The notorious Roseland Ballroom located in Manhattan, New York once served as an indoor ice skating rink but has long since been converted into a hall for seated, theater or dance events. Originally opened in 1919 on Fifty-First street, as a whites only dance hall, it quickly evolved into an all purpose venue for exhibitions, competitions, weddings, and ballroom dancing. The ballroom's reputation as a popular venue for dances and events was mentioned in stories by iconic American author F. Scott Fitzgerald.
In 1956 the venue moved to its current home on Fifty-Second street where the thirty-two hundred person venue quickly took up a reputation as a disco night club. These popular disco parties continued into the nineties despite many controversies including a kidnapping and a homicide.
After the party was eventually shut down in 1990 the ballroom was able to maintain its popularity by featuring A-list performers. Previous concerts at the Roseland Ballroom include performances by Nirvana, Madonna, Ke$ha, Beyonce, Radiohead, and Tiësto. Beverage concessions are available throughout the theater.
