(8/14/01, 5 p.m. ET) -- Funk/punk/rap-rockers 311 will follow their summer on the Warped Tour with an extensive headlining tour across North America. The group will kick off a two-month swing in support of its latest album, From Chaos, at the Street Scene in San Diego on September 8 and play more than three dozen shows through the end of October.
The trek culminates in a Halloween performance at the Universal Amphitheater in the group's home base of Los Angeles. Shows in Texas and New Mexico from October 22-27 are also expected to be announced in the coming days.
Frontman Nick Hexum tells LAUNCH that he'll "never get tired of connecting with all those people. To look out and see thousands of people all bouncing in unison, it's like a tribal dance, it's like a spiritual connection [where] everyone is feeling this rhythm and it's like a non-verbal communication that is just a great reason to live your life," he says. "To go through, like, nurturing that and experiencing that, it's never gotten boring to me at all."
Tickets to most shows in September are currently on sale. Check local box offices for more information.
