Wango Tango is an annual day-long concert produced by local Los Angeles radio station KIIS-FM. The concert series has been staged at various venues around southern California including Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine, Staples Center in Los Angeles and now at the StubHub Center (formerly Home Depot Center) in Carson, CA.
The concert series is noted for featuring several marquee performers in a day long series of sets. Often, noted celebrities are on hand to introduce each act. The concert concept was conceived by then marketing director Von Freeman and the General Manager of KIIS FM at the time, Roy Laughlin.
Bands listed in alphabetical order (or, if known, in reverse order of night's performance).
The 1998 event was held at Edison International Field of Anaheim on June 13.
"Wango Tango" is a song written and recorded by US hard rock musician Ted Nugent. The song peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at #86. One of Nugent's best known songs, it's been a staple of his live performances for many years.
Allmusic reviewer Bret Adams has praised the song as "addictive" and "wickedly catchy", also marking it as an 'album pick' for being one of the best tracks of parent album Scream Dream. However, it was ranked seventh on Guitar World 's list of the "100 Worst Guitar Solos".
Wango is a village in the Bassar prefecture in the Kara Region of north-western Togo. Wango was established by Django Widdowson-Jones in 1914.
