I'm sure everyone knows by now that The Roseland Ballroom is coming to an end. Given that, I think it's appropriate (being music fans) that we kind of pay tribute to something that has been an amazing part of NYC for so long.

Let's take a look at some of the amazing gigs The Ballroom has held over the years.

Most Notable right now are of course the Lady Gagagigs that are set to send the ballroom off to it's farewell.




Deadmau5



Dirty Mix



Madonna performed a promo tour to support Hard Candy






And her album "Music"



And again for the MDNA tour, she held competitions to chose dancers here.



Beyonce'






Adele

As well as hosting some of the most iconic stars. The Ballroom can be configured in some extremely amazing and breathtaking ways.





So, when the Ballroom finally closes its doors it will be a sad day for music Indeed.

note: Please feel free to let me know if I am missing your fave and I will update the OP.

Adele played there back in 2009 (on her 21st birthday).

Thanks, I'll add now

So upset Roseland is shutting down to become APARTMENTS.

Just what NYC needs... $2500 a month studio apartments. Smfh.

*Moves in*

I hope Gaga's show gets put on dvd.

Wow really

It's always sad when they close down venues like this.

At least they've got the person giving it the farewell it deserves

I was kinda shocked about the closure thing. Why would they do that?

I'm not sure why. I guess it's more profitable for them to have appartments

A damn mess

Towards the end of Roseland's run, it wasn't really booking many acts to perform there unlike it's competitors (for lack of a better word). It might have been a hard sell for artists who aren't "big" enough (the venue's capacity is 3500 between two levels), but then maybe "too small" for other artists to consider playing it. Who knows at this point?

Nicki and Drake did a show there

Thanks i'll update the OP when I get home

Honestly I think the venue just wasn't profitable enough, most people that play in NYC do it in other venues nowadays so I can see why they would close it down.

It's sad, regardless of anything.

I love how you never capitalize Gaga's name you obsessed little turd.

What are you talking about? Lady gaga's name is in bold like all the others. None of their names are capatalised.... I even called gaga's show the most notable at the moment.

Edit: Oh, You mean her "stage name" that isn't in the begining of a sentence. It wasn't even intetional and it's correct grammar as it isn't her name. I'll fix it for you though.

I know what a proper Noun is. I don't believe "Lady Gaga" is a proper noun. Her Name is Stefani. People don't get to decide what proper nouns are. Anyways, it doesn't matter beause I updated it. It's not worth the disagreement lol
