311’s annual Unity Tour will feature opening sets from Cypress Hill and G Love & Special Sauce

311’s breezy, reggae-influence alternative jams are perfect for a warm summer night, and per usual, the guys are planning to embark on their annual Unity Tour this summer. This year, they’re adding some new faces to the roster.

311’s upcoming tour will boast a lineup including rap act Cypress Hill and indie rock band G Love & Special Sauce. The tour is set to start on July 2 at the Starlight Theatre in Kansas City, Mo., and wrap up Aug. 4 in Las Vegas, Nev. Tickets for most of the newly-announced dates will go on sale starting Friday (April 12). View the full tour roster below.

“We’re super excited for Unity Tour 2013,” frontman Nick Hexum said in an official statement. “We had a blast touring with Cypress Hill in ’96 and with G Love in ’03…and we’re really glad we can all hit the road together this summer. Will make for a killer show. Lots of sick hip-hop beats and summertime grooves. Gonna be fun!”
