Apple opens first live music venue inside London's Battersea Power Station
Apple has opened its first-ever live music venue inside London's Battersea Power Station. The company confirmed on 21 September 2026 that Apple Music Hall is now open. Apple
The room is built for small crowds. It holds 600 people and centres on a 38-foot-wide stage that can be reconfigured for different set-ups. Rolling Stone Sound comes from a 48-speaker spatial sound system, which places instruments and voices around the listener, and 16 or more cameras cover the room.
Apple describes the site as a state-of-the-art live music venue. It sits alongside the River Thames in the decommissioned power station building in Battersea. Battersea Power Station
The hall is designed to work as a venue and a studio at the same time. Artists can record a show on multitrack, meaning each instrument and vocal is captured on a separate track for later mixing. From one performance, an act can leave with a Spatial Audio recording, a broadcast-ready mix prepared for television or streaming, and multicamera video.
Shows at the hall will be livestreamed globally. Tickets are available through the venue's website at applemusichall.com.
The building already has a place in music history. It appeared on the cover of Pink Floyd's album Animals, released on 21 January 1977. The artwork depicts the power station with an inflatable pig floating in the sky above it.
What makes this stand out is the package. For fans, this means an intimate 600-capacity show in London can also reach a worldwide stream, while the artist walks away with finished audio and video ready for release.
