The Backyard at Bee Cave is set to host Unity Tour 2011 on August 14 featuring ska-punk bands 311 and Sublime with Rome—a collaboration between former Sublime members and singer and guitarist Rome Ramirez.
The bands promise the nationwide tour to be the ultimate summer party show with popular hits and new songs from each band's latest releases.
"311 and Sublime with Rome seems like the perfect outdoor summer party," 311 vocalist Nick Hexum said.
311, which is lauded for energetic live shows and hit songs such as "All Mixed Up," "Amber," "Come Original," "Beautiful Disaster," and "Love Song", will promote their upcoming, yet-to-be-named album, due out this summer. Sublime reached commercial success with the songs "Wrong Way," "What I Got" and "Santeria" from their self-titled album in 1996, which left a lasting impact on alternative rock.
"We'll have our album out and will be playing new original songs alongside the fan favorites," said Ramirez, who joined the band in 2009 to fill the shoes of Sublime founder and frontman Bradley Nowell, who died of a drug overdose in 1996 at the peak of the band's popularity. "This will be an epic tour that will forever be remembered."
A presale will last from 10 a.m.–10 p.m. April 14. Regular ticket sales begin April 15 at 10 a.m. and cost $45 in advance or $49.50 on the day of the concert. Tickets can be purchased at livenation.com, thebackyard.net or by calling 1-888-695-0888.
