311 Dishes out 411 with Summer Tour (liveDaily)

Alt-rockers 311 have locked down plans for a new greatest-hits album and a summer U.S. tour.

Dubbed the 2004 Summer Unity Tour, the outing starts in mid-June, and is scheduled run through early August. Medeski, Martin & Wood and The Roots will support on most dates, though The Roots will be the lone show-opener on several stops; details are shown in the itinerary below. Ticket on-sale dates are locked down for many of the shows, and registered users of the band's website have access to online pre-sales. Details are posted at the band's website.

Included in 311's itinerary is a free performance in the group's hometown of Omaha, NE, part of Omaha's 150th birthday celebration. "We were so thrilled to be asked to be a part of Omaha's 150th Birthday," frontman Nick Hexum said in a statement. "We're very proud of our Nebraskan roots and we feel it's always given our band a uniquely Midwestern attitude. 'Work hard and appreciate your blessings!' That's what we say."
