"As the live music experience evolves, it's important to AEG Live to stay ahead of technology and trends, and as many of our younger fans are gamers as well, we are excited for the possibilities at PlayStation Theater."

"PlayStation Theater is an exceptionally exciting initiative, allowing us to marry our tremendous brand momentum with an amazing venue right in the heart of Times Square," said John Koller, Vice President, Marketing at PlayStation. "We believe the PlayStation brand should be deeply integrated with large cultural events, and this partnership provides that opportunity. We are looking forward to exploring significant cultural moments at PlayStation Theater."

"PlayStation Theater, located at the epicenter of live entertainment, is the perfect venue for PlayStation to show their latest products," said Andrew Klein, Sr. Vice President, AEG Global Partnerships. "We are excited to work with a global leader to launch the new PlayStation Theater, a venue proven to be one of the industry's greatest destinations for live entertainment."

The Fall 2015 line-up at PlayStation Theater continues to bring an eclectic mix of shows to the Times Square stage with acts that include Billboard Latin Music "New Artist of the Year" award-winner J Balvin with pop star Becky G, a run of shows by rising comedian Bo Burnham, rock band Circa Survive, The Misfits, genre-bending producer/DJ Parov Stelar, rap group Cypress Hill's annual "Haunted Hill," country singer Cole Swindell, and three nights with heavy metal band King Diamond performing their classic album Abigail in its entirety.
