Back in November 2016, Rainbow Bar & Grill dedicated its patio to Lemmy and re-named it “Lemmy’s Lounge.” It was a fitting gesture from the Rainbow, as when Lemmy wasn’t touring or recording, the majority of his waking hours were spent on said patio. There was already a life-size bronze statue immortalizing Lemmy at the Rainbow, which attracts fans from all over the world, and Lemmy’s Lounge allows hardcore fans and casual patrons alike to sample the wares and atmosphere that Lemmy loved so much.
On Friday, April 19, 2024, the ashes of Motörhead’s legendary frontman Lemmy Kilmister were enshrined at West Hollywood, California’s famous Rainbow Bar & Grill on the Sunset Strip.
Come celebrate Motörhead Day, Thursday, May 8th in the band’s 50th Anniversary year at Lemmy’s favorite hangout, the Rainbow.
There will also be free Motörhead flash tattoos available on 8th May at The Estate Tattoo (813 Centennial St, Los Angeles, CA) from 4pm to 7pm, so make sure to get some fresh ink before heading to the Rainbow!
Other bars and clubs across the land and sea will be engaging in 8th May festivities, check Motörhead official socials for the latest info. Visit: imotorhead.com
