Every other year on March 11 (“311 Day”), the multi-platinum rock group 311 holds a special concert event that attracts thousands of fans from around the world. This year’s “311 Day” will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena with special performances Saturday, March 10 and Sunday, March 11, 2012. Tickets are on sale now and the purchase of one ticket grants access to both performances.
Billed as “the ultimate 311 concert experience”, “311 Day” is the premier event for 311 fans to gather and celebrate their love of the band and to witness an extraordinary show. 311 plays an extended setlist of hits, rarities, covers and classics; backed by a state-of-the-art light and special effects show. Past shows have also included appearances by circus performers, aerial acrobats, fire twirlers, stilt walkers, drumlines, and marching bands.
March 11 is considered a holiday to 311 fans around the globe and the band’s dedicated fans will travel to the “311 Day” show from far and wide. 311 Day was last in Las Vegas in 2010 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center. The show sold out in advance and tickets were sold to fans in all 50 U.S. states and 13 different countries. The band played a five-hour show (60 songs) for the sold-out crowd. Due to the huge success and excitement surrounding the 2010 show, the band decided to return to Vegas for a two night celebration in 2012.
It’s clear that “311 Day” has become more than a concert. It’s a true happening; an event that began organically and has taken on a life of its own. On March 10 & 11, 2012, Las Vegas will be swarming with 311 fans from around the country & around the globe – meeting together to celebrate and experience the music of 311.
The “311 Day” concert at MGM Grand Garden Arena, scheduled for March 10 and 11 is on sale now at any MGM Grand Box Office outlet, all Ticketmaster locations, and online at www.Ticketmaster.com or www.mgmgrand.com. Tickets priced at $102 and $135 (plus fees) are limited to six (6) per person.

12/13: 311 brings 'Universal Pulse' tour to Comerica Theatre (AZ Central)
A near-constant presence on modern-rock radio formats since they topped the charts in 1996 with "Down," 311 will bring their "Universal Pulse" tour to Comerica Theatre on Friday, Dec. 13.
Released this summer, "Universal Pulse" became their seventh consecutive Top 10 entry on the Billboard album charts (or eight if you throw in their greatest hits collection). Rolling Stone said "Universal Pulse" finds 311 "embracing their role as ambassadors of summer fun." And this being Arizona, there's no reason not to have some summer fun in mid-December.
Tickets are $48 and $38, or $99 for a 4-pack, going on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 7, at livenation.com, the Comerica box office, all Ticketmaster outlets or, by phone, at 800-745-3000.

Rock band 311 to headline another Carnival cruise (USA Today)
The rock band 311 will be heading out to sea again in 2012, this time on a cruise to the Bahamas.
Atlanta-based music cruise organizer Sixthman this week announced the chart-topping alternative rock group will be holding its second annual fan cruise next May on the 2,642-passenger Carnival Destiny. The four-night trip will kick off May 10 in Miami and include a call at a private island in the Bahamas.
The band's first fan cruise, a four-night trip to the Turks & Caicos, took place in March and was a sell-out success, Sixthman says.
In addition to holding two performances, 311 plans to host a Q&A session with fans on the upcoming voyage. In an unusual twist for fan cruises, the band also says it'll pose for a picture with every fan who wants one.
Details of the new sailing are online at 311cruise.com, and fans can begin signing up for spots on the ship this week, though formal bookings won't be taken until October. Fans who sailed with the band this year can formally book the new trip starting on Oct. 10; all other fans can book beginning Oct. 18.

311 Cruise (Salt Lake Tribune)
311 and the music-cruise company Sixthman just announced that the band is taking fans on vacation once again, launching the second annual 311 Caribbean Cruise May 10-14, 2012, on the Carnival Destiny.
The ship will leave from Miami and dock in Half Moon Cay (a private island in the Bahamas), staying for two days of music, sand, sun and fun before returning to Florida.
In addition to seeing two special 311 shows and performances by many supporting artists and DJs, every fan on the cruise will get a personal photo with the band, and will have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session with the band.
From the press release:
On the previous cruise 311 band members even participated in various events onboard. Bassist P-Nut played in a basketball tournament with fans, Vocalist Nick Hexum judged a 311 Karaoke contest and Vocalist SA Martinez did a DJ session at one of the ships nightclubs. The 2012 311 Caribbean Cruise will once again include lots of onboard games & activities (casino gambling, swimming, karaoke, 311 trivia contest, cannonball contest, bingo, movie screenings, late-night dance parties, etc) and many excursions will be available on Half Moon Cay (snorkeling, horseback riding, jet-skiing, fishing, biking, etc) making this an unparalleled fan experience for 311 fans from around the world.
Last year's cruisers had the time of their lives - and 311 & Sixthman plan to make the 2012 cruise even better. The 2011 311 Caribbean Cruise included fans from all 50 US States and 12 countries. It's this extreme affinity for 311 that the band and Sixthman are excited to celebrate on board. Last year's cruise sold out quickly; fans who want to come along should book quickly. When was the last time you cruised to a private island with your favorite band? Get on the boat with 311!!!

Cruisin’ With 311 (Pollstar)
311 will return to the sea when the band embarks on its second ocean cruise in May.
The “311 Caribbean Cruise” departs Miami May 10, taking the band and its fans on a roundtrip voyage onboard the Carnival Destiny to privately owned Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas for two days of fun, beach and music before returning May 14.
Along with pleasures only found when soaking up that Caribbean sun, 311 will perform two special shows, pose for a personal photo with each and every fan and partake in a no-holds-barred Q&A. There will also be plenty of music provided by support artists and DJs.
Arranged by Atlanta-based Sixthman, the 2012 cruise marks the second time 311 has sailed with the company. On the band’s first time at sea bassist P-Nut played in a basketball tournament with fans, SA Martinez took on the roll of DJ at one of the ship’s nightclubs and Nick Hexum judged a 311 Karaoke contest.
For this cruise Sixthman is promising plenty of onboard games and activities, including casino gambling, swimming, movie screenings, late-night dance parties and pretty much everything you would expect from four days at sea with 311.
You wanna go? Veterans of the first 311 Caribbean Cruise can join in the pre-sale going on now through Sept. 30 and book their accommodations beginning Oct. 10. First-timers can also get in on the pre-sale but must wait until Oct. 18 to begin booking the trip.
