Are you “Down”... with 311! “Know that we have always been down, down...” And we are very excited to announce that The Unity Tour with 311 and New Politics is coming to the Fillmore in Silver Spring, MD on Mon. July 24th and Tues. July 25.

    311 have crossed yet another milestone in their 27-year career. The group’s brand new album MOSAIC, released June 23rd via BMG and has debuted at #6 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart which marks the multi-platinum group’s 10th consecutive Top 10 Album on the chart. Of 311’s 10 charting albums, five have debuted at #6 or higher on the chart.

    In support of MOSAIC, 311--singer/guitarist Nick Hexum, singer/DJ S.A. Martinez, drummer Chad Sexton, bassist P-Nut and guitarist Tim Mahoney--are currently in the midst of their extensive headlining tour of North America for the 18th summer in a row. Their Unity Tour has become one of the most anticipated concerts of the summer and has included many different supporting acts over the years including Sublime with Rome, The Offspring, Snoop Dogg, Slightly Stoopid, Cypress Hill, The Roots, Matisyahu, Ziggy Marley, and many more.
    
    311 just returned from their 5th sold-out 311 Caribbean Cruise. The 311 Caribbean Cruise has sailed on 5 adventures to date on a four night adventure aboard a luxury Norwegian Cruise Lines ship and sees some 3,000 passionate 311 fans (from all 50 U.S. states & 15 countries), with 311 playing 3 shows along the way. In 2016, the group launched 311 Amber Ale in conjunction with Rock Brothers Brewing, Cigar City Brewing & Nebraska Brewing. 311 also launched their Grassroots Uplifter brand vape pen.

    This years 2017 Unity Tour features special guests New Politics, whom, as my readers should know by now, I absolutely adore. Can’t wait to see them again and getting to open for 311 is just amazing! I have been a 311 fan for a long time with songs like “Down”, “Amber” and “Beautiful Disaster” being a part of my high school playlist. It is going to be a true honor to see them perform all of their hits live!
    
    As for New Politics, they have had a few new things brewing since my last report. They released a new summer single, “One of Us,” along with a great video that pays homage to some of their all time favorite videos. And they say they are working on a new album, which will be their fourth, but no release date as of yet.

    Their biggest hit single to date, “Harlem”, appeared on their second studio album, A Bad Girl in Harlem, which released in 2013. We discovered them right here on the beach in Ocean City, MD when they played Dew Tour, 2013 and have been huge fans ever since. For more info please check them out @ newpolitics.dk
 
    Anyway, I cant wait for another great show and hope to come back with tons of great photos to share with you all! But for all of you more adventurous types, live music lovers and for all the Bad Girls who want to shake it with New Politics and 311, get your tickets now @ livenation.com. Are you "Down"? See you there!
