In a boom era for big music venues, the Shrine gets a facelift for its 100th anniversary

On that Friday, the concert venue near USC, known for its long history and popularity, seemed to have undergone some enhancements. The sound might have been clearer, the stage more adorned, and the air conditioning working at full capacity. Some fans may have discovered a newly constructed VIP bar, designed to harmonize with the venue’s exotic Moroccan themes. The members of L’Impératrice probably enjoyed their upgraded dressing room, featuring stylish ’70s furniture and a shower larger than many apartments in Paris.
