Dirty Heads w/ The Unlikely Candidates & Tyrone’s Jacket

After two decades spent chiseling their unique, multi-genre infused sound, Dirty Heads have finally come into their own. Following in the footsteps of their California brothers Sublime, Huntington Beach’s Dirty Heads mix hip-hop, reggae, and rock along with that laid-back South Cali attitude. Since the release of their 2008 debut Any Port in a Storm, the five-piece band—Jared Watson (vocals), Dustin “Duddy B” Bushnell (vocals/guitar), Jon Olazabal (percussion), Matt Ochoa (drums) and David Foral (bass)—has consistently experimented with their sunny style, leaning heavily on reggae fused with hip-hop cornerstones and scaling back for more acoustic fare, darting between extremes.

Post Malone w/ Smokepurpp – Stoney Tour – SOLD OUT

SOLD OUT

Dropping basketball references like the old school but wrapping them in thoroughly modern beats, Post
Malone hit in 2015 with his single "White Iverson." He loved music from a young age, and planned on
joining a band thanks to the video game Guitar Hero, but when his dad gave him a copy of Terror
Squad's hit "Lean Back," Post decided to become an MC. A move to the West Coast dropped him in Los
Angeles. After putting some braids in his hair, he coined the term "White Iverson," and when he posted
the track in 2015, he hit a million views within the month. Malone then signed with the Republic label. It
was a huge opportunity for him and he fully exploited it. He worked with consecrated rappers like 50
Cent, Young Thug, and Kanye West. Additionally, he developed a friendship with Justin Bieber and
later joined Bieber on his Purpose World Tour. In 2016 he released “Go Flex,” which reached numerous
charts and marked his national television debut – Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Furthermore, “Déjà vu”, a
collaboration with Bieber, expanded his fanbase. The young artist released a “HIP HOP mixtape”
promoting his debut studio album. The mixtape, titled August 26th, was meant to indicate the release date
of the album. However, the album Stoney came out at the end of 2016. It was a massive success and sold
over 60K copies, more than any other fairly new artist in 2016. From this album, the promotional and
fifth single, “Congratulations,” featuring Quavo, is the most relevant. It accumulated over 25 million
Spotify streams. Post Malone’s next project is titled Beerbongs and Bentleys.

with Delain & Battle Beast

Doors: 7:30PM

Kamelot’s release of their debut Eternity was praised by the music media as one of most promising debuts of all time. They went on to create many other albums all with striking results. Kamelot’s video “The Haunting” and “March of Mephisto” became huge hits on YouTube and prompted the band to launch their own YouTube channel, aptly titled KamTV.

Subsequently, Kamelot presented themselves more sinister and soulful on Ghost Opera and Poetry For The Poisoned, but have now returned to the melodic aspects of their multi-layered sound with the album, Silverthorn. The album, went directly to the top, debuting at the #1 position on Amazon’s Heavy Metal Chart! Along with this amazing accomplishment, Kamelot also impacted major charts in other categories including the #9 position on Billboard’s Hard Rock Chart, #24 on the Rock Charts, #79 on Billboard’s Top 200 Chart, as well as appearing on multiple international charts.

Jake Miller – Back to the Start Tour

Ever since Jake Miller began posting his original songs on YouTube a few years ago, the Miami-born

pop artist has been building a virtual army of fans. His millions of followers on social media call

themselves the Millertary and come to his concerts wearing camouflage and greasepaint under their eyes.

They are devoted to Miller’s irresistible musical blend of pop and hip-hop, combined with the positive

messages in his songs. Miller began rapping when he was 17, but began to take it more seriously a year

later when his YouTube videos caught the attention of local news and radio stations. This led to his first-

ever live performance — a plum slot opening for Snoop Dogg. One of MTV’s 2014 “Ones to Watch”

artists, Miller has shared stages with Mac Miller, Flo Rida, Sean Kingston, Asher Roth, Jason Derulo,

Cody Simpson and Austin Mahone, at various radio festivals, including Y-100’s Jingle Ball and the

Calle Ocho Festival in Miami, where he performed for a crowd of more than 200,000 screaming fans.

Tory Lanez – Proceeds go to Team of Life (Big Mama Helps)

100% of proceeds go to the Team of Life (Big Mama Helps)

Tory Lanez was one of the more versatile commercial artists to surface during the early 2010s. A songwriter and producer who flits between and fuses R&B and rap — his vocals alternate between swift and rugged boasts and smooth and sensitive come-ons — he made steady strides toward the mainstream with numerous mixtapes, guest appearances, and self-directed videos. Although he was known underground well before his 20th birthday, and was supported early on by Sean Kingston, he made some of his biggest moves in 2014. During that year, he was featured on “Me & My Bitch” — a track off YG’s Top Five album My Krazy Life — and among his own tracks that circulated in 2014 was “The Mission,” his first cut to hit Billboard’s Twitter Emerging Artists chart. In July 2015, after he had signed an Interscope-affiliated deal with Benny Blanco’s Mad Love label, he released “Say It,” an R&B slow jam that sampled Brownstone’s mid-’90s hit “If You Love Me” and peaked the following February at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100. A handful of additional tracks, including the dancehall-flavored “Luv” — his second Hot 100 placement — led to his debut album I Told You.

Team Of Life helps others in need with a selfless passion for excellence in education, social advancement, and community involvement through values based encouragement and programs. They instill in young people lifetime values to develop them emotionally, spiritually, and socially as expressed in the life long achievements of its founder Essie Reed, Big Mama. The fundamental challenge facing our community is to create harmony, unity and educational advancement for our youth and parents. Team of Life, Inc. believes that the best way to meet this challenge is to educate and encourage the youth, our future, were the problems can be prevented; and to ensure participation by the parents, men and women, from diverse backgrounds and at all levels of society.
