UNITY TOUR 2008
DODGE THEATRE
JUNE 24, 2008

Phoenix, AZ (April 14, 2008) – 311 and Snoop Dogg are hitting the road together for Unity Tour 2008. The tour will begin Tuesday, June 24 in Phoenix at Dodge Theatre. Special guests Fiction Plane will open the 7:00pm show.

311’s Summer Unity Tour has become an annual event for music fans across the country. Past tours have included bands such as The Roots, The Wailers, O.A.R and Matisyahu. This year’s tour proves to be bigger and better than ever as superstar co-headliner Snoop Dogg joins 311 for 28 shows coast to coast.

With their dynamic and celebratory live shows, 311 have cultivated a grassroots touring fan base that is thriving now more than ever. Blending rock, reggae, hip-hop and funk, 311 have released eight studio albums, a live album and three DVD’s – selling over 8 million units in the U.S. and establishing themselves as a core modern rock artist.

Snoop Dogg is fresh off the release of his new album, Ego Trippin’. With his legendary rap flow and diverse appeal, Snoop has released nine solo studio albums and has sold 30 million records worldwide. Snoop will undoubtedly add a party vibe to the shows – from DoggyStyle to Ego Trippin’ – the big boss will be bringing all his hits and classic cuts. Whether starring in his hit E! show, “Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood,” or rocking a live show, Snoop is always able to light up a crowd.

Special guest Fiction Plane joined The Police last year for their North American portion of the tour which included a stop in Phoenix. Known for their high-energy live shows, this dynamic rock trio released their 2nd full length album in last May. Fiction Plane are: Joe Sumner (Bass); Seton Daunt (Guitar); Pete Wilhoit (Drums).
