/// Entertainment Centre

Where:  Australia - Perth
What:  With a capacity of over 8,000 people, and an entry in the Guiness Book of World Records, this urban exploration can´t be missed. For over a decade, the Perth Entertainment Centre has remained empty and very well locked and secured, it is almost like a clock simply stopped inside. But a persistent urban explorer can enter. In 1974, the indoor stadium opened its doors, and on this stage once stood Bob Marley, Bono, Whitney Houston, Bon Jovi, The Beach Boys, AC/DC, Queen, Sting, and many others. Today it's just another more abandoned building.


























/// Loew's Kings Theater

Where:  United States - New York City
Source:  After the Final Curtain
What:  Loew’s Kings Theatre opened in 1929 and was designed by the architectural firm of Rapp and Rapp and decorated by Harold W. Rambush.  It was operated by the Loew’s Theaters chain, and it was one of the five “Loew’s Wonder Theaters” in the New York metropolitan area. Loew’s dropped the Kings in August 1977 due to low attendance and high maintance costs, as well as the decline of the surrounding neighborhood. It remains closed and abandoned since that year.
