Dubuque’s Back Waters Stage Brings the Rock with Latest Show Announcement

Can I just say I am super pumped about the latest show announcement from Q Casino for this year's Back Waters Stage summer concert series? Not only do we get a killer night of classic rock tunes, but we now have one of the premier rock bands of the 90s coming! By the way, they're still going strong today, with their latest album, Full Bloom, released in 2024.

Yes, if you’re looking for an unforgettable night of live music this summer, mark your calendar for Saturday, July 5th, 2025! Iconic rock band 311 is bringing their Unity Tour 2025 to Dubuque’s Back Waters Stage, and they’re bringing some exciting friends along for the ride.

Joining 311 on stage are the alt-rock sensation Badflower and the rising stars of Sitting on Saturn. With such a diverse lineup, this show promises to deliver everything from heavy-hitting rock anthems to emotional, introspective tunes.

311 from Omaha, Nebraska, has been rocking crowds for over three decades. With 13 albums, over 10 million records sold, and hits like "Down", "Amber", and "All Mixed Up", they’ve earned their spot as one of modern rock’s most enduring bands and a favorite of mine to see live. One of their latest tracks, "You’re Gonna Get It," is making waves, proving they’re still pushing boundaries today.
