311 Celebrate Historic 30-Year Career on 3/11 DAY

This week, 311 celebrates 311 Day over a span of three nights—March 11th, March 12th, and March 13th—at the Park Theater at Park MGM in Las Vegas. Selling out all three shows, with over 17,000 capacity, the three-night affair was dubbed “the ultimate 311 concert experience” by fans seeing the group do 3 1/2 hour shows playing over 100 songs.

The kick-off event on March 11th was an immersive celebration, with fans from all 50 U.S. States and 12 countries gathering to commemorate 311’s historic career which encompasses over 2,000 live shows across 27 countries and 9 million records sold. 311 played a diverse collection of songs from their expansive 13 album discography.

Backed by state-of-the-art lights and special effects, the band encouraged the audience to further immerse themselves in the 311 Day experience by downloading Crowd Glow, an app that made concertgoers’ phones light up in sync with the music. During a cover of The Rolling Stones’ “Waiting On a Friend,” a video montage recounting the band’s iconic 30-year career played on-stage, an emotional homage to a band that’s become a family affair with their fans, after decades of delivering powerhouse, high-octane rock shows. During the three shows, the band will play a total of 100 songs to be streamed live via Live311.com/ Nugs.tv.

Nick’s 10-year-old daughter Echo Hexum joined her dad on the piano last night for a duet version of “Only Time Will Tell” making for an an incredible and memorable moment in the show. Check it out here: https://www.instagram.com/p/B9r8rlAH_CT/?igshid=uzw3ron51snb

The special tour kicked off on February 20th and 21st as 311 laissez le bon temps rouler at one of the world’s biggest parties: Mardis Gras. The  2020 day fête will continue throughout the year, including a run of summer dates alongside Incubus and Badflower.
