About The Sunset Strip:
The Sunset Strip is a 1.6-mile stretch along Sunset Boulevard that runs through the heart of West Hollywood. From its beginning as an unregulated “strip” of land along Sunset Boulevard outside Los Angeles’ city limits, The Sunset Strip has served as a notorious entertainment destination for celebrities, tourists and California residents. It is an iconic locale where fashion, music, architecture and a unique history combine. The Sunset Strip has birthed countless music and entertainment careers, and it continues to blaze its own path as a leading destination with a vibrant and entertaining landscape made up of more than 150 restaurants, shops, nightclubs and hotels. The Sunset Strip became part of the City of West Hollywood when it was incorporated in 1984. In 2008, Sunset Strip venues and businesses partnered for the first Sunset Strip Music Festival (SSMF). Now in its fifth year, the three-day festival features performances in The Roxy Theatre, Viper Room, Whisky A Go-Go, House of Blues and Key Club and concludes with an all-day street fest on The Sunset Strip. The festival has featured performances by Ozzy Osbourne, Mötley Crüe, The Smashing Pumpkins, Slash featuring Fergie, Public Enemy, Matt & Kim, Common, Neon Trees, LMFAO, She Wants Revenge, The Donnas and more.
