Then seven bands will continue the four-day party on Jan. 1-2. The concerts will begin at 5:30 p.m. on New Year’s Eve and at 5 p.m. on the other nights.
“This is definitely the place to ring in the New Year,” says Fremont Street Experience Director of Marketing Tom Bruny. “With the four blocks of Fremont Street Experience jam-packed with 13 tribute bands on three stages and crowds expected to reach up to 30,000 people, this has become the ultimate street party. We will also be starting with free concerts at our pre-party on Wednesday and our after-party on Friday and Saturday will continue the four-day celebration.”
