Friday, Sept. 1: 311 brings its blend of rock, rap, funk and reggae to headline the first night. After touring 25 years, 311 has built a huge following who testify to the quality and excitement of their live performances. Last year, the band’s recorded catalogue was compiled into a four-CD archive of their most popular songs. Their 2015 “Stereolithic” debuted at No. 6 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart.
Opening band Big Something, a six-piece powerhouse with a sound both unique and timeless, Big Something fuses elements of rock, pop, funk, and improvisation. Their myriad of musical styles explains why this group has quickly become one of the most exciting bands to emerge from the Southeast.

Saturday, Sept. 2: Rebelution’s 2012 album debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Reggae and Independent charts, and at #13 on the Top 200 Albums chart. Formed in Santa Barbara, CA in 2004, Rebelution’s strong DIY mentality, relentless touring and deep connection to their fan base via social media, has led them to being one of the best-selling reggae artists on the planet. Since the 2007 release of Courage to Grow, the band’s first full-length album, Rebelution’s music has been praised for its crafty melodies, socially-conscious lyrics and savvy musicianship.
