Both 311 and Sugar Ray have been spending a lot of time playing to sell-out crowds in the last few months, and now they are going to do it all a little more -- but this time they're doing it together.| Starting Oct. 28, 311 will launch their fall U.S. tour in Phoenix, and two days later, Sugar Ray joins the Omaha, Neb.-based pop band to open the rest of the tour, which goes through Dec. 7. From there, 311 will link up the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and head Down Under for the Vans Warped Tour as it makes its first trip to Australia. Although no dates have been confirmed for that tour, a spokeswoman for 311 says that it will take place some time in January.

In related news, yesterday JAMTV announced that 311 had canceled six dates of a small European tour because guitarist Tim Mahoney has to undergo a hernia operation this week. The band's publicist, Carol Burnham, said the band hopes to make up those dates in the future, "but due to their heavy touring schedule, it may not be for some time." (Ari Bendersky)
