THE SUNSET STRIP MUSIC FESTIVAL HONORS OZZY OSBOURNE, 12-STORY ART WALL TO HANG ABOVE THE WORLD FAMOUS SUNSET STRIP

HONORS OZZY OSBOURNE

12-STORY ART WALL TO HANG ABOVE

THE WORLD FAMOUS SUNSET STRIP

STARTING THURSDAY, AUGUST 20

Next, on Thursday, September 10, Osbourne will be honored at a tribute event to kick off the three-day music festival. The tribute event honors icons that have made an impact on the legacy of The Sunset Strip. On Osbourne’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.

 
“This expansive wall not only celebrates our honoree, Ozzy Osbourne, it also serves to welcome everyone to The Sunset Strip and is certain to be a very photographed component of this year’s music festival,” noted Todd Steadman, executive director of the Sunset Strip Music Festival.  
 

SSMF 2009 also includes the first-ever street closure of Sunset Blvd on Saturday, September 12.  There will be 40-plus music acts throughout the day performing on two stages set up on the street and on club stages within the street closure – Key Club, The Roxy Theatre, Cat Club and Whisky A Go-Go. Tickets are available now for a discounted price of $39.50.
