LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts) The tenth annual Classic Rock Awards-the "Classic Rock Roll Of Honour"-is coming to
America for the first time. Traditionally held in London, the prestigiousrock'n'roll awards ceremony will take place Tuesday, November 4 in Los Angeles at the Avalon, Hollywood's historic night club and music venue.
With awards voted for by Classic Rock readers and a special awards section honoring the giants of rock, the centerpiece of the night is the Classic Rock Living Legend Award - a testimonial for a genuine rock icon. Reflecting the explosive growth the magazine and brand have experienced in recent years, the event has grown from humble beginnings to becoming one of the rare 'must dos' on the rock calendar, consistently attracting top A-List names in rock'n'roll. Indeed so much so that past hosts of the show have included the likes of Alice Cooper,
Gene Simmons and Duff McKagan. This year will be no different.
Keeping in line with the size and stature of the Classic Rock brand, exclusive performances add to the "wow factor," recently including:
Alter Bridge featuring Slash, Cheap Trick,
Lynyrd Skynyrd and
Jeff Beck with Chrissie Hynde and Joss Stone. This event really is the ultimate in rock'n'roll award ceremonies and is broadcast on Sky Arts in the UK.
Chris Ingham, Managing
Director says, "Classic Rock is thrilled to bring its annual awards show to LA for its tenth show. We have a special show planned for November 4th and it's high time that the rock'n'roll folks of the City of Angels are able to experience what has now become one of the most celebrated music award shows in Europe. L.A. and Classic Rock magazine share an enormous spiritual connection and if we were going to move this show out of its London home for a year, then there was only ever going to be one city to host it. Roll on November 4th."

The Classic Rock Roll Of Honour is one of the most highly respected ceremonies of the music year and always attracts the biggest names in the world of rock. The Awards were conceived to celebrate artists who had enjoyed often lifetime careers with little or no acclaim from mainstream media and yet they had imprinted themselves on generations of rock fans. Recognition at this must-attend event is the pinnacle of every musician's career as they join the list of past winners. This year's awards will be held in the U.S. for the first time and will be hosted by the Avalon in Hollywood, CA on Tuesday, November 4.
