Hollywood Palladium
Grammy award-winning superstar Jay-Z was the first performer to take the stage at the newly renovated Hollywood Palladium on Oct. 15, 2008. Reminiscent of Frank Sinatra, who was the first performer on the legendary stage in 1940, Jay-Z was backed by a 12-piece band. Built to showcase live music, the Hollywood Palladium opened Sept. 23, 1940, with a concert by the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra featuring Frank Sinatra. The yearlong, top-to-bottom Palladium re-do includes a new dance floor, new façade emulating the original architecture, expanded concessions, upgraded restrooms and improved interior lighting.
Major infrastructure upgrades allow the venue to accommodate larger, modern productions or special events, and revamped acoustics offer fans a memorable concert experience. A legendary venue from the start, the Palladium has hosted performers ranging from the Rolling Stones to James Brown.
