The Wild 100 Concert will include performances by:
Hot Chelle Rae
Before Hot Chelle Rae “fueled up the Jeep with bubbly elasti-funk and breezy hip-hop swagger” (as
Entertainment Weekly
put it) with their brand new single “I Like It Like That,” the
Nashville-based quartet scored a bona fide breakthrough smash hit over
the last several months with “Tonight Tonight.” Declared “one of the
catchiest pop-rock anthems of the summer” by
USA Today, “Tonight Tonight” crashed into the Top 10 on the
Billboard Hot 100 chart, shot to No. 1 at Hot AC radio and was certified double-platinum in the U.S.
Austin Mahone
At just 16 years of age, singer/songwriter Austin Mahone is poised for
stardom. Already making his mark on the scene, Mahone scored a hit on
iTunes with his first original single, “11:11.” Not only does he have a
solid fan base, known as “Mahomies,” but the teen sensation is gaining
a legion of loyal fans in the media as well. He’s hot on the press trail
stopping by high profile magazines such as
Popstar!, which has featured him on their cover, as well as
J-14,
M,
Astro Girl,
Quiz Fest and
Twist.
The Ready Set
The Ready Set’s debut album
I’m Alive, I’m Dreaming was released in June 2010 and debuted at No. 3 on
Billboard’s
Heatseekers chart. The JR Rotem-produced “Love Like Woe” made a splash
on radio and sales charts across the country, hitting #15 on the
Mainstream Top 40 airplay chart, #27 on the
Billboard Hot 100 Chart, and #18 on the Digital Songs Chart. The track has been certified platinum by the R.I.A.A.
Forever the Sickest Kids
On tour in the U.S. for the first time in 2012, pop-rock
quartet Forever the Sickest Kids (FTSK) will be hitting some of their
favorite cities in the Midwest and East Coast in July and August. In
2011, FTSK toured with Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, All-Time Low,
Breathe Carolina, The Cab and more. The band spent time overseas playing
shows in the UK as well as Japan and Australia earlier this year. The
band is also busy writing and recording new songs.
Rebecca Black
Millions of people know Rebecca Black as the 14-year-old girl
whose catchy first song "Friday" stuck in their heads. What they don't
know about this teenager from Anaheim Hills, CA is that she has been
performing since she was a toddler and is dedicated to a career in
music. She recorded “Friday” and filmed a video to accompany the song,
thinking only her family and close friends would see and hear it. The
video went viral on YouTube within a month. Within a few short weeks,
artists such as Nick and Joe Jonas Tweeted the lyrics and performed
"Friday" in concert, as did Justin Bieber. Lady Gaga told a group at
Google headquarters, "Rebecca Black is genius." Rebecca released her
second single “My Moment” and within the first 36 hours it had over six
million views on YouTube. She has since released her third single,
“Person of Interest” and even performed her hit song “Friday” on stage
with Katy Perry at Katy’s sold-out concert in Los Angeles.
Outasight
Every so often a new artist comes along with a sound so innovative; he
is able to help reshape the barriers that confine mainstream music. Meet
Outasight, the Yonkers, NY bred musician who weaves together the
cadenced sounds of popular hip-hop and indie rock with the poignant
sensibility of classic pop and soul music to create a fresh, new sound
that is all his own. Now with Warner Bros. Records, Outasight is getting
ready to release his debut full length album in 2012.
Action Item
2012 is going to be their year. After releasing
The Stronger the Love
in 2010, these five boys from New Jersey are on track to be stars. Past
tours with acts like Hot Chelle Rae, We The Kings, Allstar Weekend,
Honor Society and more have made Action Item one of the most buzzed acts
of this past year. Not to mention three singles on Radio Disney, the
most recent being "Learn To Fly," which was produced by Nick Jonas.
Kicking Daisies
Teen rockers Kicking Daisies blend pop, rock and a whole lot of energy
with stunning musical skills to sell out venues around the country and
open for some of the biggest names in pop and indie rock. With breakout
successes ranging from winning Disney's Next Big Thing Contest and a
Billboard charting single, the gifted members of Kicking Daisies are setting their sights on stardom.
