For All You Rockers Out There – The 2011 Sunset Strip Music Festival (SSMF) expected to be AMAZING!
That’s right…this annual event is sure to be the most epic ever. In fact, Motley Crue is going to be turning the Sunset Strip upside down with a 360 degree vertical drum roller coaster! They have officially confirmed that their headlining set at SSMF will feature the “360” vertical drum roller coaster. The “360” features Tommy Lee being launched into multiple vertical loops while continuing to perform. To add to the craziness, Lee will select an SSMF fan from the audience to join him for his insane ride.
SSMF 2011 is scheduled for Aug. 18-20 and includes a tribute event honoring Motley Crue, performances in the venues Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights as well as an all-day street festival on Saturday, Aug. 20, featuring Motley Crue, Bush, Public Enemy and more than 70 additional bands throughout the day. Tickets available: VIP 3 Day Pass $250.00 (see website for terms and conditions) or a GA Street Fest ticket for Aug. 20th at $55.00 or a VIP Street Fest ticket for Aug. 20th at $120.00 (see website for terms and conditions).
