Jay-Z to re-open the Hollywood Paladium

Posted Tuesday, August 26, 2008 @ 05:02 in Music by Andrew Medina

The Hollywood Paladium opened on September 24, 1940 with then up-and-coming singer, Frank Sinatra. It was the ushering of a golden era in music. After closing it's doors last year for major renovatins, the Los Angeles landmark is set to pass the torch and blast the doors back open on October 15 with hip hop legend Jay-Z. Picture Jigga, backed  by a 12-peice band  at  historic venue that holds about 4,000 people...epic right?

 Jay-Z said " I'm honored to play such an iconic venue. Just as Frank ushered in a golden era, I hope this opening will mark the begining of a resurgence in generation-defining live music"

 
Tix for the show go on sale next week on September 5th. Good luck on gettin some!
