311 coming back to Omaha is no big news. The rap-reggae outfit comes home or to Council Bluffs on each of its tours. But the 311 concert announcement delivered Monday is of particular note.
311 will be the first headliner at the first Red Sky Music Festival, a six-day affair at TD Ameritrade Park, the new downtown baseball stadium. Sublime and 311 have been announced as the headliners for July 19, so that appears to mean there will be 12 mainstage headliners for the week. The next mainstage announcements are slated for Monday.
More than 25 national acts who will perform on the "B and C stages" will be announced in the next couple of weeks. Twenty-four local and regional bands also will be on the two auxiliary stages.
My shaky math brings the total number of bands to at least 61 -- which is plenty.
More basic info: The festival grounds gates will open at 11 a.m. each day, with the music starting at noon. Festival grounds passes will be sold through Ticketmaster and at the Qwest Center Omaha box office. A 1-Day Pass is $15, a 3-Day Pass is $30, and a 6-Day Pass is $60. Re-entry wristbands will be available, and guests may leave and re-enter once before 6 p.m.
