SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 21, 2006 - No place to crash for the night in Los Angeles? No time to get an inside track on a pair of front-row tickets? No problem. Music fans have no more excuses to miss one the hottest events of September. AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) announced today that the AT&T blue room will give fans around the country unprecedented front-row access to this year's KROQ Inland Invasion. The experience, which has been a fixture of the CBS RADIO station's lineup since 2001, will be delivered to fans nationwide through a live webcast featuring real-time performances and exclusive interviews with featured band members.

 

The AT&T blue room (www.attblueroom.com/music) will feature the KROQ Inland Invasion show, including performances from Guns N' Roses, Muse, Papa Roach, Avenged Sevenfold, Rise Against, Atreyu, Buck Cherry and 30 seconds to Mars through a live webcast on Saturday, Sept. 23. Following the event, much of the content will be archived on the blue room, enabling fans to relive favorite festival performances.

 

Based in Los Angeles, the World Famous KROQ is the most listened to and, arguably, the most influential rock station in the country.

 

"Through the blue room, AT&T is delivering a unique opportunity to fans from around the country and the world to take part in a KROQ music experience," said Mikal Harn, vice president of AT&T Consumer. "As we continue to secure and showcase the best in exclusive content, we create opportunities to reach new audiences and tell them about the unique aspects of the AT&T product portfolio. It's a win-win situation."
