Avicii to Headline Rolling Stone’s Big Game Bash
Superstar DJ/producer Avicii will serve as the headliner at this year’s Rolling Stone Live Big Game Bash, which takes over San Francisco’s the Galleria on February 6th. Grammy-nominated “Ex’s and Oh’s” singer Elle King and GOOD Music / Grand Hustle rapper Travis Scott will also deliver special performances at the bash, which takes place the night before Super Bowl 50 kicks off at Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium on February 7th.
Rolling Stone Live: San Francisco, a partnership between Rolling Stone and Talent Resources Sports, promises to be a go-to destination for celebrities, athletes and musicians during Super Bowl weekend. “We are excited to bring Rolling Stone Live to San Francisco this year during the big game weekend and showcase incredible musical talent for our guests,” Rolling Stone publisher Michael Provus says. “We look forward to once again partnering with TOAST, Bookemdanno and Talent Resources Sports.”
All three Rolling Stone Live performers enjoyed a banner year in 2015: Avicii released his latest LP Stories in October, while King was nominated for a pair of Grammys – Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song – for her breakout single “Ex’s and Oh’s,” from her debut LP, Love Stuff. Scott dropped his own Rodeo and also appeared on standout cuts featuring Kanye West as well as Wiz Khalifa’s new single “Bake Sale.” The rapper will also serve as the opening act on Rihanna’s upcoming Anti Tour.
