A step back in time with the world's most iconic music venues
Over 100 years of dancing the night away
The Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall, Los Angeles
The Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall are both part of the original structure known as Al Malaikah Temple. Used first as a civic center and later a performance venue and showcasing location, The Shrine has been home to some of Los Angeles' most iconic events: from 1947 to 1948 and from 1988 to 2001, it was used to host the Academy Awards and for a number of years, it was also where the Grammys took place. In 1933, it was the location for the famous exhibition scene in the original King Kong film. In the present day, The Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall collectively accommodates over 11,000 fans and consistently books big name talent.
Amnesia, Ibiza
Amnesia Ibiza's rich history starts at the end of the 18th century, when the Planells family took residence at its current site for five generations. After drawing a handful of tourists in the 1950s, hippies and musicians traveled to the legendary land over the next two decades. After visits from the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and The Doors, word got out that the Ibizan islands were a true destination of paradise.
In 1976, a young man named Antonio Escohotado rented out the space for 120€ a month in hopes of creating the island's premiere discotheque. Amnesia, which was originally to be called 'The Workshop of Forgetfulness', started with highlighted rock acts but quickly shifted to disco and funk, prepping for the mass takeover of house music and the Balearic sound. Its iconic open-air terrace has since been covered, but still floods with light at sunrise every day.
Today, there is no need for any introduction of Amnesia Ibiza, as it has evolved into one of the world's most famous clubs.
