The Man, Cannons, Lovejoy, Bakar, and The Beaches for KROQ’s annual holiday tradition. The show raises funds for two Los Angeles-based youth-oriented organizations: Para Los Niños and the Al Wooten Jr. Heritage Center.

311 was formed in 1990 in Omaha, Nebraska, featuring Nick Hexum (vocals/guitar), Chad Sexton (drums), Tim Mahoney (guitar), SA Martinez (vocals/dj), and P-Nut (bass). The band mixes rock, rap, reggae & funk into their own unique, hybrid sound – and 33 years later, the band is still regarded as one of the most entertaining & dynamic live bands in the U.S.  

311 frontman Nick Hexum shares, “When we heard KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas had an opening, we were stoked to be able to jump in. We’ve always loved KROQ and are excited to be part of such a great lineup of bands.”

As veterans of over 2,000 shows across 27 countries, 311 is one of the longest running original lineups in rock, alongside iconic acts like U2 and Radiohead. 311’s celebrated live shows and touring schedule have earned them a vast and dedicated following nationwide. Their annual, headlining, amphitheater show is a staple of the U.S. Summer touring season. Past support acts include: The Offspring, Snoop Dogg, Sublime with Rome, Cypress Hill, Slightly Stoopid, Dirty Heads, The Roots, Matisyahu, and Ziggy Marley. 

Looking ahead at 2024, 311 will return to Las Vegas at the Dolby Live at Park MGM for their biannual event on Saturday, March 9 and Sunday, March 10 to celebrate 311 Day.

311 have released thirteen studio albums, two greatest hits albums, two live albums, three DVD's and a boxed-set, and have sold over 9 million records in the U.S.
