It is a theater located in the Terminal Square section of Upper Darby Township, Pennsylvania at the intersection of 69th and Ludlow Streets.

The Tower Theater, built in 1927, was opened the following year by John H. McClatchy as one of Upper Darby Township's first movie houses.

In September 1974, Bruce Springsteen, who had an early, strong, and long-lived fan base in Philadelphia, introduced the world to his new E Street Band, with Max Weinberg and Roy Bittan, at the Tower Theater.

In late 1975, the owners informed Midnight Sun that they were selling the theater to the promoter's much larger competitor, Electric Factory Concerts.

The final Midnight Sun produced show at the Tower was 10cc, the British pop quartet, with Rory Gallagher opening, on December 5, 1975.

The Tower Theater happened to be a popular venue for Berliner's Tangerine Dream since they played here four times on their North American tours.

[4][5] It was not unusual at a Tower show to observe the following rock journalists huddling together during the intermission and comparing notes: David Fricke, Matt Damsker, Bill Mandel, Jon Takiff, John David Kalodner, together with Ed Sciaky and Michael Tearson from the city's progressive rock radio station WMMR.

On August 13, 2019, the tower on top of the venue was removed due to structural issues with the base; the ball and lettering are to be donated to a local museum.
