere and they all put on a great show.
Being from southern California, it was nice to see a taste of California come to Atlanta...longtime fan of 311 and Ziggy Marley (and his late father as well), the band Expendables were a great band outta Santa Cruz with a 311 style sound. Sound quality was great, and the seating was really good, no bad seat in the house. Ziggy, in my opinion, is the only one of his late father, Bob Marley's sons, that carries on his music and message the way he did, and for a minute there, could actually SEE his father singing! Well done Ziggy! Now for 311, what else can I say? They brought the house down, with a great mix of old and new tunes, with their mix of rock, rap and reggae which has always sounded original and now emulated by many new bands out there. Great job!
They did not play any classics..new songs are good but needed more older classics! For example, Transistor and Who's Got the Herb.
The sixth time I've seen 311 and as usual they did not let me down. Thanks 311 and Ziggy for giving Atlanta a wonderful Independance Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was okay but i really did not think that it was anything special. The Expendables were pretty good though. In my opinion they were the best performance of the night.
This show was pretty good, but far too short. 311 didn't play enough of their old songs, and the show ended with fireworks, but they should have played an encore after the fireworks, or played something during them instead of a recording of classical music. A good show in general, but a bad show for 311.
Over all the show was good. The biggest disappointment is that The Expendables were only on for 30 min. I felt very shortchanged. Ziggy puts on a good show and gets people into it. 311 was good when they played their older songs. Their new music is good if your still in high school i suppose, but i only enjoyed their previous albums. They ended the show very well.
Best band ever live! if you havn't seen them you are missing out.
so much fun... the best concert ever. cant wiat till they come back!!!
