LOS ANGELES, CA. (Top40 Charts/ New Year's Nation) - New Year's Nation (NYN), a high-end events and promotions company that leverages technology to create simultaneous social experiences for young professionals in major markets around the country, today announced that Los Angeles has been selected as one of 10 host cities for NYN's simultaneous New Year's Eve celebration. The national New Year's Eve celebration, hosted locally at The Wiltern, will feature an onsite performance by
Travis Barker and DJ AM (TRVSDJAM). The night will be started off with entertainment by DJ Girl 6.
The concept of the nationwide, simultaneous party was born in 2006, when NYN CEO Jann Yogman hosted the first NYN New Year's Eve party in five U.S. cities. This year, Los Angeles will join NYN's New Year's Eve celebrations in Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, New York City, Philadelphia, Portland and Seattle for a simultaneous nationwide party across four time zones.
"I'm glad our first show back is here in LA on New Year's Eve. I've never been 10 places at once before," said DJ AM.
"I'm ready to get back on stage with AM and continue to rock the house. I'm very excited to bring in the New Year in my hometown of LA," said Travis Barker.
