Sony Hall is a mid-sized concert venue located in the heart of Times Square, Manhattan. Originally opened in 1938 as the CBS Radio Playhouse, it hosted numerous live broadcasts and performances throughout its early history. It underwent renovations and operated under various names – including the Diamond Horseshoe – primarily as a television studio and event space before being rebranded as Sony Hall in 2018 following acquisition by Sony Music Entertainment. The venue retains some of its art deco architectural features while offering modern sound and lighting capabilities, accommodating both seated and standing audiences. It frequently hosts concerts across diverse genres, comedy shows, and other live events.
