RENO, Nev. – The national Unity Tour 2012 concert stops off at Lawlor Events Center on Sunday, Sept. 2. The concert was previously planned to be held on the University of Nevada, Reno John Sala Intramural Field, but was moved to accommodate a larger crowd.

This concert is one of the largest sponsored by ASUN. According to ASUN President Huili Weinstock, the student government plans to host several large events throughout the semester.
“Our programming focus is quality entertainment for students and community members,” Weinstock said. “We are excited to help sponsor such great artists.”
About 311, Slightly Stoopid and SOJA:
311 has developed a reputation as one of the most entertaining live bands in the United States. The celebratory live shows and dynamic recordings have earned the band a massive grassroots following and a catalog of modern rock hits, including “Down,” “All Mixed Up,” “Amber,” “Come Original,” “Beautiful Disaster,” “Love Song” and “Sunset in July.” Over the past several years, Unity Tour has included 311 with Snoop Dogg, The Offspring, Sublime with Rome, Matisyahu, The Wailers and The Roots.
