311 Plans Free Shows, Fall Tour

With its summer roadwork ending over the weekend, 311 has confirmed the majority of its fall U.S. tour. The run will get underway Oct. 15 with a free Honda-sponsored show in the lot of Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium. After a few rehearsal days, the tour begins Oct. 19 in San Diego with dates through late November.

A mix of theaters and colleges are on the list, with eight stops still to be determined at deadline, including a "special Halloween show," according to the band's official Web site.

The free L.A. show is part of a Civic Live! series of events Honda is throwing around the country to promote the 2006 model. It began over the weekend with a Staind performance in New York, with tickets distributed to registrants online at CivicLive.Honda.com.

Upcoming shows include Hot Hot Heat, Von Bondies and Plain White Ts Saturday (Sept. 24) in Chicago; Damian Marley and Pitbull Oct. 1 in Miami; and John Legend and Common Oct. 29 in Washington, D.C. Also on tap is an Oct. 22 event in San Francisco with an artist to be announced.

311 is touring in support of its latest album, "Don't Tread on Me" (Volcano/Zomba), which recently debuted at No. 5 on The Billboard 200.
