ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood is turning 50 this fall, and to mark the occasion owner Lou Adler has announced that Neil Young will return to the stage for an intimate anniversary concert on Sept. 20, 50 years to the day that he headlined the opening night at the iconic concert venue in 1973.
The concert will benefit The Painted Turtle and Bridge School. Additional performers slated to mark the 50th anniversary will be announced in the coming weeks. Fans can sign up for information on ticket sales and other updates at theroxyturns50.com.
Acts like Bruce Springsteen, Bob Marley, The Ramones, Chuck Berry, Frank Zappa, Richard Pryor, Guns ‘N Roses and many, many more played the venue in the early stages of their careers. It’s also the spot where Adler launched “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” in the U.S. and where comedy duo Cheech & Chong got their start.
