Apple has opened Apple Music Hall, a 600-capacity live music venue inside London’s Battersea Power Station. Opening in September 2026, the new space pairs the intimacy of a small concert hall with the production capabilities of a much larger venue.
Located beside the River Thames, Apple Music Hall draws on Battersea’s industrial character through exposed brickwork, fluted arches, bronze balconies and a vast glass wall overlooking the concourse and river. Its 38-foot-wide stage can shift from a traditional front-facing setup to an intimate in-the-round configuration.
With every seat close to the artist, the 600-capacity room is equipped with a 48-speaker spatial sound system designed for high-quality live listening.
“We’re always looking for new opportunities to connect the artists and the fans because we are fans,” says Zane Lowe, Apple Music’s global creative director and lead anchor of Apple Music 1.
A concert becomes a broadcast
Beyond the stage, the venue operates as a fully equipped production facility. Two recording and mixing studios capture performances as multitrack recordings for live or post-production Spatial Audio, while more than 16 cameras feed a dedicated broadcast control room.
Artists can leave the venue with Spatial Audio, broadcast-ready mixes and multicamera footage from a single performance. Shows will also be livestreamed globally, extending intimate London concerts to audiences worldwide.
The next chapter for Apple Music
Apple Music Hall also expands Apple Music’s presence at Battersea Power Station with new radio studios, where London-based hosts and programmes will broadcast live alongside interviews, premieres, special shows and surprise performances.
With intimate staging, advanced production and global broadcast capabilities, Apple Music Hall establishes a new kind of London music venue — one where a 600-person concert can resonate far beyond the room itself.
