Interview: Destiny Malibu,  one of the year’s 25 break-out artists.

  Destiny Malibu started singing when she was 5 years old, on Univision no less.  By 12 she was getting radio spins and iTunes downloads. By 19 she was nominated for the Indy Music Video of the Year award, she had over a million views on Vevo and YouTube, she had a song at #1 local ReverbNation Pop Charts and she was in the top 100 globally.

She will be celebrating her 21st birthday this December and is negotiating with sponsors to make the party global.

After the opening set by In This Moment and before KORN, Rob Zombie was ready to unleash his cast of ghoulish musicians onto the stage.

The energy was boundless as Rob jumped across the stage insuring the full engagement of the audience. The crowd quickly reciprocated the energy tenfold as the Shoreline became a flurry of adrenaline. As always, Rob delivered 150% on the stage and is a phenomenal artist. His dreads were flying across the stage as he released every ounce of adrenaline onto that crowd.
