TICKETS FOR FESTIVAL ON SALE NOW THROUGH TICKETMASTER
The second annual SUNSET STRIP MUSIC FESTIVAL (SSMF)--set for September
10-12, 2009--has announced the addition of KORN to the line-up for their
first Los Angeles performance in two years. Fresh off their sold out
European tour, the band will join CHRIS CORNELL as co-headliner for the
Saturday, September 12 street festival where for the first time The
Sunset Strip (between Doheny Drive and San Vicente Blvd.) will be closed
to host two concert stages and is expected to draw 10,000 people.
"Although we're all from Bakersfield, the Sunset Strip is really where
it all came together for Korn. It's where we had our first breakthrough
gigs," states KORN frontman Jonathan Davis. "We are really excited to be
the first to headline a Festival right on the Sunset Strip and we intend
on making it something fans remember for a long time!"
West Hollywood's Sunset Strip has birthed countless music and
entertainment careers, and it continues to blaze its own path as leading
destination with a vibrant and entertaining landscape. The Strip's six
signature music venues the Cat Club, House of Blues, Key Club, The Roxy
Theatre, Viper Room and Whisky A Go-Go will host dozens of various
musical acts (exact venue schedules to be announced soon) in addition to
the aforementioned Strip street closure on the closing day of the
festival. A wide variety of ticket options are on sale via Ticketmaster.
Meanwhile, the new Andaz West Hollywood has signed on to be the host
hotel for the SSMF. The state-of-the-art luxury hotel enjoys a rich
heritage as the legendary "Rock and Roll Hotel" on the Sunset Strip that
has hosted musical talent from around the world for over 50 years.
Michel Morauw, Andaz GM states, "At Andaz West Hollywood, we are
particularly proud to partner with the Sunset Strip Music Festival.
There is no better occasion to celebrate the music history of this hotel
and the Sunset Strip."
