Spend New Year's Eve with Velvet Revolver

VELVET REVOLVER--one of rock’s most electrifying bands--invite fans to celebrate New Year’s Eve with them at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom. The Grammy-winning band’s set will consist of material from their current and critically acclaimed LIBERTAD (a blast of “bruising hard-rock euphoria,” according to USA Today’s Edna Gundersen) and their three million-selling debut album Contraband, as well as songs from the members’ respective bodies of work.
Tickets are available now at the Irving Plaza Box Office, select Ticketmaster outlets and charge-by-phone lines (212-307-7171 or 866-448-7849) and online at www.ticketmaster.com and www.livenation.com.
The New Year’s Eve concert will follow VELVET REVOLVER’s Wednesday, December 12 headlining show at Los Angeles’ Gibson Amphitheatre. The Los Angeles performance--with Alice In Chains--was originally set for Friday, October 26 at the outdoor Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine, CA but was postponed due to the devastating Southern California wildfires. In an effort to help the victims of these fires, a limited edition VELVET REVOLVER t-shirt will be sold at the show, with part of the proceeds going to Southern California fire victims. In addition, the Red Cross will have an informational booth at the show with details about how people can help.
Meanwhile, the group’s recently postponed December Australian tour dates have been rescheduled for February. Please see the full VELVET REVOLVER--lead vocalist SCOTT WEILAND, guitarist SLASH, bassist DUFF McKAGAN, drummer MATT SORUM and guitarist DAVE KUSHNER--tour itinerary below and check out www.velvetrevolver.com.
