SUNSET STRIP MUSIC FESTIVAL
REVEALS SET TIMES FOR AUGUST 28 STREET FEST;
SUNSET BLVD TO BE CLOSED TO TRAFFIC FOR SHOWS BY THE SMASHING PUMPKINS,
SLASH (FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY AND AN APPEARANCE BY FERGIE), COMMON, KID CUDI AND MORE
The street closure–only the second time The Strip has shut down for live music–culminates a three-day event which will also feature a tribute to Slash (Thursday, August 26 at House of Blues) and non-stop music at the multiple clubs on The Sunset Strip including performances by P.O.D., Kix, Unwritten Law, Nico Vega, Warner Drive and many more on Thursday, Friday and Saturday night.
Last year’s street fest drew 10,000 people to The Strip. The audience was treated to super-charged performances from Ozzy Osbourne, Korn and many more. But the music's not all SSMF has to offer either. The street scene is filled with two full-scale stages, fans, food trucks, beer gardens, merch vendors, VIP lounge and interactive experiences throughout the day. This year’s festival also includes large 10-foot art guitar sculptures as part of Gibson GuitarTown on The Sunset Strip. Following The Smashing Pumpkins’ performance, bands will continue to play into the night in venues within the street closure, all of which will be free of charge to SSMF ticket holders.
General admission, VIP and 3-Day VIP tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster. Street fest tickets are $49.50 in advance ($65 day of at box office) and VIP street fest tickets, which include access to a private tented rooftop lounge with full no-host bar and seating area as well as access to On The Rox at The Roxy Theatre and Plush Lounge at the Key Club, are available for $100 in advance. A limited number of three-day “VIP” passes (which include entrance to Slash’s tribute on August 26, the clubs all three nights and access to VIP tent at street fest) are $250. There will also be individual ticket sales for The Sunset Strip venues on Thursday and Friday nights. A portion of ticket sales will benefit the Los Angeles Youth Network (LAYN), a charity personally selected by honoree Slash. LAYN’s mission is to end homelessness, one kid at a time, by providing shelter, food and counseling for the abused, neglected and abandoned.
