ARTISTdirect Announces Seventh Annual SnoCore Festivals
``SnoCore Rock'' and ``SnoCore Icicle Ball'' Tours to Kick Off in
February
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 14, 2002--ARTISTdirect's SnoCore, the
winter/sport/lifestyle touring event, will kick off its seventh year
with two touring units on the road simultaneously -- the ``SnoCore
Rock'' tour and the ``SnoCore Icicle Ball.''
The ``SnoCore Rock'' line-up will headline the Grammy-nominated Alien
Ant Farm, who will be joined by the punk-rock band Fenix TX and
progressive hardcore GlassJaw, with an opening act to be announced. The
``SnoCore Rock'' tour kicks off on February 15 in Providence, Rhode
Island, and will play more than thirty-five shows in major cities
throughout the U.S.
The talent line-up for ``SnoCore Icicle Ball'' will headline Karl
Denson's Tiny Universe on most dates, and the rest of the bill will vary
from city to city (see below for specifics). In addition to Denson,
artists who will be on a selection of dates include Spearhead, Nikka
Costa, Blackalicious, the influential political poet Saul Williams,
Ozomatli, and Sector 9. The ``Icicle Ball'' unit will play some forty
dates between its February 1 kick-off in San Diego and its April 1 close
in Toronto, and will include stops at snow resorts such as Park City,
Vail, and Whistler.
``I am so proud to be able to offer fans an eclectic mix of artists as
we're doing with this year's two SnoCore tours,'' commented Marc Geiger,
Vice Chairman, ARTISTdirect. ``As happened with Lollapalooza a decade
ago, a number of bands have been broken on SnoCore, and we hope to do it
again this year. This is a great time of year to put a tour out,
especially in places that don't usually get regular concerts such as
Lake Tahoe, Park City, and Vail.''
The ARTISTdirect SnoCore festival is the original winter lifestyle tour
that features live music concert performances from some of the most
credible artists today. Past SnoCore lineups have included Gold and
Platinum artists such as Sublime, Primus, Blink-182, Fear Factory, The
Pharcyde, Everclear, System of a Down, Kittie, and Powerman 5000.
