The Fonda Theatre, located on Hollywood Boulevard, originally opened as the Carter Theatre in 1926, designed by architect H.C. Chambers. It was later renamed the Philharmonic Auditorium and served as a venue for orchestral performances before undergoing several transformations. In 1970 it became a concert venue known as the Music Box Theatre, hosting numerous prominent rock and alternative acts throughout the 1970s and 80s. The building was acquired by Silver Screens Entertainment in 1999 and rebranded as the Fonda Theatre, continuing its role as a mid-sized live music venue with a capacity of approximately 1,200 people.
