311 & Sublime with Rome announce summer tour, coming to Raleigh

The 1990s are still kicking, at least a little bit, as 311 and Sublime with Rome (they can't legally be called simply Sublime since frontman Bradley Nowell is dead and there are trademark issues) have announced a big summer tour.

Even though 311 played the Raleigh Amphitheater in 2010 and only sold 1,882 tickets, the band and Sublime with Rome have been booked into the big shed, Walnut Creek Amphitheater (Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion) on Tuesday, August 2. Tickets will go on sale on Friday, April 22 at 10 a.m. via the usual places.

311 are expected to release their tenth studio album ahead of the tour and Sublime with Rome have signed to Fueled By Ramen Records and are expected to release their debut album ahead of the tour as well.

On sale today: Stone Temple Pilots and 311

It's Friday, so there are tickets for a couple of shows going on sale which  are likely the last two shows of the Downtown Raleigh Amphitheater's inaugural season.

Tickets for Stone Temple Pilots show with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club on Tuesday, Oct. 5 will go on sale today, Aug. 20 at 10 a.m. here for $41.60 to $62.50.

311 announces fall tour, coming to Raleigh

Nebraska band 311 are another one of those bands from the 1990s who just keep on kicking for some reason. And like most of the bands of that era, they always seem to always find their way to Raleigh.

The band have just announced a fall tour that includes a stop at the Downtown Raleigh Amphitheater on Saturday, Oct. 30, the day before Halloween. Tickets for the show will go on sale on Friday, Aug. 20 at 10 a.m. here. Price points and an opening act have not been announced yet. They will be $29 to $51.50.

311 released their latest album Uplifter in June of 2009. Check out their current tour schedule below.
