Elton John To Rock First Show At Apple Music Hall
(DKC) Apple Music announced it's first run of shows at Apple Music Hall in a line up reveal outside Battersea Power Station. With Elton John, set to perform on the opening night, 28th September. They will be followed by performances from Baby Keem, Skye Newman Troye Sivan, Arlo Parks, Burna Boy, Chase & Status & Charli xcx.
This line up reveal follows the announcement for the opening of Apple Music Hall, a brand-new state-of-the-art live music venue in London's storied Battersea Power Station, designed to connect artists and fans through bespoke, intimate performances unlike anywhere else.
Apple Music Hall will offer artists and music fans alike an exceptional live concert experience alongside the River Thames. Taking inspiration from the iconic Battersea Power Station, 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 600-capacity venue is designed intentionally to close the gap between intimacy and production value and allow for an unprecedented level of creative control. 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. Additionally, the venue is equipped with a 48-speaker spatial sound system positioned all around the audience. When an artist performs in spatial, it will enable fans to hear that performance in an immersive environment.
Behind the stage, Apple Music Hall operates as a full production facility. Two dedicated recording and mix studios are built to professional standards so that 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 or more cameras that feed a purpose-built broadcast control room with infrastructure that supports iPhone video capture running in parallel alongside traditional broadcast cameras.
Apple has partnered with independent UK promoter Communion ONE to support bookings and promotion for Apple Music Hall, bringing deep expertise in the UK live music landscape. "Apple Music Hall is a fantastic venue, like nothing fans will have ever seen before," said Mazin Tappuni, a managing director at Communion ONE. "The production quality is world class, livestreaming to fans across the world, from a live room where every square foot has the artist and their fans in mind."
Live events at Apple Music Hall will be powered by DICE, a ticketing platform founded in the UK and committed to fair and innovative solutions for fans to access their favourite shows. "Partnering with Apple Music Hall is a perfect fit for DICE. The thought and attention to detail that has gone into every aspect of the venue is clear to see, and is in total alignment with our ethos of ensuring fans have the best possible experience when discovering and attending shows" Andrew Foggin, CCO DICE
Tickets for the first three shows go on sale Monday, 28th September at 9am. Visit applemusichall.com for more details.
