U2 Fan Celebration in Los Angeles
First ever Los Angeles U2 Fan Convention to be held at the Ontario Convention Center
ONTARIO, Calif. (Sept. 27, 2004) – Elevation USA, the band that seeks to “recreate the total U2 concert experience in both sight and sound” in their performances, will head to the Ontario Convention Center on Sunday, October 10th, to take part in the first ever Los Angeles U2 fan celebration.
The promoters are also pleased to announce that "Guru, Viber and DJ" BP Fallon has just been added as Special Guest for this Event. The man that wrote "U2 Faraway So Close", and used the very best of thousands of his photographs to take U2 Fans on the rollercoaster ride that was ZOO TV will be doing a Question & Answer session as well as an autograph session with fans.
“With the buzz from U2’s newest single, ‘Vertigo,’ released just this week, we’re expecting a great turnout,” said Greg Flamm, lead guitarist for U2 tribute band, Elevation USA. “As a U2 fan since 1984, I’ve seen how these celebrations are a great way to meet other U2 fans and bring them together.” U2 usually has a gap of four to five years between their tours.
The scheduled events for the U2 fan celebration at the Ontario Convention Center include the live Elevation USA performance, all-day video shows, door prizes (including autographed copies of Carter Alan's book), trivia contests, freebie tables by Bags Unlimited and Goldmine magazine and live unplugged band karaoke with the L.A. U2 tribute band Joshua Tree. There will also be an all-day display featuring rare collectibles from the Irish band.
Collectors and dealers from around the country will be present to trade, buy or sell collectibles. Otto Kitsinger, rock photographer, will display his amazing photos of U2.
Also present at the U2 fan celebration will be representatives from charity organizations Amnesty International, Greenpeace, African Well Fund, the Peace Museum of Chicago, and Debt, Aids, and Trade in Africa (DATA), an organization founded by Bono, lead singer of U2 and global human rights activist. Patrick Bremer from U2Mart and Joel Tanner from Interference will have tables as well.
The U2 fan celebration begins at 12 p.m. and culminates with the live performance later in the evening on October 10. Admission is $20 per person at the door. Special ticket packages are also available.
