311 and Dirty Heads at Empower Federal Credit Union Amphitheater | July 19, 2026
The So Glad You Made It Tour arrives at Empower Federal Credit Union Amphitheater at Lakeview on Sunday, July 19, 2026, with a footnote that anyone who followed reggae-rock through the 2000s will appreciate: Dirty Heads, now sharing top billing, once toured these same kinds of rooms as a 311 opener. A co-headline run between the two bands amounts to a generational handoff inside a scene that has quietly outlasted most of its critics, and the Syracuse stop lands on a Sunday night with a 5:30 PM start — a four-act bill stacked deep enough to justify showing up on time.
About 311 and Dirty Heads
311 reach Lakeview fresh off one of the more elaborate weekends they have ever produced. The annual 311 Day celebration in Las Vegas this March stretched across two nights, more than 80 songs, a collaboration with Blue Man Group, and the unveiling of a first-ever 311 Museum dedicated to the band’s catalog. It is not the calendar of a band coasting, and amphitheater audiences this summer should expect setlists drawn from a deeper well than the radio singles.
Dirty Heads arrive in a different mode entirely — promotional. Their ninth studio album, 7 Seas, drops June 12 via Better Noise Music, roughly five weeks before the Syracuse date, which means the band will be road-testing brand-new material alongside catalog cuts. Lead single “One of Those Days,” which Dustin “Duddy B” Bushnell describes as being “about getting together with close friends and enjoying the moment,” signals the album’s temperature: relaxed, melodic, leaning into the band’s reggae and hip-hop core. Jon Olazabal called it “something you want to blast in your car and sing along with,” which reads less like a press quote than an honest mission statement.
Support comes from ROME, formerly of Sublime, on every stop of the run, plus Australian outfit Ocean Alley joining the bill for the Syracuse date specifically — a one-two opener that keeps the genre conversation honest from doors to encore.
The Venue
Empower Federal Credit Union Amphitheater at Lakeview has settled into its identity as Central New York’s primary outdoor concert destination, and a Sunday-evening reggae-rock bill is exactly the kind of programming the venue handles well. The 5:30 PM start time — early by amphitheater standards — suggests Live Nation expects all four acts to play substantive sets, not the rushed opener slots that plague some package tours.
