Rock Lititz is the largest live touring performance stage production facility in the world.[1][2]
It is located in Lititz, Pennsylvania and primarily serves worldwide live music touring shows and events. It is housed on a 150 acre campus and includes 40+ tenant companies that provide design and production support needed to produce touring shows. Additionally, it has multiple large stage construction and rehearsal spaces.[3][4]
Major touring acts such as The Rolling Stones, Lady Gaga, Aerosmith, Taylor Swift, and others have designed, built, and rehearsed their world tours. Several Super Bowl halftime sets and stages have also be built and rehearsed at Rock Lititz.
Rock Lititz's origins include several production related companies such as Clair Global, Tait Towers, and Atomic Design.[5]
History
Inception
In 2011, partners Troy Clair and Late Great Real Estate purchased a 96-acre farm adjacent to Clair Global's Lititz headquarters, with the goal of creating a collaborative campus for live-event industry vendors. The Rock Lititz initiative gained momentum through community events like the Rock Lititz Tour bike race and the renovation of a floor in the General Sutter Inn (now Lititz Springs Inn and Spa).[6][7][8]
In 2012, with Warwick Township's approval, the partnership began construction. In September 2014, Rock Lititz Studio 1 was inaugurated, featuring substantial rehearsal space, high ceilings, and attached offices and amenities.[9]
Growth
Rock Lititz expanded in 2015 with the development of "Pod 2," a multi-tenant facility for live event service providers.[10][11]
In 2016, "Hotel Rock Lititz" was added to the campus, featuring a restaurant, lounge, and amenities for public guests and performing artists.[12]
In 2021, "Pod 5" was constructed to accommodate additional business tenants.[13]
Also in 2021, "Mickey's Black Box" opened as 750 seat entertainment venue for live performances.[14]

Celebrity Performer Sightings
Rock Litiz maintains strict privacy on acts that are on campus in design, build or rehearsal stage. Several prominnet stars have been cited in Lititz and the surrounding area during these times. Becuase of secrecey maintained by Rock Litiz and small town size of Lititz, the sightings make the local news.[16]

The girl asked Tyler if he would wait while she summoned here mother who was also a fan. Tyler obliged and at the end of the visit Tyler aske the young girl if she had ever been kissed? Upon replying "no", Tyler kissed the 14 year-old saying, "Well now you can tell everyone you got your first kiss from a rock star". [17]
