Not too long after the arrival of its newest iPhone Pro model in stores, Cupertino tech giant Apple recently announced the opening of Apple Music Hall, a new live music venue located inside London’s historic Battersea Power Station. The venue is located along the River Thames, with a 600-seating capacity that merges the building’s vintage construction with newer interior elements, including space for Apple’s own podcast and radio shows.
At the heart of the Music Hall is a 38-foot-wide stage that can accommodate both traditional or in-the-round sets, alongside a 48-speaker spatial sound system. Behind the stage, the venue also includes two professional recording and mix studios, as well as a broadcast control room that’s fitted with over 16 cameras and iPhone video capture.

According to Apple, this setup allows artists to perform a live show which can also be recorded with equipment that supports Spatial Audio capture, in addition to a broadcast-ready mix with global livestreams available for viewers online.

At Apple Music, we care deeply about music, the artists who make it, and their life stories… We’re always looking for new opportunities to connect the artists and the fans because we are fans. What better way to celebrate this relationship than a new music venue where we get to experience amazing music in an amazing space and share it with the world. Great music and memories will be made at Apple Music Hall.
