Ring in 2010 in Royal Oak - Metro Detroit's night life and entertainment Mecca! The historic Royal Oak Music Theatre will be home to the nationwide countdown for Metro Detroit as New Year's Nation brings Michigan's partygoers the hottest New Year's parties from L.A., Las Vegas & New York!

Venue:

From the first day the theater opened in 1928 as the Kunsky Royal Oak, the art-deco Royal Oak Music Theatre continues to shine as a first-class venue in a city that is synonymous with entertainment.

From movie palace to concert venue, the Royal Oak Music Theatre has undergone many changes throughout its near 80-year history. Originally constructed by Rapp & Rapp as a movie palace, the theater soon made its mark as one of the “largest and finest of Detroit suburban theaters.” Preserving the venue's magnificent grandeur throughout the years has added to the allure of the Royal Oak Music Theatre as it continually remains a viable institution in the ever-changing entertainment industry.

As the demand for new entertainment and night life broaden, the Royal Oak Music Theatre continues to cater to the audience's tastes. In 1978 programming moved toward hosting live music and comedy. Then in 2004, when Worldwide Entertainment, LLC took over at the helm, the Royal Oak Music Theatre hit another high note when theater – including off-Broadway, musicals, and dance productions – was brought back to the venue's stage.

The long list of eclectic and unforgettable performances at the Royal Oak Music Theatre has included The White Stripes, *NSYNC, Billy Crystal, Robin Williams, Duran Duran, George Clinton & The Parliament Funkadelic, Hank Williams Jr., Iggy Pop, Run D.M.C., Violent Femmes, Bauhaus, Donovan, Mike Epps, John Heffron, Charlie Murphy, Donnell Rawlings & Bill Burr, Was (not Was), Ben Folds, the Romantics, Will Downing, John Legend, Modest Mouse, Violent Femmes, Our Lady Peace, Cake, The Ten Tenors, “Tap Dogs Rebooted,” “Bellydance Superstars,” and “Forever Tango.”
