Citysearch, a leading online entertainment guide, recently announced its 2007 “Best of Citysearch” winners, naming The Wiltern Los Angeles’ Best Live Music Venue. The site’s editorial staff made their selection after careful consideration of the city’s many concert destinations. Citysearch praised the building, saying, “Hollywood’s historic music venue retains its classic Tinseltown charm after a first-rate facelift.”
“We are thrilled to see The Wiltern win this award, especially considering all of the great buildings L.A. has to offer ” said Nick Masters president of Live Nation/So-Cal, the exclusive promoter for The Wiltern. “This is a unique venue in that is it the right fit for every artist.”
The Wiltern is already one of the most storied facilities in the nation. Its signature Art-Deco interior has won renown in architectural circles. Completed in 1931, the venue has been registered as a historical landmark.
But this is no stodgy museum piece-- following a multi-million dollar renovation five years ago, The Wiltern now features modern, state-of-the art equipment and first-class amenities to compliment its charm. It can host both seated and standing events alike, thanks to a five-tiered floor that allows for chairs to be brought in for more intimate performances. Including its balcony, The Wiltern can hold approximately 2,300 fans (depending upon the floor configuration).
This unbeatable combination of historic cache, cutting-edge features and remarkable flexibility makes the building a prime touring destination today. A wide range of artists have graced its stage, including the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Jay-Z, The Killers, Jamie Foxx and many more. The Wiltern is also available for rentals and corporate events.
