311 swings by south Flordia (University Press)

With a new album in stores called "Uplifter," the boys of 311 hope to have huge crowd at SunFest this year in West Palm Beach.

Their new hit single "Hey You" is now blasting on radio stations across the nation.

311's reggae-rock-sounds will kick off the SunFest festival in downtown West Palm Beach on Wednesday April 29 as they take the stage at 8:30 p.m. along with various other new bands.

"I'm really looking forward to this year's SunFest," says Kevin King, a graduate economics major. "I think it's going to have a really chill vibe, especially since 311 is playing. They've been my favorite band ever since they released their first album in 1990. Everyone should go check out their latest music."

The festival will last five days, ending on Sunday, May 3, and will also include bands such as Citizen Cope, Slightly Stoopid, Pepper, Cold War Kids, The Steve Miller Band, and G.Love & Special Sauce.

Along with various types of music, there will be other SunFest-ivities. Art shows will go on all throughout the weekend presenting works from artists all over the country.

There will also be three Captain Morgan Floating Oasis Barges on the water; one strictly serving Captain Morgan products, another featuring DJs and dance music, and a third with a southern theme highlighting dueling pianos.

At the closing of the festival on Sunday night, a firework show will be put on by Verizon Wireless. It will be one of the largest firework shows in the east coast.

Check out this local music festival next week. It should be five days filled with music, food, big crowds and great ocean views.
