Platinum Rockstars at the Hollywood Hard Rock Cafe

Platinum Rockstars as Bon JoviA whole lot of Platinum and a whole lot of Hollywood will be appearing just a few nights from now as the Platinum Rockstars Superstar Show invades the prestigious Hard Rock Cafe Hollywood on Sunday, June 26th at 9pm. The Hard Rock Cafe Hollywood, on Hollywood Blvd. is just one door down from the historic Hollywood & Highlands shopping complex.

The boy of Platinum will be doing two shows starting at 9pm. The first show will feature tributes to Led Zeppelin, Boston and Journey, while the second set takes no prisoners featuring a double shot of Bon Jovi and Def Leppard hits. The boys will even be venturing a bit deeper into the Leppard catalog, busting out a few they haven’t performed for awhile including “Foolin‘” and “Let It Go“.

Parking for the show is a snap–just park at the Hollywood & Highlands underground fortress, take the swizzle stairs up to the main level, then drop down the Mann Chinese Theater steps to Hollywood Blvd. and take a right. The Hard Rock Cafe Hollywood is on Hollywood Blvd. one door down.

Don’t miss your only chance in 2011 to see the Platinum Rockstars return to their Hollywood Blvd. roots and scare the burger muchin’ tourists this Sunday June 26th!

San Diego Demands Platinum!

The Platinum Rockstars have made San Diego their second home, following their first sold-out show at the Belly Up back in March. Over 800 rock lovers enjoyed the greatest hits of the 70s and 80s and demanded a speedy return. Always happy to return to the scene of the party, the boys of Platinum will re-rock the Belly Up on June 4th, 2011.

This time, the Platinum Rockstars are bringing a secret weapon: original guitarist Al Estrada will make a guest appearance as Eddie Van Halen. If you’ve never seen Al, you are missing the most spot-on EVH impersonation of all-time, right down to the custom tailored outfit and Variac’d boutique-wired Marshall head. Al’s chops are ridiculous, even his mistakes (if you’re fortunate enough to hear him make any!) sound like Eddie making mistakes.

Joining Al Estrada is Platinum Rockstars’ own amazing guitarist Roby Duron, recent winner of Guitar Center’s “King Of The Blues” semi-finals. This one-two punch of guitar heroes is sure to leave San Diego Platinum Rockstars friends begging for more. We’ll see you at the Big Show!

The Platinum Rockstars Sell Out!

Sold Out show at the Belly Up, San Diego, CAWe are very happy to announce that the Platinum Rockstars Superstar Show had its first SOLD OUT headlining show at the Belly Up in San Diego, CA on Saturday, March 5th 2011. Our humble thanks to our amazing fans, the Belly Up and our great promoter Beau for making the night such a tremendous success.

The Belly Up was rockin’ and rollin’ to the greatest music of the 70s and 80s as the Platinum Rockstars gave their all in their first show of 2011. Over 800 screaming fans were treated to tributes to Led Zeppelin, Boston, Journey, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard as well as a new tribute to Whitesnake. We will post photos as soon as they’re available. Thanks again and we’ll see you again in San Diego later this year, you can count on it!

Final Platinum Rockstars Show of 2010!

The final performance of the Platinum Rockstars in 2010 at the Pala Casino Grand Cabaret took place on Saturday, December 18th 2010. The Rockstars debuted their new Whitesnake set including the hits “Still Of The Night”, “Is This Love” and “Here I Go Again”.

2010 has been berry, berry good for the Platinum Rockstars as they performed in front of well over 20,000 screaming classic rock fans at over 20 shows in California and Nevada.

Crowds included the 10,000+ at the Pat Benatar headlining Brea Summerfest in June, the 6,000+ at the Santa Clarita Summer Concert Series in July and the over 4000 rockers who saw the Platinum Rockstars supporting Foreigner at the Taste Of Newport in September.

We’d like to thank all our fans, old and new for helping us to make 2010 a breakout year for the show and we look forward to rockin’ you again in 2011!
