Their summer tour is very popular with their original fans, and the many few fans from the most recent albums. Steven Schenk, fan from Philadelphia, was at last year’s Philadelphia show and believed that their song Beautiful Disaster was the best way they could have started the show. He went on to say, they pumped up the crowd so “everyone was on their feet and dancing in seconds.” Talk about a stage presence.
Come out to see them at Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia, PA on July 21st, 2017, or check out 311.com/shows to find a date near you!
