In May of 1980, Webster Hall hosted an event, The Ritz sponsored by Jerry Brandt was a showcase for up and coming rock acts like, Prince, The Pretenders, Metallica, Sting, Aerosmith, Guns n’ Roses, KISS, BB King and many more. Once The Ritz relocated in 1989 Webster Hall was recreated by getting fully renovated in 1992 by The Ballinger Brothers who not only restored the building and recreated the color scheme of each ballroom, but they added all new lighting technologies along with audio and video recording systems. This was the major pivotal moment in Webster Hall’s explosion into the E.D.M. scene, hosting up to four different shows in one night and over a dozen events in one weekend. The Grand Ballroom was host to mostly Rave/House music along with other heavy and loud electronic artists playing their tunes.

As the E.D.M. grew larger and larger, Webster Hall began dedicating specific rooms and evenings to hosting strictly electronic shows and performances. In one weekend at Webster, there are numerous events for E.D.M. such as, BASSment Saturdays hosted in the studio/Lowest level of Webster. Also, there is Girls+Boys Night hosted in the Grand Ballroom/Top Level. All these events happen on a weekly basis and have seen massively popular names amongst the E.D.M culture like, Wolfgang Gartner, Nero, JAUZ, Baauer, Charlie XCX, Feed Me and many more.
