On Saturday 8 August 2026, Centre Stage will give fans the rare opportunity to perform on The Apollo stage in front of their own crowd. Designed for groups of up to six performers, each two-hour booking includes a 10-minute sound check, a 45-minute live set, access for up to 30 guests and an hour of post-show celebrations in the venue’s VIP bar. Each booking also includes two cases of beer and two bottles of prosecco, creating the ultimate backstage-to-headliner experience.

On Sunday 9 August 2026, Eventim Apollo, in partnership with H&F Giving (a local charity), will host H+F Spotlight, a community celebration showcasing the talent and cultural diversity of Hammersmith & Fulham while highlighting the work of local grassroots organisations.

The afternoon event will give community groups the chance to perform on the world-famous stage, raise their profile, and increase awareness of the support they provide locally. It will also raise funds for H&F Giving and its grant schemes, which help make arts and culture more accessible across the borough.

H+F Spotlight will feature performances from CabLab Studios, The WILDE Foundation, Ghost Dance Troupe, The Diamond Foundry Agency and Passion Gymnastics. The event will be hosted by Hammersmith’s own Jonathan Stadlan, alongside comedians Wilson Milton and Prince Abdi. Stadlan, who lives near Eventim Apollo, is the founder and resident MC of Live Next To The Apollo , the hit comedy club based at Riverside Studios. All profits from ticket sales will go directly to H&F Giving and its community grant programmes.

On Sunday 23 August 2026, Eventim Apollo will host Venue Tours, an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience through rarely seen spaces normally closed to the public, including corridors, dressing rooms and hidden corners.

The tours offer the chance to follow in the footsteps of iconic artists, from The Beatles’ celebrated performances in 1964 and 1965 to David Bowie ’s final Ziggy Stardust show in 1973, Queen’s appearances in 1979, and Kate Bush’s sold-out residency in 2014. The venue has continued to host major current artists for some of their most iconic moments, including Adele in 2011, Harry Styles ’ debut solo London shows in 2017, and Ed SHeeran ’s 2023 performance of his entire Subtract album.

Visitors will also learn about the stage that has hosted celebrated comedians including Michael McIntyre , Kevin Hart and Dave Chappelle , Joanne McNally, Sarah Millican and Jo Brand while discovering the rich heritage and cultural legacy of one of London’s most celebrated entertainment venues. Included in the tour is a complimentary drink and photo opportunity on the stage.

Originally opened in 1932 and renowned for its Art Deco architecture, the Grade II-listed venue has hosted generations of legendary music, comedy, theatre and cultural events, from landmark performances by The Beatles, David Bowie and Queen to acclaimed productions including Live at The Apollo and Britain’s Got Talent.
