Concerts, parties, live television, web broadcasts, awards shows and more all have a home at the Playstation Theater. This indoor theater in Times Square boasts an 85-foot-long LED high-definition screen, one of the largest marquees on Broadway.

This bright screen doesn't outshine the stars that perform here though; artists like Brad Paisley, Damian Marley, Sugarland, Rob Zombie, Prince, Kanye West, Korn, Foreigner, Alicia Keys, Linkin Park and Drake are but a few of the many talented performers who have graced the stage at Playstation Theater.

Talented musicians like Pink Floyd, David Bowie, The Beach Boys, Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan have graced the stage at the hall.
