Fast Times and DJ MissNinja Perform Saturday and Sunday; Free Entertainment Planned Throughout the Labor Day Weekend
All right Fleet Week! This year’s LA Fleet Week® celebration on the LA Waterfront will feature a line-up of great entertainment and signature bands, starting Friday night when world-famous Cheap Trick takes the event’s Main Stage. The Military Appreciation Concert, sponsored by the Annenberg Foundation, featuring Cheap Trick, is the first of three consecutive days of free live entertainment slated to rock LA Fleet Week over the Labor Day weekend.
Cheap Trick is world-renowned for its instantly identifiable, hugely influential brand of rock ‘n’ roll. Started in the 1970s, Cheap Trick continues to record music and sell out venues around the globe. The band features vocalist Robin Zander, lead guitarist Rick Nielsen and bassist Tom Petersson, with Daxx Nielsen on the drums. Cheap Trick was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2016.
“As founding members of the First Airborne Rock and Roll Division, it’s a privilege for Cheap Trick to be a part of LA Fleet Week in support of our service men and women and their families,” said Zander.
The Wingtips from San Pedro will warm up Friday night’s crowd with vintage hits from the 1950s and 60s hits before Cheap Trick takes that stage at 8:00 p.m.
LA Fleet Week 2019 also announced Fast Times and DJ MissNinja will round out the Saturday and Sunday evening concert lineup.

It is truly a privilege to share this special concert with you and everyone in the city of Los Angeles.”
