Coming Up! July 11 At Hard Rock Cafe On LV Strip The English Beat Concert Benefit!

On Friday, July 11, 2014, Hard Rock Cafe is set to celebrate one year of its renamed intimate music venue Hard Rock Live with a special benefit concert honoring the lives of the victims of the June 8 tragedy. All the money raised by the $10 ticket will go directly to help the families of officers Alyn Beck, Igor Soldo and Joseph Wilcox.

“Not only is music so ingrained into the heart of Hard Rock, it has an incredible power to bring a community together,” said Andrew Courtney, Talent Buyer and Special Events Manager for Hard Rock Live, “and once we heard the tragic news that has affected so many of us here in Las Vegas, we knew we wanted to find a way to honor these three great men and hopefully the proceeds from this anniversary show can be our way of doing a small part in helping their families during this difficult time.”

The English Beat will be joined by local talent Rusty Maples and Avalon Landing. Tickets can be purchased in advance at http://www.ticketweb.com/ or at the door.

After the iconic music venue’s official renaming last year, Hard Rock Live has booked some of the hottest names in music from rockers such as Mogwai, Umphrey’s McGee, and Sevendust to rappers such as Schoolboy Q, YG, and Tech N9ne along with EDM DJ’s 12th Planet, Crizzly, and Brillz.

Additional Artist Information

The English Beat is a 2 Tone ska revival band founded in Birmingham, England. Their sound uniquely fuses ska, pop, soul, reggae and punk rock.

Rusty Maples were grown from the dry desert landscape of Las Vegas. The band’s sound captures the spirit of the West with their well-crafted blend of tender lyrics, classic themes and energetic Americana-inspired pop songs.

Avalon Landing was the recent winners of the annual Hard Rock Rising battle of the bands and had advanced to the top 25 world competition. The band’s catchy sound and rave reviews have made the band a staple opening act for tours passing through and other budding Vegas acts, such as Imagine Dragons. The idea for Avalon Landing was sparked in a restaurant in Buffalo, New York and led to the band’s formation ten months later in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The crowd could not help but dance to the DJ’s eclectic set, which included popular tracks such as W&W’s “Bigfoot,” “Waiting for the Sun & Moon” and “Steal You Away,” Dash Berlin’s track with Alexander Popov featuring Jonathan Mendelsohn.

Legendary Rocker Gregg Allman Played At The Pearl

Saturday night, rock and blues performer Gregg Allman returned to The Pearl inside Palms Casino Resort for another amazing performance.  As he walked onstage, Allman first walked to the front of the stage to bow to the adoring audience before taking a seat behind his organ. Allman then ran through a string of hits with an eight-piece band, including a horn section, backing him for a great night of live music. From The Allman Brothers Band hits such as “Whipping Post,” “Don’t Keep Me Wonderin’” and Billboard toppers “Midnight Rider” and “Melissa,” to solo hits such as 1987’s No. 1 Billboard Mainstream Rock chart hit “I’m No Angel” and “Love Like Kerosene,” Allman proved that he still rocks with the best of them.

The second night of the Electric Daisy Carnival had come to a thundering close after welcoming a sold-out crowd to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The dusk-till-dawn festivities featured more than 65 musical acts, including up-and-coming artists from this year’s Discovery Project. This year, winners were expanded beyond aspiring DJ/producers to include winning selections from the art installation, stage, and costume design categories.

Adding to the completely immersive setting of the festival grounds, more than 30 carnival rides, five Ferris wheels, and 20 large-scale art installations—including the re-imagined Electric Daisy—encouraged fans to explore and engage with their surroundings. The 125-foot structure featured LED lights and white petals spanning 45 feet as fans danced beneath its warm glow. The bassCON stage unveiled a brand new design that engulfed the DJ booth at the mouth of a 65-foot-tall, apocalyptic Cyclops, surrounded by 26 large, graffiti-stained steel containers and crushed automobiles.
