New Year's Eve Rock 'N' Roll Ball (Event Over)

Be a part of the Windy City’s largest New Year’s bash at the New Year’s Eve Rock ‘N’ Roll Ball on Thursday, December 31st.   The 13th annual party has found a first-rate new home, landing at the stylish InterContinental Chicago O’Hare (5300 N. River Road, Rosemont), near the country’s busiest international airport.   Revelers will take flight into 2010, enjoying the best deal in town that includes live music by the world-renowned Gin Blossoms plus a four hour open bar package!

The high-energy celebration will feature entertainment on three stages headlined by alt-rock superstars, Gin Blossoms, on the main-stage following opening act, Nicholas Tremulis Orchestra.   Touting several Billboard crossover hits such as “Hey Jealousy,” “Found Out About You,” “Till I Hear It From You”, “Alison Road” and “Follow You Down,” the Gin Blossoms have been burning up the road lately with over 120 shows this year and are getting ready to mix their new record. The new CD, titled "No Chocolate Cake," is their follow up to 2007's Major Lodge Victory CD and is to be scheduled for release in 2010.  

Unlike other New Year’s Eve parties, the Rock ‘N’ Roll Ball gives people a variety of different environments to explore and connect with – creating a truly unforgettable experience.   In addition to the main-stage, the affair boasts other ballrooms featuring the old school Hip-Hop tribute band, Too White Crew, and 80s cover band The Breakfast Club, as well as spellbinding DJs – starring Roland – in the Tom Tom Room.   “My number one goal in booking entertainment is to reflect the strengths of the city, culture and people,” says Rock ‘N’ Roll Ball executive producer Tom Neubauer.   “This event is unique in that it offers three diverse parties under one roof – something for everybody.”  

General admission tickets are only $85, and include an open bar from 8:30 to 12:30, admission into all entertainment areas, and party favors.   Also available are various hotel and dinner options.   Rooms start at $139 and packages are available through www.icohare.com or call 847/544-5300.   Ticket-only purchases are available directly through Ticketmaster at 800/745-3000 or on the web at www.ticketmaster.com.
