Apple opens Apple Music Hall at Battersea Power Station

Apple’s Newsroom (press release dated September 21, 2026) says Apple Music Hall is open in London’s Battersea Power Station — a 600-capacity Spatial Audio live venue with on-site recording, mix, and multicamera capture. MacRumors (Tim Hardwick, September 22, 2026) summarized the same announcement.

Venue specs Apple is pitching

• 600 seats designed to feel close to the performer, with arena-grade production infrastructure
• 38-foot-wide stage that can reconfigure for front-facing or more in-the-round sets
• 48-speaker spatial sound system around the audience for immersive Spatial Audio performances
• Heritage brickwork, fluted arches, bronze balconies, and a giant glass wall looking toward the Battersea concourse and the Thames

Record, mix, and stream from the same show

Behind the stage, Apple says the Hall runs as a full production facility: two dedicated recording and mix studios for multitrack capture and Spatial Audio mixes (live or after the fact), plus hardwiring for 16 or more cameras into a broadcast control room — with infrastructure that also supports iPhone video capture alongside traditional broadcast cameras.

The pitch: an artist can play an intimate show and leave with a finished Spatial Audio recording, a broadcast-ready mix, and multicamera video from one night. Performances will also be livestreamed globally.

Oliver Schusser, Apple’s vice president of Apple Music and International Content, said Apple’s music roots run from the iPod through the iTunes Music Festival to Apple Music, and that opening the Hall is “taking an unprecedented step further… by supporting live music in ways only Apple can do.”

Zane Lowe, Apple Music’s global creative director and lead anchor for Apple Music 1, framed the venue as another way to connect artists and fans: “Great music and memories will be made at Apple Music Hall.”

Apple Music Radio London moves into Battersea

Apple also says all Apple Music Radio London-based hosts and shows will now broadcast live from new radio studios inside Battersea Power Station — interviews, specials, and surprise performances from the same campus as the Hall.

Bottom line

This is an official Apple opening, not a rumor: a purpose-built 600-cap Spatial Audio hall plus London Radio studios at Battersea, with tickets pointed at applemusichall.com and global livestreams promised for shows.
