Hidden in the Hollywood Hills, the spectacular mansion in which the rockers live during the show is one of the greatest historical estates in Los Angeles. With a 360-degree view of the surrounding area, this Mediterranean villa began life as the private palace of an heiress and her silent movie star husband, who used it as a social hub for the original creative titans of Hollywood such as Buster Keaton, Mary Astor and Douglas Fairbanks.

Since then, the mansion has undergone a number of incarnations, but in recent years, it has served as a retreat, recording studio and occasional performance venue for some of the greatest names in rock and roll. Sting, Elton John, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Beck have all played benefit concerts at the mansion, while Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale, Lucinda Williams, Train, Eddie Vedder, Sheryl Crow, Sarah McLachlan, Fiona Apple, Jon Brion and many others have either lived or recorded here.

Now, this rich heritage is handed to the next generation of great musicians, as the rockers take up residence in the mansion for as long as they each remain in the competition. From the secluded spacious grounds to the fully functional rehearsal studio, the rockers will have the run of this dream house, getting a taste of the lifestyle that awaits one of them. This is where they'll live, bond, party, prepare and learn how to truly become a rock star.
