| About The Sunset Strip Music Festival |
The Sunset Strip Music Festival 2009 is set for Sept. 10-12! Ozzy Osbourne to be honored!
Ticket information and artist lineup to be announced.
**********
The second annual Sunset Strip Music Festival (SSMF) is confirmed for Sept. 10-12, 2009. In addition to The Strip’s six signature music venues hosting diverse music lineups, SSMF 2009 will also include an outdoor street festival component with the closure of Sunset Boulevard between Doheny Drive to San Vicente Boulevard on Saturday, Sept. 12, from 2 – 9 p.m. This is the first time a significant portion of The Sunset Strip has been shut down for a music event, and it will allow for outdoor stages and increased attendance.
Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne will be honored at a tribute event Thursday, September 10 that kicks off the three-day festival. The tribute event honors icons who have made an impact on the legacy of The Sunset Strip. On Ozzy’s first U.S. tour with Black Sabbath in 1970, the band performed a five-night stand (November 11-15) at the legendary Whisky A Go-Go. Ozzy Osbourne’s career has spanned four decades and his music is as relevant today as ever. The multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has sold over 100 millions album worldwide—50 with Black Sabbath and as many as a solo artist—and in 2003 was honored with a star on Hollywood Boulevard’s “Walk of Fame.”
Friday and Saturday nights of SSMF will feature live music performances from a mix of established and up-and-coming artists at all six venues (Cat Club, House of Blues, Key Club, The Roxy Theatre, Viper Room and Whisky A Go-Go). Saturday will feature a daytime street fest with multiple outdoor stage performances before the clubs open their doors for night performances, and the Mondrian hotel is also onboard for SSMF 2009 and will host a VIP cocktail event.
The first Sunset Strip Music Festival was held June 26-28, 2008, to commemorate the music history of the Sunset Strip. Performers included B Real of Cypress Hill with Slash, Dilated Peoples, Godhead, Hellogoodbye, Hot Hot Heat, Juliette & The Licks, Louis XIV, Mickey Avalon, Starf***ers, The 88, Camp Freddy and Pop Noir among others. Cheech & Chong, Larry King, Mark McGrath and Michelle Philips also participated in the festivities. Sunset Strip icons Lou Adler, Mario Maglieri and Elmer Valentine were honored at the event.
