VINCE NEIL: “I can’t wait to perform back in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, where it all started for me. This is a big kick-ass event and I’m gonna pull out all the stops on this one. What a great lineup, in a great venue … see you in SEPTEMBER. Be there!”
The event is being hosted by HAIR (TRUNK) NATION’s own EDDIE TRUNK.
EDDIE TRUNK: “I’m truly honored to host the first-ever HAIR NATION show. As a lifelong fan, friend and supporter of so many of these bands on radio and TV, it’s great to see them have their own event to celebrate their decades of great music.”
SIRIUSXM will broadcast performances, as well as backstage interviews with artists, on the HAIR NATION channel, via satellite on channel 39 and through the SIRIUSXM app on smartphones and other connected devices, as well as online at siriusxm.com.
