Raleigh’s Red Hat Amphitheater is about to get lit on June 25, 2025, with the arrival of the 311: Unity Tour 2025. Headlining the night is 311, the genre-bending veterans known for their explosive blend of alternative rock, reggae, hip-hop, and funk. With a cult-following built over three decades, 311’s sound still hits with the same urgency and inventiveness that put Omaha on the alt-rock map. Their live shows are a high-octane trip—deep grooves, rapid-fire rhymes, and a seamless genre melt that critics have called “fearless fusion.” Stay tapped in at 311.com.
Also on the bill is Badflower, the L.A. four-piece who’ve made a name torching the modern rock playbook with raw, visceral emotion and razor-sharp songwriting. Their music dives headfirst into the chaos of human fragility—mental illness, addiction, trauma—with a sound that flirts with hard rock, post-grunge, and alternative’s more volatile edges. Critics have hailed their debut and follow-ups as “unflinchingly personal” and “gut-punch rock.” They’re not here to play it safe—and that’s exactly why they’ve earned their space.

Kicking things off is Sitting on Saturn, a rising act catching fire with a sonic brew that defies clean labels. Think genre-fluid alt-pop with a punk undercurrent—upbeat, emotional, and infectiously modern. They’ve been turning heads for their high-energy sets and melodic hooks that hit harder than you’d expect. Critics have described them as “genre-agnostic with purpose,” and that edge is why they’re on this lineup. Keep your eye on them—this opener won’t be staying in the shadows for long.
