SSMF: Street Fest Set Times Announced, Mötley Crüe To Feature Tommy Lee's '360' Vertical Drum Roller Coaster

Sunset Boulevard will be shut down to traffic on Saturday August 20 between Doheny Drive and San Vicente Boulevard to accomodate the immense rock of the Sunset Strip Music Festival.

Set times have been announced for the SSMF Street Fest with doors opening at 1:00 p.m. Check for lineup changes on Facebook and/or follow @SSMF on Twitter.

Mötley Crüe's headlining set will feature Tommy Lee's “360” vertical drum roller coaster. His wha? Watch the video. Tommy Lee (and a fan he'll pick from the audience) will be "launched into multiple vertical loops while continuing to perform," says SSMF.

Safety first, kids.
