Apple Music Hall: New 600-Capacity Venue Opens at London's Battersea Power Station

Apple today announced the opening of Apple Music Hall, “a brand-new state-of-the-art live music venue in London’s storied Battersea Power Station,” according to today’s press announcement.

Apple Music Hall will have a capacity for 600 guests, and promises artists and music fans alike an exceptional live concert experience. Located in and inspired by the Battersea Power Station alongside the River Thames, the new venue incorporates “heritage brickwork, fluted arches, and bronze balconies reminiscent of the historic oriel windows. A giant glass wall further enhances the visual connection with the historic building, offering a panoramic view of the concourse and the river beyond,” the release continues.

At 600 capacity, the venue is designed to bridge the gap between intimacy and production value and allow for an unprecedented level of creative control. According to Apple Music’s own wording, “every seat feels close to the performer, yet the infrastructure offers what an artist requires for an arena tour, with a 38-foot-wide stage that can be reconfigured for traditional front-facing sets or more in-the-round experiences.”

A 48-speaker spatial sound system positioned all around the audience completes the initial specs unveiled so far.

Behind the stage, Apple Music Hall operates as a full production facility, including two professional recording and mix studios, where every performance can be captured as a multitrack recording and mixed in Spatial Audio, live or after the fact. The venue is also hardwired for 16-plus cameras that feed a purpose-built broadcast control room with infrastructure that supports iPhone video capture running in parallel alongside traditional broadcast cameras.

“In short,” the press release concludes, “an artist can perform an intimate live show for fans at Apple Music Hall and walk out with a finished Spatial Audio recording, a broadcast-ready mix, and multicamera video — all from a single show.”

Performances out of Apple Music Hall can also be livestreamed globally so fans outside of London can tune in.

Apple also announced today that all of Apple Music Radio’s London-based hosts and shows will now broadcast live out of Battersea with the opening of its new radio studios.
