LOS ANGELES, Calif., Dec. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- New Year's Nation (NYN), a high-end events and promotions company that leverages technology to create simultaneous social experiences for young professionals in major markets around the country, today announced that Los Angeles has been selected as one of 10 host cities for NYN's simultaneous New Year's Eve celebration.

"I'm glad our first show back is here in LA on New Year's Eve. I've never been 10 places at once before," said DJ AM.

"I'm ready to get back on stage with AM and continue to rock the house. I'm very excited to bring in the New Year in my hometown of LA," said Travis Barker.

The TRVSDJAM set will be streamed live in HD quality on the Internet at www.newyearsnation.com, and broadcast live to NYN parties across the U.S. through NYN-TV, a live, high-definition (HD) quality broadcast powered by BitGravity, a Content Delivery Network (CDN) for interactive broadcast.
