Dirty Heads and 311

Dirty Heads are playing the Germania Insurance Amphitheater on Saturday, August 22, and they aren't coming alone. They're sharing the bill with 311, so you'll get two full sets in one night instead of just one. It's a double bill that puts two bands from the same general orbit on the same stage, and since they're playing together, you'll see both of them without having to pick between them.

Dirty Heads bring their blend of reggae and rock, and 311 add their own mix of alternative rock and rap into the equation. Both bands have a long history of playing live, and they're touring together on this run, so the two acts will follow one another on the same bill. If you've seen either one before, you know the kind of set they put together; if you've only ever listened to the records, this is a chance to hear them back-to-back.

The show is at the Germania Insurance Amphitheater, which is the outdoor venue at the Circuit of The Americas in Austin. Doors open at 4:30 PM, and the music starts at 5:30 PM. Since it's an outdoor show in late August, that early start means you'll be getting settled in while there's still plenty of daylight left, and the music will carry you through the evening. With two bands on the program, the night stretches out across the two sets, so you'll be there for a while.

So, the details: Dirty Heads and 311 at the Germania Insurance Amphitheater on Saturday, August 22. Doors open at 4:30 PM, and the show starts at 5:30 PM.
