Travis Barker and DJ AM are set to reunite this month to headline the New Year Nation (NYN) New Year’s Eve Party at The Lot (Los Angeles).
New Year Nation is a high-end promotions company that targets young professionals for technology-based social networking.
This year, their New Year’s Eve party is expected to simultaneously air in 10 major market cities and four time zones.
The show will mark the first extended, high-profile appearances of Barker and AM since surviving a deadly September plane crash that killed four people.
Barker suffered second and third degree burns covering 1/3 of his body, while DJ AM underwent skin grafts to repair extensive burn damage.
After surviving such a traumatic experience, AM is pleased that their first show is back in Los Angeles, a city that’s always supported him.
“I’m glad our first show is back here in LA on New Year’s Eve,” AM told AllHipHop.com. “I’ve never been 10 places at once before.”
Fans will be able to see Barker and AM via live HD stream on www.newyearsnation.com.
For Barker, celebrating in his hometown of LA gives him the first opportunity to get back to music and put the September tragedy behind him.
“I’m ready to get back on stage with AM and continue to rock the house,” Barker explained . “I’m very excited to bring in the New Year in my hometown of LA.”
Barker’s latest drum work was featured on The Game’s track “Dope Boys,” on the rapper’s gold-certified album L.A.X.
In addition to the web broadcast, Live footage from NYN parties across the country will be shown on ESPN’s “Red Bull” New Year, No Limits,” beginning at 11PM on December 31.
