The Hollywood Palladium is gearing up to open a music lover’s dream, another perk for concertgoers at the iconic venue.
Vinyl Room, the Palladium’s new VIP dining area, opens this Sunday, February 22. Inside, guests will find a beautiful space inspired by 1970s Japanese vinyl listening lounges. It features walls and walls of vinyl, lounge areas, vinyl-themed dining and coffee tables, a luxurious free photobooth, and even a DJ spinning actual vinyl records. And all vinyls on display in the lounge are artists who’ve actually performed at the Palladium over the last 85 years.
“Come here before a show, get dinner, get drinks, make your way right into the concert. You’re ready to have a good night,” said organizers on a media preview on Thursday. “We’re looking forward to bringing that to the fans.”
Geni Lincoln, President of the California Region for Live Nation, added, “I’ve been coming to the Palladium since I was a teenager, so it’s really special to see something like the Vinyl Room now be made uniquely for the building just to enhance. It’s such a special space and being in here, you guys can already feel it.”
When does Vinyl Room open?
The Vinyl Room officially opens with The Gorillaz’s show on Sunday, February 22, 2026.
The space will only be open on Hollywood Palladium show days, starting 90 minutes before doors open, and will remain open after the show.
