This is the latest milestone for Sixx, who is also celebrating the 10-year anniversary of his New York Times bestseller The Heroin Diaries this year, as well as an upcoming play based on the book. 

“I’m so proud of what we’ve accomplished with The Side Show Countdown and The Side Show Classic – they are the perfect companions to Sixx Sense and its roster of over 130 affiliates, keeping our audience connected to the music they love,” shared Sixx.  “We’re excited to celebrate our 100th Side Show affiliate in the great city of New Orleans on Bayou 95.7. This is a major milestone for us, but it’s just the beginning!”

Kat Vance, WKBU Program Director, stated: “New Orleans is a unique place. We needed a real unique rocker to join the Bayou 95.7 Krewe who can handle a city like this, and we knew Nikki would fit right in. We look forward to many market visits with him!”  

The Side Show Classic with Nikki Sixx, an extension of The Side Show Countdown with Nikki Sixx for Rock and Alternative stations, features the international rock icon as he takes listeners on a journey through Classic Rock.  In addition to playing his personal music picks, Sixx shares stories behind the music, as well as conversations with the artists and other guests. 

The Side Show weekend programs are complemented by Sixx Sense with Nikki Sixx, one of the most-widely-syndicated rock radio programs in the U.S., heard weekdays on 135 stations worldwide as well as iHeartRadio.  Each night on the program, Sixx discusses music and lifestyle topics as he gives listeners a backstage look at the world and mind of a rock star.  Joined on air by co-host Jenn Marino, Sixx provides his unique perspective and attitude as the duo welcomes celebrity guests, recording artists and fascinating characters from all walks of life.
