GIANT PRESENTS GIANT VILLAGE 2005
AMERICA’S LARGEST 21+ NEW YEAR’S EVE EVENT
FEATURING PERFORMANCES BY THE KILLERS, JOHN DIGWEED,
PAUL OAKENFOLD, THE CRYSTAL METHOD AND MARK FARINA
Since 2000, GIANT has produced the largest 21+ New Year's Eve event in America. From Los Angeles’ Hollywood Boulevard to the LA Coliseum Gardens to downtown’s Flower Street, GIANT’s New Year’s Eve celebrations have set the pace for innovative productions and unique locations. For its fifth year, the tradition continues on Wilshire Boulevard in the heart of the “new” downtown Los Angeles with GIANT Village 2005 Friday, December 31 from 8:00 pm to 4:00 am.
Spread over four entertainment stages, a live performance from The Killers and top-tier DJ talents like John Digweed, Paul Oakenfold, The Crystal Method and Mark Farina will provide the perfect soundtrack to ring in the New Year. With a 12,000-person capacity (last year drew 10,000 attendees), GIANT Village will feature carnival rides, outdoor fireworks and various theme lounges. Its dramatic placement spans four blocks of prestigious Wilshire Boulevard among the soaring skyscapers, tree-lined streets and for out-of-town guests the three luxury hotels within one block of the event: the Westin Bonaventure, the Biltmore and The Standard.
A portion of the proceeds of this year’s event will benefit Chrysalis, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping economically disadvantaged and homeless individuals become self-sufficient through employment opportunities. To date, GIANT’s New Year’s Eve Celebrations have raised over $300,000 for Los Angeles based charities.
Tickets for GIANT Village 2005 are $75 in advance and available through Ticketmaster or through www.giantclub.com. Tickets may also be purchased at any of the five southland Virgin Megastores (Los Angeles – Sunset Strip, The Valley – Burbank, Orange County – The Block, Costa Mesa, Inland Empire – Ontario Mills) and receive a free CD from one of the participating DJs while supplies last.
