About this Event
KNAC40: PURE. FKN. ROCK.
This is KNAC40 and if you know, you know. The legends who scorched the airwaves are coming home for the loudest, rowdiest, most unapologetic rock throwdown of the year.
The original purveyors of Pure Rock return: THRASHER • LONG PAUL • GONZO GREG • DANGEROUS DARREN • PHILTHY PHIL • GREGG STEELE • JACK TRASH • STEW … and more maniacs still loading in.
Expect no rules, no fluff, no corporate radio BS; just rock lifers telling legendary stories, surprise performances, and an all-star L.A. jam that'll peel the chrome off your skull.
When KNAC Hit the Airwaves, Rock Grew Teeth. On January 8, 1986, KNAC 105.5 FM unleashed “Pure Rock” and detonated the music world. While the suits played it safe, KNAC kicked the doors off the hinges and went all-hard-rock, all-the-time, long before anyone had the guts to do it.
They didn’t follow trends; they created them.
They didn’t chase hits; they broke bands wide open.
KNAC wasn’t radio.
It was a rebellion, a culture, a religion.
A war cry for every metal kid who lived too loud and felt too much.
KNAC blasted:
- Sunset Strip fire: Mötley Crüe, Ratt, Poison
- Thrash supremacy: Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth
- Dark Seattle thunder: Alice in Chains, Soundgarden
- Deep cuts and filthy riffs other stations wouldn’t touch
No nostalgia. No museum piece.
Just Pure. Rock. Carnage.
