It is part of the larger Zepp family of concert halls (the others are located in Fukuoka, Osaka, Nagoya, Sendai, and Sapporo), and it opened in March of 1999. Zepp is a popular location for bands that appeal to people of all ages, with young and old stars appearing regularly as well as many international stars as well. Zepp is also a popular location to hold corporate events and conventions, and can be rented by any organization that can afford its relatively steep pricing. All of the locations are owned by Sony Music Group, though they were started by Avex Group Holdings before the company withdrew primary ownership. Asahi Breweries Group is its primary sponser. Zepp Tokyo has the largest seating capacity of all the concert halls under the Zepp name, and it is the largest live house in Tokyo.
