Joan Jett & The Blackhearts Set to Rock 2007 Los Angeles LGBT Pride Celebration

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Joan Jett & The Blackhearts are set to rock the Washington Mutual Main Stage of the 2007 Los Angeles Pride Celebration for a 75-minute full band concert on Saturday, June 9, 2007 in West Hollywood.

After headlining the Warped Tour, and releasing a brand new album SINNER with the smash hit song A.C.D.C., Los Angeles Pride welcomes the famed punk-rock-icon back to her Los Angeles music roots. This concert will mark her first appearance with the Christopher Street West Pride organization.

A genuine rock star, Jett has pushed the limits in her lyrics and sound, and smashed gender barriers in rock music. With no less than nine Top 40 hit singles and eight Platinum and Gold LP’s, few artists boast a wider appeal than Joan Jett whose trailblazing music extends beyond the diverse boarders of the LGBT community.

The 2007 LA Pride Parade and Celebration will be June 8-10 in West Hollywood. Please visit the LA Pride website (www.lapride.org) for more information. Our Agenda: Love. Equality. Pride.

A non-profit organization, Christopher Street West, is a leading partner in the advancement of rights and equality of the LGBT community. Led by professionally driven, volunteer based board members, Christopher Street West produces one of the largest Pride Celebrations in the United States with an expanding global presence reaching millions of people every year.
