The famed Rainbow Bar & Grill on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a rock and roll parking lot party. The event is slated for Sunday, April 24th from 1-10 pm at 9015 W. Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood, CA.
Eddie Trunk is slated to host the nine hour event with outdoor performances by Steel Panther, RATT’s Stephen Pearcy, Orgy, Crazy Town, Pretty Boy Floyd, Kurt Deimer, Metal Knights and Whiskey Dogz.
Admission is free with a two drink minimum.
“Honored to be the host for the 50th celebration of this landmark and very much my second home in LA for many years. See you soon,” Trunk shares.
The restaurant and exclusive club opened in 1972 and has seen the likes of Slash, Elton John, Keith Moon, Alice Cooper, Mickey Dolenz, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Neil Diamond, Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley walk through their doors.
Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister loved the venue so much that he relocated to West Hollywood to be closer to it. During the last two decades of his life, he was a daily fixture at the legendary joint whenever he wasn’t on tour. A memorial statue was erected on the back patio in his honor in 2016. A mural of the late European rocker also graces the building.
Guns N Roses and Great White were among the rockers to have filmed videos at The Rainbow. The venue was also featured in Motley Crue’s Netflix biopic, The Dirt.
Sounds great!
