MTV IGGY’S BEST NEW BAND CONCERT: FEATURING 2NE1, LA VIDA BOHEME, GYPTIAN, YUNA

[es2pido.livejournal.com]

Mark your calendars and cancel all appointments – MTV Iggy’s throwing a unique and exciting global pop music event and making history on 12.12.11. It’s the culmination of a year-long program to find best new bands in the world, a reward for faithful and fanatical fans who voted ceaselessly for six weeks, and a dazzling display of the rich musical creativity that exists across nationalities…and everyone’s invited to the celebration!

The multi-location, multi-platform event will feature four acts representing the vast breadth and depth of  music talent, four symbols of a growing global music movement.

Headliners 2NE1, the four fiercest ladies of K-pop, ride atop a Hallyu wave that’s growing into a pop culture tsunami. Venezuelan dance punkers La Vida Boheme twist the tropes of Western rock music, reawakening an anarchic joy long since lost. Jamaican sensation Gyptian’s devastatingly seductive croon carries the torch for reggae into the new century. And Malaysia’s folk pop darling Yuna combines an unforgettable voice and retro-glamorous looks into an iconic emblem of  modern Muslim sensibilities.

Hosted by MTV VJs Suchin Pak and Sway, MTV Iggy’s Best New Band concert will be simulcast on the MTV’s giant HD  screen in Times Square and feature live backstage MTV Studio interviews, highlight reels, roving reporters, and interactions with fans in Times Square and online.

The event is free to ticket holders. Enter by December 6^th for a chance to witness it all in person. But we invite music lovers the world over to watch and participate! Details below:

When: December 12^th, 2011, from 4pm to 6pm US Eastern Standard Time

Where on land: The Best Buy Theater in Times Square,  MTV Studios, and MTV’s giant HD screen (which will also display fan tweets)

Where online: Live streaming on MTVIggy.com (and the chance to chat and comment in the language of your choice via Ortsbo translation)

[nortonamo.livejournal.com]

I heard about that 42 year old that can't go cuz he's too old or whatever. That sucks.

[kayleen-san.livejournal.com]

What?

[nortonamo.livejournal.com]

There's this 42 year old from Maine who won a ticket only to find out he's too old. I don't have the link to the post, but backtrack rapperchoomtop.tumblr.com and you'll see it.

42 yr old

Never would have expected Gyptian and 2ne1 in the same concert one day.

[kanae-mizuhito.livejournal.com]

Holy shit can't believe La Vida Boheme and a Kpop group will share the stage.

[revenantsoulx3.livejournal.com]

Wahh I'm so excited I get to go. Best holiday gift EVER.

[prdarkstar.livejournal.com]

At what time were you thinking of lining up? I'm conflicted

[revenantsoulx3.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure myself. :T I'm sure there will be people there at some ridiculous hour. But I'm not sure how it's going to work. We check in at 1:30... then what? Do we sit around until 4? @_@ And i wonder just how many people there will be...

[prdarkstar.livejournal.com]

I guess so? My friend wants to be there by 10am but I wasn't sure if that was way too early. I do want a good spot but...damn to wait that long.

The venue sits over 2 thousand people so I would think that's how many will show up.

[revenantsoulx3.livejournal.com]

Ugh 10am. I probably won't be there early and will end up being way in the back. Monday mornings aren't my thing. :p

I'm just happy I get to go... and its free. XD

[orangelauren.livejournal.com]

[dapo322.livejournal.com]

[gabucha26.livejournal.com]

Just got my confirmation e-mail! I can't believe I'm going to see 2NE1!! =)

and kinda off topic but I'm looking forward to seeing La vida boheme. I didn't know who they were until this event, but since they are representing my birth country (Venezuela) I had to go check them out. They are pretty good so I'm looking forward to their performance as well.

[itskimbitches.livejournal.com]

I have a final that day, but I plan on finishing it in 20 minutes in order to try and make it before 1:30pm..wahhh.
