	GREAT WHITE LION SNAKE 9:00 - 10:00pm Do you remember the glory days of rock n' roll? Sure, the 60's and 70's were cool, but COME ON! We all know that the "Decade of Decadence" was the 80's. It was a time when the Sunset Strip ruled the world, a time when there was still attitude and danger in rock music. If you miss those days, or even missed OUT on those days, then your dreams have come true! Ladies and Gentlemen, we present to you GREAT WHITE LIÖN SNAKE!!! This show is the REAL DEAL: Big hair, make-up, leather, Spandex, and all the moves and attitudes of the era. This is not aging rockers doing their old favorites. This is 80's METAL the way it is SUPPOSED to be done!
	SOUL ASYLUM 10:15 - 11:45pm Formed in 1981 by High School friends Dan Murphy, Karl Mueller and Dave Pirner, Soul Asylum quickly made a name for themselves nationally releasing four albums by 1988. After signing with Columbia Records in 1992, they went on to release Grave Dancers Union officially transforming them into international superstars, going double-platinum and winning a Grammy for Best Rock Song in 1994. After taking a break in 1998, Soul Asylum reunited in 2004 to record their ninth album, The Silver Lining. They're currently working on a new album set to be released later this year.

	COOLIO 12:00am - 1:00am Coolio first became famous during 1994 with his debut single "Fantastic Voyage"...After the success of his debut, Coolio became a legitimate rap star. In 1995 he made a song for the movie Dangerous Minds, and this song became "Gangsta's Paradise". "Gangsta's Paradise", which featured R&B singer L.V., would became one of the most successful rap songs of all time, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 3 weeks. It was the #1 single of 1995 for all genres, and was a truly global hit, as it reached #1 in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Austria, Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Australia, and New Zealand. We can't wait for Coolio to bring us into 2010 as he takes the main stage at midnight. Get excited as this is the first time Coolio will be making an appearance at a Downtown Countdown Party

With a combined 20 year track record, Lindy Promotions and USA Entertainment are coming together to bring you Atlanta's largest New Year's Eve party ever...THE DOWNTOWN COUNTDOWN!! Located in Downtown Atlanta, Hyatt Regency Atlanta is one of Atlanta's premier hotel properties. It's conveniently located in the heart of downtown Atlanta's Peachtree Center and in close proximity to the Georgia Dome, the Georgia Aquarium, Atlantic Station, World of Coca Cola, and CNN Center.

Great Service
With a ratio of one bartender for every 70 guests and 1 buffet station for every 150 guests, you won't spend your New Year's Eve waiting in lines. Capacity is limited to a very comfortable number.

The Crowd
The event attracts a mid 20's to late 30's crowd, but we welcome everyone and are known for attracting a diverse crowd, both ethnically and age-wise. We also attract a nice mix of singles and couples. With 6 party areas and themed rooms and 3 VIP lounges, encompassing an entire level and over 87,000 square feet of party space, the Hyatt Regency will have something for everyone!
