311 Ignites Raleigh with a Sizzling Summer Show

311 returned to the Red Hat Amphitheater in Raleigh and delivered yet another unforgettable performance. Having played this venue several years ago, the band has built a strong connection with the city—and once again, they left their mark.

Despite the sweltering heat, fans showed up in droves to support the group, proving that a little summer sweat is no match for 311’s dedicated following. From the moment they hit the stage, the energy never let up. Each band member brought high-octane intensity, feeding off the crowd’s enthusiasm and pushing the performance into overdrive.

The stage setup was visually dynamic, featuring color-shifting light poles that pulsed and flared in sync with each song. The band treated fans to a setlist filled with fan favorites, including “Beautiful Disaster,” “Come Original,” “All Mixed Up,” and “Amber” (a personal favorite). They wrapped up the night with a powerful performance of one of their biggest hits, “Down,” sending the crowd home on a high note.

After more than 30 years in the game, 311 continues to masterfully blend rock, rap, and reggae with a style all their own. Their sound is as sharp as ever, and every time they hit the stage, they remind you exactly why they've stood the test of time. If they’re coming to your city—don’t miss them.
