311 contributes its unique fusion of rock, reggae, funk, and hip-hop influences to the main stage. With 14 studio albums and over 10 million records sold in the United States, the band remains celebrated for fan favorites such as “Down,” “Amber,” and “All Mixed Up.”
The Alive completes the lineup with a fresh California rock sound rooted in surf, skate, and high-energy live performances. Citing influences like Black Sabbath, Nirvana, Rush, and Queens of the Stone Age, the band fits seamlessly into a roster defined by energy, edge, and attitude.
