The famous Roxy Theater in West Hollywood's Sunset Strip has undergone a digital transformation, with out-of-home media specialists Orange Barrel Media retrofitting the venue's static signage with a new large-format LED display from SNA Displays. The 50-foot-tall, 20-foot-wide digital pylon now faces westbound traffic on Sunset Boulevard, offering dynamic advertising and on-premise messaging capabilities for the iconic music venue.

Why it matters

The Roxy Theater is a legendary live music destination on the Sunset Strip, having hosted countless iconic rock and metal acts over the decades. Upgrading the venue's signage to a high-resolution digital display not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also opens up new revenue streams through dynamic advertising opportunities, helping to future-proof the Roxy's business model in a changing media landscape.

The details

The new LED display from SNA Displays features a 10mm pixel pitch and measures 50 feet tall by 20 feet wide, with 1,536 x 608 pixels of resolution. It replaces static signage between the Roxy and the adjacent Rainbow Bar & Grill. The digital pylon faces westbound traffic on Sunset Boulevard, with static signage on the reverse side. The updated signage will showcase digital out-of-home content as well as on-premise messaging for events and shows at the Roxy.

  • The digital signage retrofit was completed in April 2026.
