The Roxy Theatre
🇺🇸Los Angeles, United States
OPEN
Since 1973
Opened in September 1973 by Lou Adler and Elmer Valentine, The Roxy was designed to be a high-end counterpoint to the grittier Whisky. It is historically significant for bringing theatricality to the Strip, hosting the first U.S. production of "The Rocky Horror Show" in 1974, before it became a film phenomenon.

The Roundhouse
🇬🇧London, United Kingdom
OPEN
Since 1964
Built in 1847 as a turntable engine shed for the London & North Western Railway, The Roundhouse is a masterpiece of Victorian industrial architecture. After falling into disuse, it was repurposed as an arts venue in 1964. Its circular structure and massive scale made it perfect for the immersive, experimental "happenings" of the 1960s counterculture.
