Guitar Legend Jeff Beck To Perform At iHeartƹϴý Music Festival

Beck Will Join Steven Tyler to Kick Off Second Night of Historic Two-Day Festival in Las Vegas; Joins Unparalleled Lineup of the Biggest Names in Music

New York, NY – September 12, 2011 – Clear Channel ƹϴý today announced that guitar legend Jeff Beck will be a special guest at the iHeartƹϴý Music Festival, the two-day music event hosted by Ryan Seacrest that will mark the biggest live concert festival in radio history. Beck will join Steven Tyler in a special performance to kick off the second night of the Festival on Saturday, September 24th, in a unique collaboration that is another indicator of why the iHeartƹϴý Music Festival is truly a once-in-a-lifetime must-see event.
First known as a guitarist for The Yardbirds, a seminal English rock band of the mid-60s, and currently one of the UK’s leading artists and musical innovators, Beck was ranked No. 14 in Rolling Stone’s list of “Greatest Guitarists of All Time.” He joins an amazing lineup of music’s superstars including Lady Gaga, Jay-Z, Coldplay, Kenny Chesney, The Black Eyed Peas, Steven Tyler, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez, Carrie Underwood, Jane’s Addiction, Nicki Minaj, John Mayer, David Guetta, Rascal Flatts, Bruno Mars, Sublime with Rome, Kelly Clarkson and special performances from Usher and Sting.

Participating artists will appear on one stage at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on two consecutive nights, September 23rd and 24th, to celebrate the official launch of the New iHeartƹϴý, Clear Channel’s free, industry-leading digital radio product that will combine its more than 750 broadcast radio and digital-only stations from 150 cities with the ability to create custom stations, delivering listeners everything they want all in one fully integrated service.

“Our goal with the iHeartƹϴý Music Festival was to bring together incredible artists from every music genre, along with some amazing once-in-a-lifetime onstage collaborations to create a lineup reflective of the New iHeartƹϴý. It will be a special moment in rock history when Jeff and Steven perform together,” said Tom Poleman, President of Clear Channel National Programming Platforms. “Jeff’s participation in the show is one more reason why the iHeartƹϴý Music Festival will be an event that people will never forget.”

In addition, the show will be streamed across all of Clear Channel’s radio station websites, at iheartradio.com/vegas and at facebook.com/iheartradio.
