Express Elevator To Entertainment

WPLJ/New York is taking full advantage of the new live performance space in Cumulus Media New York’s headquarters. This sweet new venue, dubbed “Stage 17 LIVE” is on the 17th floor of 2 Penn Plaza, high atop Madison Square Garden. On March 1, Luke Bryan broke in the joint while visiting sister WNSH (NASH FM 94.7), and on Tuesday, March 7, The Band Perry performed in the space for PLJ listeners, as did Clean Bandit and Anne Marie. Listeners were treated to tacos for Taco Tuesday, while enjoying great performances by these exciting artists.

WPLJ PD Gillette (pictured here with Clean Bandit and Anne Marie) said, “Clean Bandit, literally passing The Band Perry in the freight elevator as the second act of an intense soft-launch day, was the perfect group to illustrate the diverse breadth, range and flexibility of experiences we can create at Stage 17 LIVE. Their performances were amazing, and the room handled them with aplomb.”
