311 Maps Fall Headlining Tour (Ultimate-Guitar)
Alt-rockers 311 will head out on the road late this year for a run of headlining dates in support of the band's most recent album, "Uplifter."
The group kicks off the outing Nov. 11 in Temecula, CA, east of Los Angeles, and will hit 19 cities on the trek, which concludes Dec. 8 in Austin, TX.
Opening acts will include State Radio and Kottonmouth Kings, along with one show (11/21 in Atlantic City, NJ) with Slightly Stoopid. Full details on opening acts and additional ticketing information can be found at the band's website.
"Uplifter," the 311's ninth album, surfaced in June. The set was produced by hard-rock veteran Bob Rock (Metallica, Motley Crue), which resulted in a louder direction for the band's latest effort, according to guitarist/vocalist Nick Hexum.
"It evolved that way [toward a more aggressive sound], but it wasn't pushed," Hexum told LiveDaily earlier this year. "Early on, there was a batch of songs where we thought, 'This is going to be our most heavy album to date.' He loved our reggae stuff, but we found a way to merge the heavy side with the funky reggae side, which I think 'Hey You' does pretty well.
"I realized after we were done that not a lot of bands can get away with putting this many styles on an album."
