Attention music lovers. The brain child of Karen Thompson, New Rock 90’s

music director , has been born. She landed a major promotion of the Fourth

Annual Lollapalooza show in Charlotte, N.C. The winner of tickets will

receive two gold seats for the show, and hotel accommodations for August

11.

“Blockbuster Pavilion called up the station to negotiate a promotion. Since

New Rock 90 reports to Gavin, a national radio publication, we were

considered to be candidates for a potential offer. WUTK is the only station

in town with tickets,” Thompson said.

“New Rock 90 is a four-star station. There are only two six-star stations,

and a small handful of five-star stations, four stars is a top priority

station. And this promotion shines as an example of how important New Rock

90 really is,” she said.

The festival will feature bands that tested the boundaries between popular

and alternative music. Featured on the main stage will be Smashing

Pumpkins, Beastie Boys, George Clinton, The Breeders, A Tribe Called Quest,

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, L7, and Green Day. The second stage will

feature lesser-known upcoming bands like Luscious Jackson and Flaming

Lips.

Pushed into reality by Jane’s Addiction’s Perry Ferrell, Lollapalooza was

set up to promote alternative music. Also incorporated among the music

will be an element of awareness of the arts, the environment and social

causes with the MTV generation slated to be so significant that it could

influence a Presidential election. Lollapalooza solidified the unity of

strong, robust talent that promoted awareness of current issues.

Listen to New Rock 90 for a definition of Lollapalooza. Be the fourth

caller and you automatically register to win tickets to the most complete

concert of the year. The winner’s name will be drawn August 6 at the

Mercury.
